Jets head coach Rick Bowness, in his chat with Daily Faceoff, indicated that Blake Wheeler will not wear an ‘A’ this season. Not a big surprise there.
Also the beer of choice for the new Jets bench boss is Bud Light.
Lots to hear in this 25 or so minute discussion.

I feel better having listened to him. But at the same time I thought PoMo was a better communicator than he is. I liked his interviews but hated his systems, so I think I’m going to make the conscious choice to be naively optimistic for this year. I like that his first move was to strip wheeler naked. Brass balls.
