The Jets didn’t have wide receiver Brandon Marshall and cornerback Darrelle Revis square off in any one-on-one matchups during Saturday’s practice, which came a day after the two tussled their way through a Friday practice that saw punches and taunts thrown by both men.

Coach Todd Bowles called it “nothing to write home about” on Saturday and added that he liked the competitiveness shown in early August by two of his veteran stars. Revis said that there was no ill will about anything that was said or done, calling it “nothing more” than football.

“You might hit somebody in the head, you might get poked in the eye, you might get your foot stepped on,” Revis said, via ESPN.com. “It’s all football. It’s all involved. It’s a very physical sport. We’re two very competitive guys, and this hasn’t been the first time of us getting into it. We’re both physical players, and we like to compete, and I think this is good. This is good for us to compete the way we did. Brandon’s not going to stop competing the way he competes, and I’m not going to stop competing the way I compete.”

There’s an old saying about practicing the way you play and the Jets are taking the position that the chippiness on Friday is evidence of the kind of edge they want to show come the regular season. It’s an easier position to take with no injuries or lingering bad feelings from Friday’s festivities, although the potential for either may make it a button the team wants to avoid pushing too often.
