Jets want to throw ball more to RB Le'Veon Bell

Jets coach Adam Gase has emphasized throwing the ball to Le'Veon Bell in recent days, a possible foreshadowing of what he has planned for this season.

“I feel like we can find better ways to get him the ball to help him create more explosive plays,” Gase said Tuesday. “We can get him in space better than what we did last year.
