Fitz has ‘nowhere to go but up’

Todd Bowles expects to see a different Ryan Fitzpatrick this Sunday. His reasoning is simple.

“He can’t play any worse, and we can’t coach it any worse,” the Jets coach said Friday following the final practice before meeting the Seahawks at MetLife Stadium. “There’s nowhere to go but up.”

Fitzpatrick, indeed, is coming off a six-interception disaster against the Chiefs in an ugly 24-3 loss. Now he will have to deal with Seattle’s “Legion of Boom” secondary without No. 2 wide receiver Eric Decker, who is rehabbing a partially torn right rotator cuff.

While the Seahawks lead the NFL in fewest yards allowed per game (250.3) and are only giving up 12.3 points per contest, second lowest in the league, they only have one interception through three games, and have yet to recover a forced fumble. That has been a focal point of the week for the Jets, limiting turnovers, after committing eight at Kansas City.

“We’re going to take care of the football,” Bowles said, almost making it sound like a guarantee. “Going forward, we’re going to make sure [all those turnovers don’t] happen again.”

Left tackle Ryan Clady was limited in practice for the second straight day. After classifying Thursday as a maintenance day, the Jets revealed Clady is battling a shoulder injury and is questionable. But Bowles expects him to play. Inside linebacker Bruce Carter (ankle) also was limited, and is questionable. ... Bryce Petty (shoulder) and Jalin Marshall (shoulder) didn’t practice and will be out Sunday. Bowles said Marshall is still a few weeks away from returning to practice. ... Bowles has yet to make a decision whether the two newly signed players, return specialist/wide receiver Jeremy Ross and tight end Austin Seferian- Jenkins, will be active against the Seahawks.

A game-time decision last Sunday with knee and foot injuries, wide receiver Brandon Marshall practiced fully all week and appears much healthier.

“He looks a lot better than he did last week,” Bowles said.

After spraining the MCL in his left knee Sunday, there was thought Seattle’s All-Pro quarterback, Russell Wilson, could be out Sunday. But after practicing fully all week with a brace, he wasn’t on the injury report. Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls (fibula), however, is out for the second straight week.
