Doggone it! Jets delete Browns blast

As if the 0-4 Browns didn’t need more motivation to win this weekend, the Jets’ social media team offered some up Friday. In the early afternoon, the official Jets Twitter account put up a post intended to troll Cleveland ahead of Sunday’s game.

The post was a cartoon picture based on the Browns’ alternative logo of a tenacious dog. In the Jets’ post, the cartoon dog has a sad face, wearing both a post-surgical ‘cone of shame’ and a collar with a Jets charm on it. Beneath the cartoon was a single word: “Sit.”

The Jets deleted the post about an hour later. According to the Associated Press, the post was retweeted 300 times in that hour.

Jets coach Todd Bowles couldn’t have been happy with that. On Thursday he said that the Jets, at 2-2, have “nothing to brag about.”

The Demario Davis who came back, in a trade from Cleveland, for a second stint with the Jets has been very good so far. The linebacker has taken well to calling the defensive signals and leads the Jets with 49 tackles.

Davis, who left the Jets after the 2015 season and signed a two-year deal with the Browns, was acquired in June for Calvin Pryor.

“He’s meant a lot. He’s been a vocal leader,” Bowles said. “His overall leadership and understanding of the game has helped out the younger guys a lot.”

Davis sees the difference in his play from the last time he was a Jet.

“Night and day — you turn on the tape you can see it,” he said. “I’m better in a lot of ways, as far as a personal standpoint and a player standpoint. I think if you look at it, you can see it. ... [In Cleveland] I grew as a person and I grew as a player. Being there I think everything kind of helped me be more prepared for this season right here.”

He wasn’t sure how he was going to feel going back to face the Browns on Sunday.

“I won’t know until Sunday when I’m out there,” he said. “I’m tight with a lot of guys there. I’ll see those guys after the game, shake their hands, show some love.”

Defensive lineman Kony Ealy again was unable to practice because of a shoulder injury and will not play Sunday. He said he had gone for Xrays and doesn’t believe it will Twitter: @nyjets keep him out for a second game.

“It’s something that’s going to be ready to go next week,” he said. “I’m doing the things necessary and taking precautions that nothing is nicked up.”

RB Matt Forte (knee, toe) missed another day of practice and is out for Sunday’s game, as are LB Josh Martin (ankle) and CB Darryl Roberts (hamstring). CB Juston Burris (foot) and DE Muhammad

Wilkerson (shoulder) were limited and are listed as questionable. ... Bowles said he has not decided whether WR Jalin Mar

shall, who was suspended the first four weeks, will be activated for the game.
