After spraining his ankle in 7-on-7 work, Jets rookie S Jamal Adams was held out of team activities Thursday. But Adams, the No. 6 overall selection in April's Draft, declared on Twitter that he was fine shortly after the workout.

After a day off, head coach Todd Bowles liked his team's effort in a session that included a lot of mixing and matching. But Bowles didn't like the overall execution as all three of the quarterbacks faced consistent pressure on a hot day at One Jets Drive.

"I think that as a team we were sloppy," he said and later added, "They practiced hard. We just have to practice smarter."

The defense dominated the vast majority of team drills and spectators saw animated offensive coordinator John Morton send a number of his players for penalty laps.

"He's going to be a great old man because when he gets old and starts yelling at kids, his voice is going to scare a lot of people," Bowles said of the first-year offensive coordinator.

Quincy Enunwa said Thursday was Morton's biggest installation to date and the veteran wideout didn't like how the unit responded to the package after an off day. Despite what appeared to be a fine day for the defensive line, Leonard Williams said the team didn't practice at a level they need to be at.
