Captain IK
Rex: IK Enemkpali will be captain at Jets

As if the return of Rex Ryan to Met Life Stadium to face his former team didn’t already have enough drama, Ryan confirmed Monday he will name IK Enemkpali one of the Bills captains for the game against the Jets Thursday Night on national television.

Enemkpali punched Jets quarterback Geno Smith and broke his jaw during training camp. He was released by the team and claimed off waivers by the Bills the next day. He was suspended four games by the league for the locker room incident.

Ryan has made it a practice to name former players of the Bills opposition, as well as players either from the home area of the other team or who played college football there, captains for the game that week. He also confirmed tight end Matthew Mulligan will be a captain Thursday night. Mulligan played for the Jets from 2009-2011.

“Yeah….,” Ryan responded when asked if there was a chance Enemkpali would be named captain for the game. “I’m gonna get ripped for whatever…I do this all the time. Anybody that’s played (for the opposition) you’re going to see. Will (Matthew) Mulligan be out there? Yep. He’ll be out there.”

Ryan said he does it to allow those players to be recognized by their former teammates. “That’s how I do the captains. If IK went out there by himself maybe that would be a different statement," he said. "But that’s not what we do."

Enemkpali was selected by the Jets in the 6th round of the 2014 draft. He played six games his rookie season for Ryan in New York. He’s played three games for the Bills, including lining up for a season-high 35-percent of the defensive snaps Sunday in the team’s 33-17 win over the Dolphins. He had two tackles.

This is a very classless move.

Usually I see the humor in Rex, but this is not funny and its not cute, its just mean spirited and classless.

I K won't be out there alone. They'll be 4-5 other ex-Jets out there also. This is SOP for Rex

Naming a guy captain who's broken another player's jaw in a non-football related matter.

I'm glad that dope is no longer our head coach.

I don't get why Rex thinks this is funny? I really did think Rex was a good coach but I agree Ham, it's classless. FY Rex.

Hopefully this will backfire on the buffoon and the Jets run this one up.

Rex continues to bloviate. On the old board I was criticized for be critical of him when I said - ST*U and get your team to play consistently....

He is classless buffoon and I am glad he is gone....

I could definitely see this as one of those dumb ass things Rex would do when he was our coach. Give the other team some"billboard" material. All he will do by doing this is to piss off our locker room.
As a teen waiting tables we once did a bump and dump. Server one standing in front of of a disliked customer, server two goes to pass behind and "accidentally" bumps the first. Contents of server one's hands ends up in lap of asshole.
I kind of hope that the football equivalent of this happens on Thursday. Someone gets mistakenly bumped to the sideline and takes that fat pompous ass out.

Real classless by Rex. I expected better, idk why but I did. This one makes no sense apart of him just being a jerk. He did the same thing against Jacksonville. He made the entire offensive line captains against them Bc Doug Marrone, the Bills former coach, is an oline coach now w Jax. Jax proceeded to destroy the bills. Hopefully we have the same result.
