ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Saying he’s put his time with the J-E-T-S in the P-A-S-T, Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan insisted the focus of attention shouldn’t be placed on him.
If that’s the case, Ryan certainly had a curious way of showing it Monday.
In preparing to face his former team for the first time since being fired in December after six seasons in New York, Ryan announced he intends to designate linebacker IK Enemkpali as one of Buffalo’s team captains for the game at The Meadowlands on Thursday night.
Enemkpali, of course, is the player who was released by the Jets for a punch that broke starting quarterback Geno Smith‘s jaw during a locker room confrontation in August.
