Bill Cowher: Rex has made 'mockery' of captain tag
Rex Ryan's decision to name special teamer IK Enemkpali a Bills captain Thursday night against the Jets was seen as a troll job, an act of defiance or a way to motivate his team, depending on who you listened to this week.
CBS' Bill Cowher, speaking on TNF Gameday on NFL Network, took serious issue with Ryan's decision.
"The captain tag is something that every head coach in this league takes seriously," Cowher said. "The captain tag is something that players vote on, head coaches they give their title to. It requires a player that you think exemplifies leadership. You earn that. Rex Ryan has made a mockery of it and to me it's annoying.
