Rex Ryan remains undefeated in the coin toss troll game.
We’ve seen the Buffalo Bills head coach fire the first shot on multiple occasions this season, like in London when he sent out his entire offensive line for the coin toss against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose offensive line coach is former Bills head coach Doug Marrone. We saw it again Sunday when he tabbed Richie Incognito and other ex-Miami Dolphins as captains against their former team.
Ryan is about to make his return to the Meadowlands to face the New York Jets, and since he can’t dress himself and do the coin toss himself, he’s settling for the next best thing. Ryan confirmed Monday what many already expected he’d do by saying linebacker IK Enemkpali would be one of the Bills’ captains Thursday night against the Jets.
In most cases, it would be a little odd to see Enemkpali, who has played in just nine games in his entire NFL career, to serve as a captain. However, Enemkpali, you’ll recall, was the man responsible for breaking quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw when he was with the Jets. The linebacker and Smith got into a locker room fight, ending when Enemkpali punched the QB in the face. Enemkpali was released shortly thereafter before signing with the Bills.
Here’s hoping Smith’s out there, too.
