Rex Ryan doesn't understand the IK Enemkpali captaincy uproar for Bills vs. Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Bills coach Rex Ryan defended his choice of IK Enemkpali as a team captain for Thursday's game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium, despite the fact that Enemkpali punched Jets quarterback Geno Smith in the jaw and knocked him out of the lineup during a training camp fight on Aug. 11.

"I really don't get it," Ryan told Jets reporters on a conference call Tuesday afternoon. "You guys know how I do the captains. If this was an isolated deal where I just threw a guy out there, then I can understand it. But this is what we do every single week.
