Rex Ryan names puncher IK Enemkpali captain for Jets game

And now for Rex Ryan’s latest punchline…

The Bills coach, formerly with the Jets, said Monday he will make IK Enemkpali a team captain when the AFC East rivals square off Thursday night.

Enemkpali is best known for breaking Jets quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw during a locker-room confrontation during the preseason. That led to the reserve linebacker’s banishment to Buffalo — and Ryan Fitzpatrick’s installation as signal-called for Gang Green’s 5-3 start.

“I do this all the time,” Ryan said on a call with Bills reporters, according to ESPN, and it’s true, he does.
