How Rex is handling the IK situation in his return to the Meadowlands is far from OK.

The Buffalo Bills coach even brought props.
Buffalo Bills’ head coach Rex Ryan showed up at his Tuesday press conference donning a Clemson football helmet.
“It’s not a slap in anybody’s face”, Ryan said.
Jets coach Todd Bowles, who replaced Ryan, deflected questions as to whether he considered the Enemkpali’s designation disrespectful to Smith and the Jets. “This was never a thing of disrespect”.
This marks the first time the Jets have had to use two kickers in a season since 2008, when incumbent Mike Nugent suffered a season-ending thigh injury in the opener and was replaced by Jay Feely. “It wasn’t something where I thought he was going to take a shot at me or anything like that”. Ryan does not ascribe this to a lack of discipline among his players, but rather their desire to compete, saying that he’d rather have “a team that’s got a few fight”. Keeping up that type of play is going to be hard for him, but he will put up big numbers once again against the Jets.
It was a drop-the-mike moment for Ryan, whose news conferences are regarded as must-attend events.
“I get it. I used to coach there and all that stuff”, Ryan said.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J.-He knows firsthand the strengths and weaknesses of most of the opponent’s players.
And yet, Ryan acknowledges he’ll have more to say later.
“My plan wasn’t to have everything come crumbling down and have to move the next year, so I signed that contract with that expectation”, Fitzpatrick said. But after his act had worn thin to the powers-that-be in the Jets organization, he was unceremoniously dumped after 2014, something that had been expected by fans and Ryan alike since before the season began.
Cornerback Antonio Cromartie strained his left quadriceps against the Jaguars and Bowles said he’s “50-50” to play against the Bills.
His son, Seth, plays at Clemson. “I like it because he is totally different than any other coach”.
Additionally, Smith shed a bit of light on the cause for the sucker punch, but he didn’t get into much detail.
Swinney said he appreciated the sentiment. Here’s a sportswriter who tells everyone to lighten up and laugh at Rex Ryan’s troll job. “To make him a captain going into this game – if you’re going to make him a captain, just make him a captain”.
Not everyone’s was on board.
Rex Ryan on if IK Enemkpali will be a captain: “Yeah”.
Idzik’s horrific player acquisitions were too much to overcome, but Pryor made it clear that Ryan could have done one specific thing differently last season.
Fitzpatrick, by comparison, laughed off Ryan’s critique about his beard. I got attention but I got it in the right spot. RB Bilal Powell (ankle) and CB Buster Skrine (shoulder, hand) were limited.
Buffalo is 3-0 SU this season, when leading at the half.

Elsewhere, right tackle Seantrel Henderson was a limited participant at Tuesday’s practice with what the team is now calling an illness.
