Enemkpali, of course, is the former Jet who got into an altercation with quarterback Geno Smith in August.

Former Bills and current Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick admits that facing the Buffalo team he used to quarterback will bring a few added motivation, much like it did past year when he faced them as quarterback of the Houston Texans. He named Ritchie Incognito captain against the Miami Dolphins.
Asked about Ryan’s selection Enemkpali, Bowles said: “He coaches his team”. Ryan said that former Jets tight end Matthew Mulligan would also be a captain on Thursday. Ryan played a big role in building New York’s defense. “To make him a captain going into this game, if you’re going to make him a captain, just make him a captain”.
We should point out that Rex talked about game-planning for the Jets for about eight minutes before being asked if this week was circled on his calendar (and three minutes about the Clemson football team). Throw Karlos Williams, who finally made a return from his concussion earlier in the season, and you have a team that looks as good as they were supposed to be.
The Buffalo Bills are taking on the NY Jets this week on Thursday night, November 12, 2015, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Ryan, who coached Smith for two years with the Jets, told the Buffalo News he was “a little shocked, to be honest with you, that so much was made of IK being the guy”.
HS: I think it’s a pretty evenly matched game but I give the Bills the edge because of the experiences with watching Ryan Fitzpatrick go up against Rex.
Brady-who is no doubt focused on the Patriots’ opponent Sunday, the NY Giants-will square off against Ryan’s Bills in Week 11 on “Monday Night Football”.
After the punch, the Jets immediately released Enemkpali, whom the Bills quickly signed. “He’s not a handsome kid”, Ryan said. But it appears that even before he faces his old team, Ryan is “On To New England”. A guy gets to see guys he’s played with before, all that type of stuff, I always think that’s a neat deal. Why not? Right when you think these press conferences can’t get any more entertaining, any more weird, he walks up to the podium like a comedian at a sold-out arena. They have nothing interesting to say and they never answer the question the way they would really like to answer it, but every once in a while a coach will let down their guard – and let loose like Dennis Green does in the following video.
“I had an easy opportunity for a pitch-and-catch touchdown, and I got scared by something”.
For a while, Fitzpatrick thought he was going to finish his career in Buffalo.

NOTES: Cornerback Antonio Cromartie (thigh bruise) is no better than “50/50” to play against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday….
