Buffalo Bills Coach: ‘Take Your Kid to Clemson’
Buffalo Bills’ LB IK Enemkpali, the former NY Jet who broke QB Geno Smith’s jaw in training camp with a locker room punch, has been named a captain for Thursday night’s game between the Bills and the Jets.
Because this is a world of instant information, Ryan was asked about the Tweet before his press conference even concluded.
Ryan was the coach for the Jets in recent years before being let go after years of struggled in NY.
The Jets and Bills play in prime time, and Ryan’s decision has ramped up the hype for the game.
Several of the traditional indicators of defensive success fall in the Jets’ favor at the moment.
The Buffalo Bills are 4-4 on the season and they find themselves a 2.5 point underdog this week to beat the NY Jets on the road in New Jersey.
What do you guys think about this game?
Pryor was a first-team All-ACC strong safety at Louisville, and Ryan’s son Seth is a placeholder for Clemson, which is why the coach was wearing that dumb helmet.
“Has something to do with coaching as well”.
Pryor said it was disrespectful of Ryan to have Enemkpali serve as a co-captain. This week sees two teams that actually have a solid story built in; division rivals where one team has a coach that was just fired by the other team last season. “But I’m not going to change how we do things”.
Fox Sports’ take: “Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who is now banged up, has allowed the second-most touchdowns (six) at his position and an opposing quarterbacks have a rating of 135.3 when they throw his way, per Pro Football Focus”.
Few would dispute that claim.
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.
Tom Brady, 38, is having one of the best starts to a season in his 16-year career.
He has kept with this tradition this season, making former Miami Dolphin Richie Incognito a captain in both of the Bills’ games against the South Florida team.
But for a group that has suffered only one long-term injury to a starter this season (safety Aaron Williams is on injured reserve/designated to return because of a neck injury), the results elsewhere are disappointing. NY is going to utilize Ivory as a workhorse this week and he is going to have yet another big game.
Yet the most notable – and most discussed – problem has been the pass rush. He completed just 53.5 percent of his passes and was sacked six times.
While from an outsider’s perspective it seems incredibly odd that Ryan would do something like this, it actually makes ideal sense. The Bills got quarterback Tyrod Taylor back under center and they looked like a much better team last week in a win over Miami.
“We can make a long list of reasons, but ultimately we’ve had a chance in all these games”, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said.
