Howell makes the Bills - needle - 09-03-2012
Quote:"He made it because he was around the football," Bills coach Chan Gailey said of Howell. "He has a nose for the football. He made a lot of tackles in preseason games. He is a physical player, and we needed to keep a young safety that we can develop.Â

Congratulations to Howell and Bademosi. More Stanford players that were undrafted and beat out drafted players and veterans to make their teams. Maybe Stanford players will develop more of a reputation going forward and get the benefit of the doubt during the draft in the future.

After all the crap we heaped on Bademosi for being picked on by opposing QBs, I'm impressed that he's earned a roster spot. There is no better validation of your football skills than being named to an NFL roster. I look forward to seeing him in action!

Bademosi didn't stand out as a cover corner, apparently, but as a downfield demon on special teams.
Quote: Both coach Pat Shurmur and GM Tom Heckert were blunt in stating that Bademosi made the team because of his special-teams skills. The special teams have been brutal in recent weeks.

TE Evan Moore, formerly of the Browns, was signed by the Seahawks. TE Alex Smith is still with the Browns (a while back, he was with the Bucs).
DeCastro is listed as day-to-day by the Steelers--is that what might let him return later in the season? And over with the Chargers, Sean Cattouse is on the injured reserve list...
Re: Howell makes the Bills - stanfan - 09-05-2012
So, Cattouse is still injured from the forearm shiver Andrew gave him @ k.al two years ago? I thought only his feelings were hurt.

Long are the repercussions of an Andrew Luck hit.
Oddly enough, Shareece Wright is also with the Chargers (known for being the U$C DB tackled by Luck while returning a fumble).
