Great news.  Landon always seems to land-on his feet.  He has enough talent and enough experience that teams will at least take a look.  I hope he sticks.

Price is going to have 10 years in but only have service credit for two at this rate. Guy cannot catch a break.

I hope so too. I watched a lot of him with the Bears last season. He got some PT due to injuries on a thin line, but he looked overmatched at times. Hope he bounces back.

"Weather it's been through the NFL Draft or free agent signings, Ohio players have found their way to the league."

I think we're giving the weather too much credit.

Seahawks | Phil Bates is legitimate threat for roster spot
Wed, 06 Aug 2014 19:24:01 -0700
Seattle Seahawks WR Phil Bates has ranked as one of the team's breakout players through the first 10 days of training camp, and he is suddenly a legitimate threat to make the final 53-man roster. "He has been really productive," head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday, Aug. 6. "He's been active. He's made a bunch of big plays."

I didn't get to see any of the game last night, but the box score has Bates with 1 rush for 5 yards. I wonder if he was lined up at WR, QB, or FB on that. He didn't have any receptions.

NFL Net reran the game last night.  Bates was lined up at WR on the running play.  They also threw to him near the end of the first half but it was incomplete.  As I recall it was a poor throw.

Bates with 1 reception for 11 yards on 2 targets last night vs. the Chargers.

Carrie with 2 PRs for 63 yards, including a 50 yarder! Also was beat on a TD catch, though.
Highlights here:

Good to hear that Thompson's more than just a long snapper. I think if they keep him, he'll just keep getting better.

As for TJ, I can't fault him too much on the TD - matching up against the TE, he had about a 6 inch height disadvantage, and got out-muscled for the ball. His name was also called in that highlight film a few plays later when he gave up another pass where he may have thought he had deep help, and then again for a missed a tackle. His punt return was great, though.

How many TEs are kept? Pettigrew and Fauria are locks. Ebron who was 10th overall pick would be a lock.  Jordan should be the #4 TE. Lion's roster TEs below.

85 Ebron, Eric TE 6-4 265 21 R North Carolina
80 Fauria, Joseph TE 6-7 267 24 2 UCLA
49 Maxwell, Jacob TE 6-4 245 23 R Louisiana Lafayette
87 Pettigrew, Brandon TE 6-5 275 29 6 Oklahoma State
82 Thompson, Jordan TE 6-4 257 25 1 Ohio

Landon picked up a fumble and ran 59 yds to set up the Bills' only TD vs the Steelers.  He talks about it here.  Lookin' better for him to get a spot on the roster.

I'm very impressed with Landen off of today's interviews.  I knew that he was a pretty good football player.  Now I know that he's a smart, adult business person.

More good press for Cohen:

A roster spot is looking better each day, which delights me as a Bills fan. I believe the last Bobcat on the Bills was Scott Mayle on the practice squad a few years back...

A friend who's an ardent Bills fan and follows them closely said Landon is going to make the team. Good for him after hanging on for 6 years.
