Nah, I'm not sure. That's my speculation, but the fact that it happened twice in such a similar situation makes me suspicious.
Hodgins wasn't nearly as good on teams, but many thought he was so much better than TDJ as a receiver in his preseason game action, that it should overrule Kumerow being rostered. Even the regular season elevations showed that's the kind of guy who moves chains. We want the Bills to matriculate, right?
