Chiefs Sign Another Fullback

With a spot open on the active roster for four weeks due to the suspension of Dwayne Bowe, the Chiefs added FB Tim Castille to the roster.

Castille is 5-11,238 pounds and has played two seasons in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals. Last year he played in 14 games as the Cardinals won the NFC Championship. He did not have any rushing attempts and caught four passes for 11 yards. Castille also had 10 tackles in the kicking game. He was inactive for all 16 games of his rookie season in 2007.  The Cardinals released him on the final cutdown before the start of the ‘09 regular season.

A native of Alabama, Castille signed with Arizona as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Alabama. With the Crimson Tide, he was a short-yardage specialist, laying in 43 games with 155 carries for 524 yards and 20 TDs. He also caught 59 passes for 363 yards.

His father Jeremiah was an All-America DB with Alabama who played six seasons in the NFL with the Broncos and Buccaneers. His brother Simeon played in nine games during the 2008 season for the Bengals.

    Not that exciting. I was hoping Jarvarris Williams would get called up from the practice squad. If Savage is injured then we only have two RBs on the roster. Not sure any team needs two FBs but maybe Castille is a better bruiser in short yardage than Williams or Cox.

    I guess another herm’s guy will bite the dust when Bowe returns. Haley should get guys around him to support his way of coaching. Wish he could have found a KR insted.

    They say Mangino (KU) has temper issues, what does that say about Haley game time shows?
