Noeller Posted September 2, 2017 Report Posted September 2, 2017 @BlueBomberTalk The #Packers have released 2017 8th overall pick Geoff Gray. #Bombers #NFL Likely deserving of its own thread..... wbbfan 1
Mr. Perfect Posted September 2, 2017 Report Posted September 2, 2017 Remains a practice roster candidate from some Packers beat writers I follow.

James Posted September 2, 2017 Report Posted September 2, 2017 Not sure if it matters... but mulumba has been released by the rams as well
Tracker Posted September 2, 2017 Report Posted September 2, 2017 Can we take up a collection so that a volunteer from here can drive over there and pick one or both of them up to bring them back here? Mark F, rebusrankin and Noeller 3
BBlink Posted September 2, 2017 Report Posted September 2, 2017 Bottom line is we don't need him this year. I always worry with these guys with NFL aspirations that they will find the nearest PR to sit on for the rest of their career...but I'm not sure Gray is like that. I think we'll see him next year.

Floyd Posted September 2, 2017 Report Posted September 2, 2017 If Mulumba and Gray show up, that'd be awesome... Osh will be able to play 10 Canadians...

I dont think gray would be ready to step in this year. Mulumba would also be pretty far off, but idk if he could be worse then hurl. But idk if he plays MLB or DE either. As for gray, whose spot would he take? Talk about a tough choice.

Mulumba is a DE, for about the tenth time, and Gray is hoped to take Bond's spot next year, as he's expected to head to the NFL....

Hes been a LBer for 4 years, and rushed with his hands up, and played off the line as much as he did any thing at EM. Too big to play LBer here? May well be. That would just put him further behind the curve then corney is. Who exactly is that from? Is it based on bond leaving? cus hes 26 and our best OL....

Goalie Posted September 2, 2017 Report Posted September 2, 2017 I could see Mulumba at MLB if he dropped 10 pounds or WIL... But yeah he is technically more of a DE but... You never know.

I'd be surprised if Bond goes back to NFL... he could never make a club and I guess the money's way better but he'd make some decent coin with his next contract and actually be able to play regularly.
Noeller Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Posted September 2, 2017 Was reported by someone like Bauming, maybe, earlier this year that the team expects to lose Bond after this year and the hope is that Gray would fill his spot.
JuranBoldenRules Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 Mulumba is an edge rusher, since he's been out of college he's mostly played for 3-4 teams so he's labeled "LB." It would be a pretty big leap to play MLB in the CFL for a guy who hasn't played that position in his life. Westerman was "LB" in the states too. Terrell Sinkfield was cut by the Vikings. There's a type of player we could use RFN. Huge upgrade on our returners, has been playing DB for the Vikes and pretty impactful offensive player up here previously. yogi and MOBomberFan 2

It would be a disastrous mistake to put him at MLB. I just don't know why this meme exists on MBB. We aren't Chris Jones' Riders. Noeller 1
kelownabomberfan Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 So Mulumba at MLB...sounds like a plan.... Seriously though, could you guys kind of see him as a hybrid, like Tyrone Jones? Floyd 1

James Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 Mulumba would likely shift inside well before he went to mlb
17to85 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 is it possible people see Mulumba and think Muamba and that's where the linebacker confusion comes in? bearpants, Noeller and Floyd 2 1

Honestly, I think people are so irrationally angry about Hurl that they want any and every big name player to come in and take the spot...
Floyd Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 Remind me why we don't want a cdn DE? Noeller and Atomic 2
17to85 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 16 minutes ago, Noeller said: Christ... We'd have THREE!! Is Mulumba better than either of the two we already have? Is he good enough and Corney good enough that we could start to phase out the older Westerman? Can we trade one of them for something we need? MOAR ASSETS! Noeller 1
