They are already starting 8 Canadians so it's just a matter of adjusting the rotation they use on the dline have to have two of the three left in the game.

Upper body can mean the head. Concussion? Maybe it's not a physical injury.   Perhaps more of an "issue".

I really think you're on to something....

Theres your solution. Start 7 instead of 8. 

THANK YOU! They've been spewing this all season, going with 8 allows them to be flexable incase of injury. Well here's the injury. No need to change anything. Would be nice to get Poop Oko and Jeffcoat on the field at the same time.

Not a chance in hell do we mess with that O-line.

This coach/management doesn't do knee jerk quick fix. or Panic stations moves.

Even if they signed Mulumba, he wouldn't play.

Other guys, that have been here all season, and longer,  have worked hard, and deserve a chance ahead of him.

At least I think this is the way O'Shea sees/does things.

I'm sorry that Westerman is out, but I think they'll be fine.

Goes from taking a big old swig from the Banjo Bowl trophy, to New Jersey during the bye week to being done for the season today with an ubi.

I hope they don't dress just 6 DL as a result of this. Our D will suffer a lot more if they do.

Which will require to them to sit 1 INTL since only Nevis and Green is available and both are INTL.

So the choices to sit are: 

a. Flanders - imo, most likely to sit

b. Walker - we have available NATL DBs (Conteh and Branning) - it's a question of if they can provide same play as Walker. 

c. Hardrick - hope they keep the OL intact

d. Lankford - not gonna happen, imo. .

e. one of Knox/Santos-Knox - no available NATL LB in the lineup - so not gonna happen. This assuming Knox goes back to 42 and Wilson goes out

You are onto something...maybe it's me being a little bit of negative nancy but it seems like there's a lot more to this injury.  I guess we will find out more in the next few days but I feel like this injury isn't football related.  Westerman can't speak on a specific play during the game that he got injured on and the team has nothing to lose by reporting what his injury is if he's done for the year.  It seems like they are keeping it quiet out of respect for westerman

Whether right or wrong, I fall into this group, too...

Sit Lankford, dress Nevis or Green.  Replace Westerman with a NI receiver.

Well, someone who has worked hard but is not Canadian will have to sit anyway... probably Nevis - which at his salary is ridiculous.

This week isn't critical but next week sure is - Mulumba could easily be a rotation guy with Corney for Edmonton game

Well there is no other Canadian Dl guys on the roster so if he signed he would be in the lineup pretty quick. Branning was here a week or two and got in the banjo bowl.

And did he hurt himself strumming that damn banjo?

Uh... This is a pic from the 2015 Banjo Bowl.

Anyhoo, brutal news. That's a big loss to the D-line. Still can't help but scratch my head at how this all unfolded... A bit odd.

For the first time since the Mulumba watch started, I feel hope that he will actually come here, and when sorely needed.

I heard he's going to sign in Edmonton to play with his brother.

If that was the case, which it isn't, there would be no way that he'd be able to get in front of cameras and mics again this season.  

Yet we announced today media can have full access to him tomorrow following practice.

This makes me very sad. Love Westerman. 

 

Next man up.
