Mr. Perfect Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Rob Demorvsky, one of the Green Bay Packers beat writers for ESPN projects that Andy Mulumba will not make the final roster. Mulumba is currently third on the Packers depth chart at his left outside linebackers position behind Clay Matthews and Mike Neal. Demorvsky, who is typically very accurate in his analysis, visions the team keeping 10 linebackers, and Mulumba being beat out by rookie Carl Bradford. http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/11659/green-bay-packers-projected-roster-4 http://www.packers.com/team/depth-chart.html
Blueandgold Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Mulumba seems like a guy who still might get an NFL offer elsewhere even if he is cut.
M.O.A.B. Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Sure exciting to hear some news like this. And some us can't help to be happy at the expense of these guys not making their NFL dreams which is understandable given our lack of Canadian depth. Still Mulumba will get a sniff from other NFL clubs if he dont make it on GB. But to dream is free... so really nice to dream seeing Mulumba, Bilukidi and Muamba in blue&gold.
rebusrankin Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Mulumba, I think gets this year to tryout/be on the pr/bounce around. Bilikudi if cut, I think comes north quicker.
sweep the leg Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Mulumba, I think gets this year to tryout/be on the pr/bounce around. I'm pretty sure he's not eligible to go on the pr.
17to85 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 If he's cut in Green Bay it's one step closer to coming to Winnipeg and wouldn't that be a sweet gift to get
rebusrankin Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Mulumba, I think gets this year to tryout/be on the pr/bounce around. I'm pretty sure he's not eligible to go on the pr. Has he played enough games to lose eligibility? I know Bilikudi has. Didn't know that on Mulumba. Would be sweet to have him up here.
gbill2004 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Andy Mulumba is eligible for the NFL practice roster. Everything I hear is that he's expected to go there if/when he is cut.
Mike Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Andy Mulumba is eligible for the NFL practice roster. Everything I hear is that he's expected to go there if/when he is cut. I'm not sure how he could be eligible. But I've heard some say he is and some say he is not. Just looked into it. He was active for a minimum of 11 games last year (stats recorded in 11) so I don't see how he could be eligible. Baseline is 9. James and TBURGESS 2

I'm just basing my information on what some Winnipeg media have stated. I want to say Penton but not 100% sure it was him.
James Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 I believe mike over most of the bomber reporters in WPG Bigblue204 and SPuDS 2
Fraser Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Is there a reason they limit the practice roster eligability?
Rich Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 I'm sure it's to keep the PR for prospects and not hide talent that other teams might be able to use. Similar to the waiver wire In the NHL except the NFL has no minor teams.
gbill2004 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 In order to be eligible for the practice squad, players must meet one of the following requirements:•Have no prior Accrued Seasons in the NFL (An accrued season is six or more games on the active roster);•Have one prior Accrued Season in which the player was on the 45-man active roster for no more than 8 games;•If served two seasons on a practice squad, are eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment.

Not sure if he gets any other sniffs around the NFL but if he does it can only be on their active roster. The NFL dream may be coming to an end for Mulumba. Suddenly, that pick is looking a lot better.
gbill2004 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 If he's not eligible, that's huge. Can't see him immediately being picked up by another NFL team to go on their active roster so we might just see him in Blue & Gold this season. When he was drafted I remember him being very positive about joining the Bombers. He will be a difference maker. This would be like signing Ted Laurent mid-season...huge!! He's got pro experience now so he should be able to step right in to the lineup.

SPuDS Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 While I agree, he would be huge boost... He is a proven talent that id assume would get a shot elsewhere.. (note) I write this because it seems like 9 times outta 10 the things I predict go backwards... Sooooo, let's go law of averages! road griller 1
pigseye Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Etch's head will explode deciding where he fits in his defence.
Mark F Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 what about chris matthews? can't find much on him. which is bad. would he be asked back, if seahawks release him?
James Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Etch's head will explode deciding where he fits in his defence. Is this said tongue in cheek? I certainly hope Etch will use him at end and not slide him inside because he's too heavy for "his style" of end. If we get bilukidi and Mulumba our defensive line will get a huge boost

GCn20 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 what about chris matthews? can't find much on him. which is bad. would he be asked back, if seahawks release him? He is considered an extremely long shot to make the 53 man. However, he does have PR eligibility left, although most of the NFL pundits are suggesting he won't be asked. I have heard rumblings of a verbal agreement being in place with him for his return. Don't know how accurate that might be.

If we get bilukidi and Mulumba our defensive line will get a huge boost We get these guys and we're pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot. No guarantees. This Bombers team can make the playoff if they figured out their run D and their run game. Our passing attack can put up scores on the board while our passing defense are effective thus far. Having those 2 DL here will certainly boost our Canadian content and our DL. Mulumba > Richardson Bilukidi > Cornell and it will enable us to use a DI somewhere else.
