Mr. Perfect Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Week 4 of the NFL preseason is seen as the time for bubble players to leave one final lasting impact on their teams. With that, here are how players did that may be of interest to the Blue and Gold: Henoc Muamba - 1 tackle Philip Hunt - 1 tackle Christo Bilduki - 2.5 tackles Andy Mulumba - 1 tackle - Had a roughing the passer penalty which wiped out a Green Bay interception.

Bomber Diehard Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Bukilidi could be in town in a couple weeks, he would fit in very good as a DT. He is a very Beefed up boy that will help on the run.
Blueandgold Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Getting everyone not named Henoc would be amazing. Although, I wonder if O'Shea would even be interested if Phillip Hunt returns to the CFL.
Captain Blue Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Man having one of those Canadian defensive linemen here would be so flipping awesome.
Mr. Perfect Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Posted August 29, 2014 I'm most intrigued by Muamba. He had an outstanding game in week one and got a lot of playing time because of injury trouble for the Colts. Aside from that however he really didn't do a whole lot in the next three games. Mulumba on the other hand is competing with a fourth round pick, and two undrafted rookies for his spot. The fourth round pick is unlikely to be cut, and one of those undrafted rookies has 5 sacks in 3 games played, and the other had a sack tonight and also went to school at Alabama. There were a couple of injuries however at the position, so that wil; be the X-Factor in Mulumba's future I believe.

He's a virtual lock to make the Colts IMO.
Dr. Blue Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Even if Mulumba or Bilukidi were cut, I would not expect them to be here this year. I think they will wait around longer for another team to call in case of injuries. These guys have game experience, which could help a team out if injuries began to pile up. If no one calls, they will be here next year.
Captain Blue Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Think Henoc is definitely going to make the Colts.
Blueandgold Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Nothing from Chris Matthews so far tonight in Seattle. Unrelated to the Bombers, but I'd also expect Chris Williams & Dontrelle Inman to make the Bears and Chargers.
James Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Getting everyone not named Henoc would be amazing. Although, I wonder if O'Shea would even be interested if Phillip Hunt returns to the CFL. I would think that if it was Hunt, O'Shea would be interested.. He's more of a complete End, and probably has a better attitude when it comes to "buy in". I think the whole reason O'Shea doesn't want Hall is because of how Hall was acting in the previous regime.
Mark F Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 pro football focus "depth team of the preseason" includes "Linebackers: Henoc Muamba, IND (+5.7) and Jason Trusnik, MIA (+5.6) Former CFL star Muamba has shown a knack for making plays, proving very able at generating pressure which is a handy skill to have. He might be a project worth putting some serious work into.
TBieber Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 I think Muamba makes the Colts simply so he can't get away to another roster if they try to sneak him on the PR. The top 4 spots are locked up, so he would be battling for the 5th and presumably final.
TBieber Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 As for Bilukidi, I'd say he is 50/50 to make the Bengals. Variables that favour him, variables that don't. Mulumba probably doesn't make it because they drafted Bradford, added Peppers, and he hasn't exactly played outstanding. I'd expect someone to pick him up though.
Mr. Perfect Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Posted August 30, 2014 Phillip Hunt has been released. Muamba, Mulumba, and Bilduki have survived cut down day. Nothing on Matthews as of now.
M.O.A.B. Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 Cordaro Law cut by the Chargers Does Philip Hunt more suited on Etch's D than Alex Hall?
The Unknown Poster Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 Any interest in Michael Sam? FrostyWinnipeg 1
Yourface Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 Cordaro Law cut by the Chargers That will piss off a lot of Chargers fans I'm sure. He had an excellent pre-season.
M.O.A.B. Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 Any interest in Michael Sam? Sam will be a distraction in the locker room to the team. No offense meant. Media will always be following him. I'll be more interested in Garrett McIntyre, Cordaro Howard or Philip Hunt.
Mr. Perfect Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Posted August 30, 2014 Chris Matthews? Only a handful of Seattle's cuts have been announced so far. Nothing on Matthews.
M.O.A.B. Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 @Mike, TBieber and Rids... any Bombers neglister(s) among NFL cuts today?
iso_55 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 I wouldn't mind seeing Michael Sam. With the Flames owning the team & a player like Jon Cornish can't see him not being welcomed here. I mean, I think he's a better person than Quincy Butler.
Guest Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 Sam could be an intriguing player up here, Montreal has his neg rights though, which IMO isn't surprising at all (Popp seems to like players that are big names in the media). Really hoping that Matthews finds his way back here..
