yogi Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Can we slot Geoff Gray in at MLB? I know nothing about football, so I assume yes. SPuDS, rebusrankin, Noeller and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Guess we'll know in a few days if Gray gets a PR spot somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Gray if he comes up here I could see him in Hardrick s spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueingreenland Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 No. Neither Gray, nor Mulumba can be moved to MLB because Matt Nicholls and Andrew Harris are going to rotate in that spot.

Heck we could probably just not play Hurl and have 11 guys on the field and it would be an immediate improvement! Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2L Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I just hope Mulumba finally ends up here. We NEED a capable middle linebacker and he IS the answer! I wonder if we could get his brother too, I hear he plays safety. I guess the question is: if Mulumba comes to take over the middle linebacker spot, who is the odd man out: Justin Medlock, Paul LaPolice, or Dancing Gabe? I don't envy the coaches on this one... bearpants, SPuDS and Noeller 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I believe it was 2007 when Ike Charlton and Juran Bolden both came back from the NFL after Labour Day and it was a real boost to the team. It would be nice to add a player or two right now, whether that is an American or a Canadian. Chris Matthews, Terrell Sinkfield, Jeff Knox, Erik Harris and Derel Walker could all make an immediate impact here, IMO. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 We definitley need defensive help more so than offensive. Really hoping for some adds on the defensive side of the ball that will help us out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he has a pulse I don't see why not! He could also play RB on the offensive side of the ball... why not let him kick too?

rebusrankin Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Gray is going to play MLB and some OG, along with a few snaps at WR, a QB package called Big Fella and is going to do some kicking. Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah he is technically more of a DE but... You never know. Its also hard to know what weight he would come in at. He could be 255, he could have bulked up like ron warner, and soo many others trying to stick down there. His best fit size wise if hes up or at 255 is de, skill and experience wise his best fit is lber. But we may never see him. Hes got to have made like 3+ million down south allready. 20 hours ago, Mark F said: moneypenny. I do not like no CFL on saturday. I wish the league could get all the games played fri-sun. (save for stuff like LD) I dont like no football sats but i hate when the games are on in the middle of the week. 19 hours ago, JuranBoldenRules said: 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. Hes an LT style pass rusher, not an edge rusher. Westerman was projected to the nfl as a tweener, but played on the end with his hand down. 16 hours ago, 17to85 said: is it possible people see Mulumba and think Muamba and that's where the linebacker confusion comes in? Or its the fact hes played lber and not DE. Dont think any one has ever confused coachy as a LBer.... 15 hours ago, Floyd said: Remind me why we don't want a cdn DE? Jackson Jeffcoat. If he bolts next off season though, with our NI depth at DT if we had mulumba perhaps we could go 2 des, or ever 3 NI along the DL if poop makes the jump to the nfl. Thats an awful long ways off though. Walters went into it a bit and said that none of these guys are imminent to sign here or near it. High on the guys we have on the PR and doesnt see both a fit and instant improvement. Edited September 3, 2017 by wbbfan Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most plays he's playing defensive end with a hand in the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb1 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I don't know how we take any of this news as positive...we have great players that could be playing in the CFL sitting on practice rosters...its sad so many good players not playing but it's all about the money. The NFL is definitely hurting the CFL with these moves. It's becoming clear the myopic NFL can't or doesn't give a damn about the CFL anymore. Unfortunately a lot of young Canadians probably don't care ethier and would rather see these guys on a NFL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
