Training camp is over .... adjustments have been made  and its time for the opening kickoff

Anybody change their minds on how preseason changed their expectations for this year .... Montreal thrashing Ottawa changed mine .... cutting Willy raise my hopes for the Argos .... Edmonton looks stronger than I first thought and Regina even worse

For the first time in years I am forecasting Winnipeg finishes first in the league  .. just an optimistic hunch .... I forecast these final standings:

Winnipeg

Calgary

Vancouver

Edmonton

Ottawa

Montreal

Toronto

Hamilton

Regina

I would love to have Bo at MLB. Mulumba would be nice too.

I'm with Mike on not liking Okaplaugo over Poop.

cant agree more.  with the rise of jeffcoat, I almost wonder if we should be dangling Oka as trade bait.

4 DE's+2 DT's, I don't get it.  Who's rotating with Nevis?

Pretty sure I saw Jeffcoat getting some reps inside last game but I could be wrong.

I've also seen Corney line up inside but I don't believe either of those guys is doing what Nevis does.  Logically Jake and Nevis are rotating and the other 3 DE's are freelancing.

we run a set where we have 4 DEs on the field at the same time.. was this maybe what you were seeing or was he actually in a tackle stance?

Break down position, buzz feet, rip and wrap?

I think he meant to say "taco stand".  Stupid auto-correct.

Blue Bomber Talk @BlueBomberTalk

Andy Mulumba, the 2nd overall pick of the 2013 #CFL draft, has been released by the L.A. #Rams. #Bombers #CFL #NFL

And for a sort of Winnipeg Jets connection, the person suing him is Sherry Brydson, who is a member of the Thomson family and worth an estimated $6 Billion.

That HAS to be the end of the road for Mulumba in the NFL, no? He's too expensive to make a team now. I wonder if he's interested in coming to the CFL?

My question is; are there other players we have now that could also be coming back from the NFL that would be better suited?  I know everyone has seemed to want Mulumba for a long time and he is supposed to help us in our MLB spot I'm assuming but there's been others expressing interest in some other players down south now as well that might be coming back home.

I mean 2013 was not that long ago so Mulumba must still be fairly young which would indicate that if he wants to still play football that it might work out well for us to have him here.  

The question is; would he be a starter here above the other players?  He's been playing at the NFL level so I would assume he could be but then we have seen many others who played in the NFL that are not starting Canadian material in the CFL.

 

From Wikipedia he also hasn't played in many games since 2013 and I wonder if that could be due to his ACL injury causing him to have possibly lost a step?

In the Rams' third preseason game, he had two tackles, a sack, a tackle for a loss, and recovered a fumble. I'd be willing to give him a chance to prove himself in the CFL.

I'm a Rams fan myself and have been following him closely.  From what I've read, he has no more PR eligibility so that doesn't make him an attractive option on the FA market and this is likely his last stand in the NFL.

wrong vernacular I'm sure but you must know the difference between a 3 point stance and standing up a la speed rush...

Tackle or end they all use the same stances and most often rush guys are lining up in a 4 point now.

Looks like Matthews made the Ravens.

Only Bryant turner could pull off the five point stance

Mulumba is interesting

Here's a good read on former 5 CFL players or prospects who have been released from camps, including Andy Mulumba.

Mulumba has nothing to do with the MLB spot, he's a rush end.

I've seen him line up in the MLB stance though.
