Posted August 8, 201410 yr comment_72271 Pre-season game between the Colts and the Jets last night. Muamba's stat line was 9 tackles (2 assisted) and 1 forced fumble.
August 8, 201410 yr Author comment_72272 Article on the game: http://inkonindy.com/2014/08/07/final-indianapolis-colts-fall-new-york-jets-13-10/ Linebacker Henoc Muamba was a stud on defense. He led the team with 12 tackles and a forced fumble.
August 8, 201410 yr comment_72275 Not good for us, but great for Henoc. That will probably earn him decent playing time for the rest of the preseason.
August 8, 201410 yr comment_72289 Something to keep in mind going forward - Indy was down three inside linebackers during the game so Henoc got a lot of playing time. It will be interesting to see how he fairs when they get those bodies back, assuming they aren't long term injuries.
August 8, 201410 yr comment_72292 The other day, looking at Packers and some other team website, I noticed that NFL linebackers are huge, 250 pounds and up. Don't know if that's changing or not in the NFL. Don't know if Henoc fits their idea of a linebacker. a lot of American NFL coaches don't like to be doing anything new. good luck to him, hope he makes it.
August 8, 201410 yr comment_72314 So when is he coming back to the CFL? Right after Israel Idonije. Muamba is the kind of player who can earn a job on special teams if he shows enough good things in practise and preseason. And he's also the kind of player the team will deem expendable when they need a roster spot for a draft pick or signing they really like. He's in a position where if he plays well he can land a job and later lose it despite having no drop in his level of play.

I believe I saw on the Colts website that he beefed up to around 245 lbs...

August 10, 201410 yr comment_72748 He won't be back in the CFL for a few years at least I'd wager. As much as I'd love to have him here, its almost just as good to see him do good down in the NFL.
August 10, 201410 yr comment_72751 Scary that you can weigh 243 lbs and still have O-linemen coming at you that outweigh you by 100 lbs
August 11, 201410 yr comment_72887 Think the Colts will sign Cauchy as an incentive to keep Henoc in the NFL?
August 11, 201410 yr comment_72895 Think the Colts will sign Cauchy as an incentive to keep Henoc in the NFL? Hahaha yep any day now.... there's no chance a potential 7-figure salary will mean much without his bro
August 11, 201410 yr comment_72950 Think the Colts will sign Cauchy as an incentive to keep Henoc in the NFL? Did the Colts hire Joe Mack. Must have missed that.
