So it appears #Argos draft pick Daryl Waud left the Washington Redskins on his own. Must want to fire up that #CFL career immediately.

This is Huge news! Our draft is looking really good immediately.

[1argoholic]

Sweet. Every things coming up roses. Good news week continues.

[argolio]

Great to see he really wants to be here.

Released by Redskins and hopefully headed to TO.

And he was released at his own request, OV! It sounds like he wants to be in Toronto more than Washington.

Bit of a gamble perhaps - he might have made the Redskins roster and had a wayyyyy bigger pay-day than he would get in the CFL; probably thought he was only going to be a TC fodder body there, and much better chance to make the Argos ? - let's see how he does and if he gets to play as a rookie - Laing / Waud at one DT spot could be very solid; then Foley, Gabriel, perhaps Greenwood = 4 NI starting spots on D (5 if Matt Black is given a real shot at corner and wins out) = could make a good ole boy head spin.

Great news - truly a man of Wode -- yes, yes I know it is Waud, but at my age I'm allowed a little poetic license

Yeah, but is he going to sign? Is he expecting a premium because he voluntarily left the Skins camp? Shouldn't he be entitled to one?

Gives Creehan lots of options if needed with the 4 NI as starters. But the will probably go with three starting positions. DT/DE Laing or Foley, OLB Greenwood and S Gabriel. I would like to see Matt Black get some playing time at corner as well, to keep him ready as a back up.
But with the starters available on defense and at least 4 on offense (three O Line and Durie) I would love to see a real big fullback (like a Mike Sellers or a Cookie Gilchrest) brought in. Such a player could be a game changer IMO getting those tough 3-4 yards consistently on second down, blocking for Ray catching some passes out of the back field and make those little OLB's pay the price. A guy about 6'2 240 with 4.6- 4.7 speed would fit the bill for me.

Not sure who the import DT on the roster is who is going to be better than Laing & Waud? = those 2 could possibly start at both DT spots with an import as the back-up - real TC competition should determine that.

You're probably right that these 2 could win out as the starting DT's - and with Greenwood at MLB. Sure hope that they all have good learning capacities, because there would be precious little experience at the centre core of the defense.

I was mostly joking about both Laing & Waud as starting DTs - entirely possible of course with real TC competition, but 2 starting NI DTs backed-up by an import is very unlikely and bound to boggle a good ole mind; Greenwood at MLB ? - some talk seems to be him at OLB with Jones at MLB ? - mind you, Greenwood has more experience playing Canadian ball and lasted longer in the NFL than Jones did - Greenwood to start somewhere on D for sure ?
