    I think you've confused him with Diontae Spencer.

    Ford showed a lot of promise in 2017 which Chamblin would remember.

    Agreed - i thought he looked very good - a D play-maker.

    The return of Ford, plus maybe C. Vaughn (?) could give the Argos 2 real solid starters in the D-backfield, and IMO they need to find a group in TC and stick with them and let them gel together - other guys from the roster like Darby, Woodson & Washington, plus bring in new competition for TC. Wonder if Chamblin likes Gabriel at safety or might move him to OLB where he got some time in the 2017 GC season?

    I want the recently resigned Onyaka to see reps on defense...not sure he fits any 1 spot, could be versatile which is what Chamblin likes. He could be a ball hawk like his OUA days.

    I think you are confusing him with his brother Godfrey who was a ball hawk at Laurier. Nakas only had 1 pick in his OUA career.

    Perhaps "Playmaker" is a more accurate term.

    If, unlike last year, most of them stay healthy for most of the season, we could have a pretty good set of DBs.

    DBs, especially INTs who have not played against the waggle, tend to get a lot better in Year 2 and 3. I don't know which of our 2018 DBs will be returning, but I'd like to have them all back because I feel there are lots of diamonds in the rough back there.

    I want to see Jonathan Dowling get every opportunity to start at boundary corner. I like a bigger physical player on the boundary.

    Team seems to be stockpiling RB's. With Wilder, Burks, Rainey and Taylor (former 6th rounder) they should have a competitive training camp. BTW does anyone know if McCluster is returning? Wonder if Timmis is insurance, in case Coombs has another injury year?

    Argos had to go all in for BLM IMO. If they hadn't, we wouldn't hear the end of it lol
