Ealey

News today that Washaun Ealey has been granted unconditional release from the team.

Several things come to mind. First, I am resisting the temptation to immediately jump to the cynical side of the issue (for once in my life). Reading posts on some blogs makes me ashamed to be a Bulldog fan. We don't know for sure why he left. We don't know what was actually said. We just know it didn't work out. Why jump on the guy with both feet?

Secondly, I feel a sense that we actually lost a valuable asset. I know the numbers didn't add up quite yet but I feel his best days are ahead of him.

Thirdly, I am happy to see that the coaches are indicating that they're willing to let talent walk away in order to stay true to the idea that the team is more important.

I wish Ealey the best. I'd like to see him go somewhere else and sort it all out. In the meantime, I look forward to the race to fill the void. Competition should produce nice results. Let's see who steps up.
