Unpacked bags and home cooked meals

If all goes according to plan, Pat Woodcock will become one of the three highest paid players on the Ottawa Renegades. And the lad from Kanata wants it known, that nothing would better than to be flying down the field at Frank Clair in Red, White and Black.

Eric Tilman has made it pretty apparent that he has an interest in getting Woodcock into a Renegade uniform, feeling he'd be the perfect deep threat, for QB Kerry Joseph to toss his bombs to in the 2004 season. Woodcock was part of the Montreal air attack this past year, that kept many CFL defences on their heels for most of the game. It would be a perfect fit, for the Renegades to have some of that potential in their line up.

Woodcock likes what he sees in Ottawa, a solid Quarterback situation and a running back in Josh Ranek that can make things happen. The former ball boy for the Rough Rider organization, seems to be giving all the signals that Ottawa is where he wants to land. He's no longer interested in the NFL dog and pony show, preferring to get on with his career in the CFL. His wife Melanie is already a member of the Rens, as a member of the dance squad for the last few years. This is Tilman's secret weapon, there may be no hope for other teams.

The Woodcock's makes their home in Ottawa, the family house, only a twenty minute drive away from Frank Clair stadium. If Eric Tilman has his way, the carpool will stop at the Woodcock residence on game day this season.
