There was a few that said he wasn't good enough this off season / early this season.  Patience paid off.

My FA beef was it was a gamble.  Just like we gambled letting Nevis walk and going with Stove.  Just like we gambled letting Stove walk and going with Sayles.  Rinse, repeat.

They've been good at finding the next-up-n-comer at DT.  But each time it has been a gamble.

Still doesn't mean we wouldn't have been better had we retained Sayles and had sets with Sayles+Walker!

Let's hope we can keep this scouting + dev up indefinitely.

Sayles is a top player.  Also expensive. Next man up working real slick.

Didn't Sayles whiff on the FG block in the Grey Cup...I still haven't and won't ever watch as long as I am alive.  I close my eyes if they are ever showing it.

According to me and my analysis, yes, Sayles blew that FG block and takes a whack of blame for not letting us see if we could hate or worship Leggs.  And Boudreaux for not having all 7 hoggies in instead of Sayles.
