Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on June 04, 2024, 07:19:32 PMGood signing by the Riders, I'd say.

I hate that I agree. He's a solid veteran who's still got a fair amount of tread left - at the right price.

Most times I saw BC play Sayles got burned. Time will tell. He had his good games and his terrible games.

Younger coached him, if he thought he'd be an asset, he'd be here.

I think Alford was maybe the last D player that looked good after leaving here... a lot of success was due to our coaching and system.

Quote from: Pigskin on June 04, 2024, 04:50:55 PMHis play really dropped off last season.

To me he didn't get much notice because teams were staying away from him. While he may have gotten burned a couple of times, I remember some very stout knockdowns too. He's good at being in the hip pocket, and he rarely gets IC/DPI anymore.

Quote from: Jesse on June 04, 2024, 05:36:21 PMHe'll fit in well there.

Not sure if /s or not?

He's a capable vet DB. I don't think any of us should hold a grudge over him. He won his cup and took his big payday and we couldn't compete $M$ for all our great DBs. I'm sure if he would have stayed for ELC we 100% retain him.

I'll always like Sayles for being a huge part of our 2019 GC. Man, that DB corps was amazing.

I don't hold a grudge against him for leaving, but he became a giant trash talker and started ran his mouth a few times before games against Winnipeg. Culturally, he seems to fit in with the Rider roster now.

Talk big, miss the play-offs.

A guy who's good enough that I'm glad he stuck in the NFL so we don't have to fight him in any GC! He's like a cross between Ento and Houston.

Oh ok thanks. Yeah sounds like a good player.

Wwwhhyyy??? Armstead must have crossed a line, pretty impressive running ability.

From Farhan:

Armstead was not happy on the sidelines in Victoria during the game in Victoria when the #Redblacks were struggling. Teammates tried to calm him down on multiple occasions.

Man I love football.
Just watchin Friday Night Lights. That's a pretty good movie.

Wow. Morrow is hot garbage. Armstead is headed to being the next Butler, IMHO. Armstead was a very reliable (and cheap) fantasy pick after the first few weeks.

Guarantee someone will pick him up... the question is, who needs an upgrade at RB? If SSK didn't have so much invested in marketing Oullette, they would totally be better with Armstead! CGY could take a nibble... Maybe even MTL? HAM?

There ya go. No one should have been happy stinking up the joint like that in Victoria!! It was pathetic and shameful for a 2nd place E team to do that.

Then again, you can get all insubordinate on your coaches. If someone gets impertinent and won't shut up after you warn them, then cut their butt. Can't start a trend or you lose the room.

However, OTT just got a whole heck of a lot weaker.
