New Orleans Saints DE Junior Galette on edge, on bubble

New Orleans Saints defensive end Junior Galette, one of the most popular players with fans who scan the roster looking for sleeping superstars, acknowledged Friday he is on the edge of the team's final roster.
That's not a comfortable position, but he is comfortable in it, Galette said. In the 2011 preseason, Galette has 8 tackles - 7 solo - but no sacks. He made the team in 2010, whetting the fans' appetite for the emergence of a new Lawrence Taylor-like sack specialist, and appeared in four games.
Whether he will repeat that, Galette acknowledged, is uncertain.
"It's one of those days of the year where you've got to wait and see how it all plans out," he said outside his locker Friday. "I gave it my all last night (against Tennessee); left everything I had on the field. All I can do is be thankful for this opportunity, you understand? Because from where I came from and where I'm at now, it's a long journey, but the journey is just beginning. So I have no idea - you never know what God's plan is. He works in mysterious ways. Right now I'm just thankful and blessed and highly favored, as always, and just worrying about the things I can control."
