Cancer on and off the field? So there's no way his teammates would vote him to be a captain right?

Re: Galette injured, could require surgery
 

exactly
He makes one statement about the 2010 defense and the media blows it out of proportion, and that's all some people remember

Re: Galette injured, could require surgery
 

Is he a cancer in the locker room? I know he had some off the field issues but I forgot what he may have done to piss team mates off. yea he said a few things about old team mates but when did that become such a big deal?

Re: Galette injured, could require surgery
 

Losing Galette for any length of time is not a good thing for the defense. Can it be overcome? Possibly. However, the defense would have been a surer thing with Galette than without him. We need to hope that the injury does not require surgery.

"Don't sleep on..." "Cancer in the locker room..."

Re: Galette injured, could require surgery
 

Payton considered cutting him early this off-season after they were unable to trade him...

Loomis contract with Galette was definitely premature...

That said, we had a good draft and free agent addition that, at the least, could rotate and find matchups that will be more than effective...

I'm not sweating this also because early in these OTAs it was reported that his role was going to be specific to pass rush situations...

Losing some depth may be a concern, but you can only keep four OLBers anyways with NFL roster limits...

Re: Galette injured, could require surgery
 

How are we any worse without him. We were the worse defense on the field. I also recall him running his mouth about going up against a rookie. That didn't work out at all. He does bring a lot of intensity but skill alone, maybe slightly better than average. Where it really hurts is depth. If the defense is going to get better have to have it.

Re: Galette injured, could require surgery
 

If he was our leader he did a poor job of it last year. No leader lets that crap happen. People forget Browner is our new locker room enforcer. Also, Ellerbe as well has veteran leadership experience.

This ain't good.

Re: Galette injured, could require surgery
 

So because he's voted a captain that makes it right???? Its a reason management wanted him traded this offseason...if it wasnt for that big contract he'd be gone right now.
