You're giving him too much credit. What was said was... he wasn't good enough to be a 3rd string running back on most NFL rosters... much less being a starter on ours. You getting old. :p

Is it a "done" deal that Will Smith is out for 4 weeks?

Can I have the last word?

I really hope this shine trough during the preseason. We need passrush in any shape or form it comes.

Is that the Superdome Smash?

Wow.... I've been gone a while I guess, as I must have missed the "Canton meltdown".... Practice, and real game situations are completely different. Let's see what he looks like in some pre-season games. I believe in the coaches evaluation, when it all comes down. If GW, and SP, say that he is the starter, then the is the man for the job.

Boogro 08-08-2011 02:12 PM

I like Galette as much as the next guy and he does have the speed and quickness to be a situational pass rusher. Word is he had a rough time with the playbook last year as expected coming from a small school. We'll see this preseason what he's got since he has a better grasp of things this year.

I think he is a bit overhyped though. Hype is fine but with Galette it goes a bit overboard. Realistically he's be our 5th DE behind Smith, Jordan, Brown, and McBride and then there's Charleston. Also, early on in camp we had a undrafted FA starting at LT. We'll see how it goes in preseason and be the judge from there, but I do recall him blocking a punt last year in preseason and I don't care what group it was against but that was pretty impressive in itself. You dont see many DE's block punts on any level.

:) Its like beating a dead horse, is he good, no he's not. On and on, crap.
He's an underdog, that's why we are pulling for him. So yes we want to see him make it big.

Look, I hope this kid does well and gives us a dynamic rusher for years to come. But come on baby, we're talking about practice. Rudy was one helluva player in practice, embarrassed people in fact, but doesn't mean he could pwn people in the game (although he did get that sack!).

Even if one completely ignores what Williams has said about Junior after the season and coming into this one, just the sheer fact Smith is going to be suspended for 4 games or so... it's pretty unlikely that we'll cut him.

While I don't think he's going to become a world beating pass rushing specialist(I do think it's over the top for someone who hasn't done anything yet), there's nothing wrong with giving the young man some praise when he's performing well. He is donning a Saints uniform after all.

Fair enough... he certainly deserves some praise for how well he is doing in camp.

My point is simply to keep things in PERSPECTIVE. If this kid comes out in the regular season and playoffs and makes things happen, I'll heap praise on him.

So if he does good will you eat your keyboard?..:p

I'm in total agreement with Canton on this one. Gallete hasn't done anything except go against camp bodies. Still, he is an interesting player and deserving of his own thread.

Hopefully Galette will have a breakout year although it isn't likely he will even see the field unless we have injuries.

Arrington = Galette :bng:

Canton was supposed to lend me his pink Speedo for a photo shoot. :D
Smashmouth was going to take pictures and I was going to have my own thread.
It was shot down by management. :confused:

You don't want to know what I do in the tub. :p
