Look at this stat also - junior got 5 sacks in 26% defensive snaps, just think how many he could get in 75% snaps Same with martez who also recorded 4 1/2 sacks in very limited time, they could become pro bowlers New Orleans Saints DE Junior Galette fired up for Rob Ryan's new 3-4 defensive scheme | NOLA.com Last edited by papz; 02-23-2013 at 11:14 AM.. |

Re: Junior Galette fired up for 3-4 defense
Anyway, naturally he thinks he is a great fit for the 3-4 and Ryan's scheme in particular - he is, after all, looking to get a contract from the Saints. |

Re: Junior Galette fired up for 3-4 defense
I believe he could be a monster rush lb., he has all the tools. And playing DE last year just helped him learn to shed off of blocks. Go get them JUNIOR.

Re: Junior Galette fired up for 3-4 defense
And don't forget, he isn't trying to gain weight anymore. He'll likely drop some of the added weight and play around 250 lbs.
He had put on weight to play DE (I think he said he was up over 270 last off-season). Being cat-quick at 270 lbs? Imagine how fast-twitch this cat can be at 250 lbs. |

Re: Junior Galette fired up for 3-4 defense
But can he be effective dropping back into coverage? Martez will be fine because he's naturally a linebacker, but Junior either has a lot of work ahead of him or he's freakishly talented enough already... We'll see. I'm pulling for you Junior, I've always loved your non-stop motor.

But your right, I think pass coverage is everyone's major concern with Galette. I guess the good news is that the WOLB in a 3-4 doesn't drop into coverage that frequently. The WILB will be Vilma, who happens to excel in coverage so I think we'll be OK. Or maybe I'm just overly optimistic. |

That being said, I'd still like to draft an OLB in the first round who has experience covering receivers/tight ends just for insurance on obvious passing downs.

Re: Junior Galette fired up for 3-4 defense
Don't think I have seen this before. I think this can validate Danno's weight theory.
