PFF Secret Superstar: Junior Galette

Rugby Saint II · 06-08-2013, 02:55 PM

Junior has really put his nose to the grind stone and worked hard to get playing time. I still can't believe that Smith started in front of him.

And the sad thing is... Will Smith will still start and look like he's running in peanut butter while he rushes the passer as an OLB while Galette is used situationally. Naturally I hope I'm wrong about Smith's abilities, but if I'm not then I hope our coaches won't stubbornly keep him as a starter as we've been known to do.

I understand your pessimism. But this year will be different. Rob Ryan has no ties to Will Smith. Payton does. The players do. But I'm sure Ryan values having a respected veteran to work alongside the younger, developing OLBs.

Smith hasn't quite yet been put out to pasture, but the gate is surely open...

Won't start, will play, limited action, more holding the edge on running downs.
