SAINTS TACKLE TERRON ARMSTEAD: JUNIOR GALETTE IS HANDS DOWN BEST NFL PLAYER I’VE PLAYED

Attached Thumbnails · 04-27-2014, 08:14 AM

Two of Saints left tackle Terron Armstead’s four starts last year were against the No. 1 and No. 2 defenses, or Seattle and Carolina, respectively. He also got to see Cameron Jordan, New Orleans’ Pro Bowl defensive end, up close every day in practice.

Yet, asked Monday night to name the best NFL player he played against as a rookie in 2013, Armstead said it was Saints outside linebacker Junior Galette — “hands down.”

Galette has the “most unorthodox style you would ever see,” Armstead told SiriusXM NFL Radio hosts Alex Marvez and Gil Brandt during an interview. “He’s not the typical 6-3, 6-4, 270-pound (pass rusher). He’s very nimble, very agile, his change of direction is incredible.

“I believe this guy will — he had kind of a breakout season last year, but I think (he will take) even another step.”

Armstead has played in how many games?!?

Settle down Rookie, you'll get your chance to face better...

I f'ing love Junior and his crazy ass pre-snap stance. Epitome of badass.

I don't think we really play any teams this season that have a good bull rushing DE, besides Greg Hardy I think. Plus Terron's strength isn't really a problem.

Carlos Dunlap (CIN), Ngata (Bal), Bierman (dirty birds), Quinn (Rams) all on the schedule this year. These guys will be coming.

He was asked the question. No need to "settle down".

Haloti Ngata is a 3-4 nose tackle, he won't be lining up against Armstead ever.

Two years ago he was moved to DE. Haven't checked recently though. He may be back at DT full time.
