Junior Gallete
 

Leads the league in Qb hurries.
Still want to get rid of him?

Re: Junior Gallete
 

I just want him to STFU and play football.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

A few years ago we would have been thrilled to pick up a guy like him in FA.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

THIS. lol

Idk if i could have said it better myself Danno.

He damn sure better. He's a one trick pony, thats his job.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

For that contract & play all 3 downs, he'd better learn how to play team run defense.

QB hurries vs Team Run Defense Stats.

I'll take Team Run Defense Stats.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

You know, after further review I'm not convinced he's just a 1 trick pony. I think he gets that reputation because he's very good at rushing the passer, but is merely average or just below average at run defense and coverage.


I don't think he really sucks at anything other than twitter.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Lets subtract the times he lost containment from his hurries count and see if we have a positive number?

Re: Junior Gallete
 

I agree Danno. I had no idea about that stat. What it tells me is that the talent is there, there is just no cohesiveness. By all accounts that should have made Jorden excel this season. The problem is attitude and mental. Maybe these guys really did get caught up in all the pre season hype.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Well i see what youre saying, but so often i fail to see him set the edge & he's a liability in coverage, if he does attempt to. I do agree he's probably rite below average, but that doesnt really help his case. His game needs more consistency, he disappears from games completely.

I'll say this, he's not worth the contract he received. Heres to him progressing..

Re: Junior Gallete
 

What does QB hurries actually mean? Did it result in negative yards or perhaps an incomplete pass? If not and it only means the QB got the completion off sooner then it is a worthless stat. Give me negative yard plays, or sacks or even QB hits (even if the QB got the ball off the hits add up but we never seem to get QB hits).

This kinda sounds like a stat made up by a players agent.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

I wish JR. would learn to contain better and be flexible enough to play on the inside and out, he would be 1 bad man. Hears to wishing? Maybe 1 of those coaches not named Vitt could get him to turn the corner?

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Re: Junior Gallete
 

A 15 million cap hit with 16 million still in guaranteed... Brilliant :rolleyes:

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Galette's play isn't the problem. It's that the other guys get no push. All last year it was Galette first to the ball, QB moves to escape and gets nailed by oncoming Jordan/Hicks/Foster. This year it's: Galette flushes QB, QB evades, nobody near him, has all the time in the world to find an open receiver.

I don't care for Junior's twittering and general immaturity, but he plays his ass off every single game. What we need is for Hicks and Jordan to fulfill the potential they showed last year instead of loafing around and being fat and slow. I'm really afraid Jordan is morphing into the fat lazy late career version of Will Smith. Look at his arms next game. That guy hasn't worked out a day in his life. They need to be lifting every day in the offseason.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Doesn't everyone suck at using twatter?

Re: Junior Gallete
 

I agree, we aren't collapsing the pocket. Good QB's can evade Junior by simply stepping up.

Hicks, Jenkins and Jordan have failed miserably this season.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Agree with all the above. The fact that Hicks, Jenkins, and Jordan have failed miserably can be blamed for almost all the defensive woes. Our D-backs never had a chance being picked apart, especially once we were patching them together when bodies were falling.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Agreed. Even mediocre DB's can work out if you have a good pass rush.

Atlanta was 1 more injury away from having to pull someone from the stands and their DB's still performed.

I honestly think Atlanta has a shot to advance a round or two in the playoffs, and it makes me wanna puke.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Stupid stat. If you don't actually get there, it really doesn't matter. JR is an overpaid role player. He's not a starting DE because he gets trucked in the run game. He's not nor will he ever be an OLB. Cut bait and move on.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

I also would like more info on this stat. See my post #10.

Sounds like a stat made up by a player agent.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

first issue with the front 7

No Rotation to speak of. these guys are on the field way to much.

second issue

starting NT has been a void for years. thought we might have found something last year to work with but at this point not 1 impact starter in the bunch

third issue
overall talent of the LB in this system i rank as serviceable.

topic of Jr? given the three statements above i can bring the hammer down on him. that contract is laughable and i still am amazed we did it. but his over all play?

anchoring the edge D
bull rushing F
pass coverage D
stunts C
speed rush B

Overall grade I

He allows himself to be pushed out of plays way to often and teams us his speed rush against him and run plays underneath him all the time with basic delays.

He has improved but as for a complete rush OLB in a 34 defense he should not be on the field as much as he is.

I no way would i ever consider him a run defender at this point. pass down speed guy. but we do not have the depth to see truly what he can do.

same can be said about the unit as a whole. way to much playing time

Haralson is the best all around 3 down OLB we got hands down. I do not see anything on the bench to step in either to give him a rest. we need more LB like him and stop drafting pass rusher only types

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Does he also lead the league in Holding Calls not being called on the Offensive Lineman playing opposite him? :confused:

Re: Junior Gallete
 

It's funny how Gallette went from fan favorite to twitter twit in one year.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Kinda sums up the entire defense, and Junior certainly needs to improve in play recognition & gap discipline to help contain in his area of responsibility in run support.

We can sign all the FA shut-down corners in the league & draft all the shut-down corners out there, but if that Front 7 is weak, small, and/or tired, physical NFL teams will beat the hell out of us.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Which is why teams that are physical up front absolutely killed us

Bengals, Ravens, Cowboys as a couple examples

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Yep... I doubt we'd even have topics like this if he didn't make a mistake and criticize former players. People are so ready to find faults with the guy now. Where's all of the "get rid of Cameron Jordan" talk? At least Junior tried.

Re: Junior Gallete
 

Brees threw horrible when under pressure with nobody actually getting there. Led to many of his interceptions. Breese is below average when pressured and he was getting pressured all year.
