Saints rookie Anthony opening eyes at linebacker

When Junior Galette was released by the New Orleans Saints, he went on a Twitter rampage that may have seriously hurt his chances of being picked up by any team. “He was just honest”. “He shared the passion and enthusiasm I had. It is not just me sitting in a room”.

That’s a questionable assertion given the Redskins have seven wins total over the last two seasons and have finished last in the NFC East eight of the past 11 years. He wanted… a second chance.

A Redskins spokesman said he could not confirm an agreement with Galette. “But it’s what you do after that”.

As a result, Payton and Loomis had to take responsibility for the costly mistake of signing Galette, a talented pass rusher, to such a lucrative deal.

Instead of being the ball-hawking safety the defense has been needing since Darren Sharper retired to begin his path to prison, Byrd was a virtual no-show all season.

While I’ve had several scouts tell me that Trent Murphy could become a double digit sack guy at rush LB, they all agree that DE could be in his future. I was trying to get him to sign. I wanna be the guy who makes everyone around him better. Assuming he makes it back to full health for Week 1, he’ll likely hold down the starting spot at outside linebacker across from Ryan Kerrigan.

There’s yet to be a day the 6-foot-6, 225-pound receiver hasn’t wowed onlookers with both his imposing stature and remarkable play. Johnson was injured in a drive-by shooting in March, but the wounds to his shoulder are healing and wouldn’t affect his play on the field. Despite that, the Redskins are reportedly taking a look. Galette took a physical with the Redskins and he met team officials and now a deal could get done soon if other teams don’t meet the price of what Galette is looking for and the Redskins do. I think regardless of whether I’m running with the 1s or the 2s, it really doesn’t matter right now. Not after an arrest for simple battery with domestic violence in January.

Brian McNally of 106.7 The Fan added that Gruden said Galette may not start at outside linebacker. In addition, the Saints and the NFL were made aware of a 2013 video that surfaced in July that allegedly shows Galette striking a woman with a belt during a group scuffle on a beach that was recorded by an onlooker.

Is there a difference in the tempo when players know that there is a day off coming the next day? “Obviously, we’d prefer – and I think it’d be in his best interest to not to let that emotion come out publicly, but it is what it is”. He does certain things just a little bit different (than previous centers). Trouble follow you sometimes. But that’s our teammate. “We were pulling for him as much as anything because he does have a presence and he’s so well respected”. “Still got a lot of work to do, but it’s encouraging”. Zach Strief is a great friend of the media, but his days as an every-down starter are shrinking.

“We can’t turn the clock back”. He’s been one of the top players in the league when it comes to QB pressures.

The cover skills of last year’s secondary were simply frightening at times. It was T-Knighton having a relationship with him and going to school with him.

If they’re wrong then critics will point to Galette’s off-field problems and question McCloughan’s commitment to bring high-character football players into his organization.
