LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We needed JG agains the Packers in a major way. Although it's pretty amazing that our defense performed half-way decently given the inexperience in the secondary/LB-core, we are still in dire need a game-changing pass rusher. I'm usually all for drafting big boys in the middle, but if there is any chance to grab a pass-rush specialist in this year's draft we would be wise to do so.Also, I love the tat even if it means that the guy is seriously insane lol.

TK Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 i like that he feels that committed to the team anyone remember who it was a few years ago that we drafted or traded for and he went and bought all this redskins gear because he was so happy to be on the redskins, i want to say it was late 2000s redskins, but that made me feel good too Hankerson Bleh! Don't bump like this, I thought we really signed him for 2016!We have right of first refusal. He's a Scot guy. He'll be here next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm certain that our FO is crunching numbers and things. Love to see the statement that the guy wants to be here. I was afraid the guy would be all about the paycheck. He was one of the people that I was really hoping would be around, next year. And this certainly makes that look more likely. Thanks for the positive news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Found this while looking at other articles. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/football-insider/wp/2016/01/11/junior-galette-expects-to-return-to-full-strength-by-march-and-re-sign-with-redskins/ Junior Galette expects to return to full strength by March and re-sign with Redskins Nearly five months after rupturing an Achilles’ tendon to end his first season with the Washington Redskins before it even started, outside linebacker Junior Galette has resumed running and is expected to regain full strength by March. Galette has rehabilitated at Redskins Park since his surgery, but has only been in the locker room once during media availability this season, and didn’t speak to reporters. However, as his teammates cleaned out their lockers the day after the Redskins’ playoff loss to Green Bay, Galette provided an update on his status and expressed encouragement by his progress. Galette, who had signed a one-year deal with Washington during training camp after getting released by the New Orleans Saints, also expressed confidence that he will remain with the Redskins. “My goal is to be 100 percent by March and sign a long-term deal here,” Galette said. “That’s my goal.” ^^ See last quote above.

PeterMP Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Does it even make sense to bring him back? (which realistically, I guess depends on how much you have to pay him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Absolutely makes sense - pass rushers like Junior are few and far between. I hope he signs a long term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKskins Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think it's safe to say Galette will be re-signing.... If not, he's going to be in for some very painful laser surgery!!

RonArtest15 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Does it even make sense to bring him back? (which realistically, I guess depends on how much you have to pay him). Make sense? You know how good our OLB rotation will be with Galette, Smith, and Kerrigan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMP Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Make sense? You know how good our OLB rotation will be with Galette, Smith, and Kerrigan? This sort of got picked up in the 5 tech thread, but assuming Galette is healthy, there are bigger issues on this team than another starting quality pass rushing OLB. Galette made sense in the context of Smith was a rookie, and you weren't sure how good is was going to be, but I think Smith showed enough this year that he deserves more snaps at OLB- not fewer where you are rotating him with Galette. Take the money you'd spend on Galette and sign somebody that can get some pressure from the DL (unless Galette is going to give you a significant discount).

I think the Skins expected the combination of Murphy and Smith to play well enough to be starters, considering Galette didn't sign till July 31, so if they wanted him then, they should want him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap isn't going to be a problem and the Skins have money to use to fill other holes. Between the draft and FA, I'm sure SMGM will do just that. Besides, you can never have enough guys that get to the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or start Smith and Galette...flip Kerrigan for value. I know people will hate that option, but I'm not really kidding. Kerrigan is very solid and a good player, but he's not dynamic. If there's a logjam there, maybe he's the guy you trade for picks or OL? You can't pay all 3 guys since only 2 play at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston can serve as a back up for both Ryan and Junior. You think it's feasible to make Trent bulk up and play DE? Probabl a stretch, would have to put in 40-50 pounds?

Silvernon Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The cap isn't going to be a problem and the Skins have money to use to fill other holes. Between the draft and FA, I'm sure SMGM will do just that. Besides, you can never have enough guys that get to the QB. Well, you can. Kiwanuka, Osi, Strahan and Tuck made it work primarily because they had Tuck play inside on any and every obvious pass down and Strahan was very near to the end of his playing days. Following 2006, they had to move Kiwanuka to SLB to get him playing time and because the LB core was particularly weak. Kiwanuka was injured late in 2007, Strahan retired following 2007 and Osi injured in 2008. Considering Strahan retiring and Osi being injured, in 2008 the Giants were undoubtedly happy to have Kiwanuka. That's not really the case here though. Murphy is probably the most like Kiwanuka in terms of the ability to play a 43 SLB, but having too much resources at the position will necessarily dictate a weakness elsewhere. For instance, look at RE unless you consider both Hatcher and Paea sure bets to return. ILB is particularly weak at the moment, as is SS. Considering Galette was/is a risk, it made sense not to count him into the equation, but if he is, then there is a question of getting your best players on the field. Murphy is probably a better player at his position (despite the criticisms) than Comptom/Riley/Robinson/Foster. That's not to say that Scot M. made a mistake and should have drafted McKinney or Perryman at ILB, Darby, Rollins or Rowe at CB, or Tarrt at S. That said, there is such a thing as loading up one position too much and in turn neglecting another where instant upgrades could be made. Would the team be better with Murphy/Kerrigan/Galette and McKinney/Perryman in 2016 or Murphy/Kerrigan/Galette/Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't we keep them all? What's wrong with starting Kerrigan and Galette and having "good" depth with Smith and Murphy? We need to stop with the mentality that we need to trade players when the next best thing comes along. Scot is building the team to have enough depth to (1) offset any injuries and (2) rotate waves of players in and out like the Giants and Seahawks did/do with their front 7. Smith can play backup for a while and I think it might be good to give Kerrigan some plays off to take a breather. He's been a bit banged up, so it might do him some good. If you noticed, that was kind of the philosophy that Scot was trying to employ with the DL. Wave after wave with fresh players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins Wingman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 wasnt his initial deal a 1 year prove it type deal? well he didnt prove anything so why would we sign him long term? he must be crazy to thing we are ready to lock him up long term. another prove it deal should be all he gets.

I don't really have a concept for how many snaps a typical starting OLB plays. If 3 very good players rotating between 2 positions is the norm, I'm fine with that.
