I dunno...facial recognition looks close, but that guy in the beach picture doesn't look like he has NFL Linebacker "guns". Don't you think they look rather normal?

So Galette is Haitian just like Garcon and Francois. Maybe those 2 can mentor and help Galette mature, skins must have some Haitian fans.

Not sure I see much risk involved here, if he's a turd you cut him. We've got some good leadership on D to hopefully have him fall in line with.

This is THE end all, be all argument. Do you guys understand that we are paying Galette the same as we are paying Frank Kearse and Jackson Jeffcoat from a salary cap perspective?

Knowing that, how you can still have concerns baffles me, and shows you don't understand the NFL's transaction process.

Well it's not the end all, be all argument. There is the issue of is the locker room/organization strong enough to handle a player who is known to have been difficult for teammates to deal with in the locker room; will likely less playing time negatively impact Trent Murphy's (and Preston Smith's) development; what about the strong possibility he could be suspended for up to half the season. The first two in particular could linger long after the financial implications are gone.

Totally agree! I wish we had passed on him.

I say you jettison his ass the first sign of discontent and I mean the first sign not after it's already rooted.

[Hog1]

Exactly, if he's a problem, kick his budget ass to the curb and move on.
HOWEVER, the more I hear from him, the more I like...The Potroast Man. I am certainly willing to give him and the team a chance to turn this guy around. If he can keep his s... straight, holy hell what a coup that would be.

Galette told Mclovin the truth about what happened in the video:

McCloughan did his homework before signing Galette | Comcast SportsNet Washington

I'm happy with it.

[Alvin Walton]

I was surprised by this signing but I'll say this.....
Hes a Redskin now and has huge potential.
He had 22 sacks in the last two seasons.
Right now I dont care about his past, I care about his future.
If Preston develops nicely we're going to have a damn good pass rush real soon.

The Washington Redskins started their homework before the New Orleans Saints even released Junior Galette. Dozens of interviews later, including one with Galette himself, convinced them he was a risk worth accepting, Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan said.

"We did our investigation," McCloughan said. "We were thorough, thorough, thorough. We went to the league office and other players [and coaches] in the league. This guy, we feel very comfortable bringing him on board. Very comfortable.

"I can tell you, when he left my room, the guy was crying, the guy was sweating. He was so excited to be a Redskin. That's passion. That's what I'm looking for: competitiveness, toughness. He has to walk the line and he knows that. If he doesn't, then he's gone."

Washington Redskins did thorough check on Junior Galette, GM Scot McCloughan says

1 - i like that Scot started the background check process before galette was even released. thats some proactive, football-consumes-him type mentality from our GM and I love that.

2 - i love that Scot could connect deep with a player. galette calling us a "properly functioning" organization is odd to hear but im really impressed with Scot.

3 - stunting the growth of 2 2nd rounders in Murphy and Smith is a consideration but TC hasnt even really started yet and injuries can make a lot of "whose starting" decisions. low risk, decent reward situation.

i dont think this guy will be a beast or really play more than 50% of the snaps. i could see him as a specific package type player - 3rd downs and passing plays.

It's encouraging to hear about that.

Some eight balls act contrite in a "come to Jesus" meeting and than go right back to doing what they've always done. So, who knows how Galette will behave from now on?

Junior has been at Redskins Park for about fifteen seconds so he has no earthly idea whether or not the Redskins are a "properly functioning" organization. That sounds more like another dig at the New Orleans organization.

3 - stunting the growth of 2 2nd rounders in Murphy and Smith is a consideration but TC hasnt even really started yet and injuries can make a lot of "whose starting" decisions. low risk, decent reward situation.

If the Skins thought highly of Murphy and Smith as pass-rushers they may not have pursued Galette at all. Murphy is good vs. the run but I think Smith will be a bust because he lacks quickness.

i dont think this guy will be a beast or really play more than 50% of the snaps. i could see him as a specific package type player - 3rd downs and passing plays.

That would be fine with me. If he can make some big plays as a pass rusher that would help the team.

Hail!
