OLB Junior Galette er blevet kåret til ugens defensive spiller i NFC. Galette modtager prisen for sin præstation mod Carolina Panthers i sidste uges torsdags kamp.
Galette lavede 4 taklinger (3 solo), 2 sacks for tab af 11 yards og en forced fumble i Saints sejr over Panthers.
Det er første gang at Galette modtager en ugens spiller pris.
Beklager, der er ingen aktuelle afstemninger.
Altid rart at se en Saints (defensiv) spiller modtag den største udmærkelse for sin indsats
– ved ikke om dette var hans bedste kamp, men Junior har tydeligt fremstået som leder på defensiven
Hvorfor vi har brug for Junior som leder på Saints defensiv:
Årets største indkøbsflop – klippet fra NFL.com:
1. Jairus Byrd, New Orleans Saints safety: Of all players who changed teams this offseason, Byrd earned the most guaranteed money. A major red flag emerged shortly thereafter when Byrd underwent back surgery in May. He was limited in training camp and exposed as a liability during the Saints’ disappointing September. After missing tackles and surrendering big plays, the three-time Pro Bowl selection managed just four games before a torn lateral meniscus ligament ended his season.
4. Champ Bailey, New Orleans Saints cornerback: The Saints had financial incentive to keep Bailey on the roster after handing him $500,000 guaranteed in April. Instead, they released him before the season once it became obvious that last year’s nagging foot injury wasn’t going away. Perhaps a more rigorous medical screening is needed in New Orleans.
…..tænk på hvor vores defensiv havde været hvis disse to køb havde givet pote ???
