1. This is a big blow. Make no mistake about it. The Saints are going to feel the loss of Galette on the field. He was the best pass rusher on the team and now New Orleans is going to have to fill the void one way or another. That’s not an easy loss to overcome.
It seemed likely New Orleans was going to use Galette as a pass-rush specialist an minimize his exposure to running plays, but someone is going to step up and fill that void. The most likely candidates are second-round pick Hau’oli Kikaha, who was one of the most productive pass rushers in college football last season, and veteran Anthony Spencer.
