Saints DE/OLB Junior Galette says he is "very excited" about the team's switch to a 3-4 defense under Rob Ryan.
"Any transition (to outside linebacker) I would have to make would be smooth," Galette said. "God blessed me with the ability to move around, and I would be blessed to make that transition." Galette managed five sacks while playing just 26 percent of the snaps last season. He's viewed as one of the cornerstones to build on.

Saints DE Junior Galette exited Monday night's game against the Eagles with an ankle injury and is questionable to return.
Galette was injured in the first quarter. He has registered four sacks as part of the rotation behind Will Smith and Cameron Jordan this season.

Junior Galette is expected to open the season as the Saints' starting right end, during Will Smith's four-game suspension.
With Smith sidelined, Galette is New Orleans' only legit edge rusher. Galette quietly racked up 4.5 sacks in an extremely limited role last year, and put some heat on Blaine Gabbert in Friday's preseason game. ESPN's Pat Yasinskas expects Galette to be a "regular" in the rotation even when Smith returns.
