RICHMOND - It's not the speed, not the strength, but what stands out most is the stance.

When most pass rushers line up opposite an offensive tackle, the stances are similar. Usually a three-point, with one hand on the ground, or occasionally a four-point, with both hands on the ground. The head is up and the body is in position to fire off the second the football gets snapped.

With Junior Galette, it looks different. Very different.

He goes with the four-point stance, though what stands out is how low he gets his body. Everybody knows a typical stance for a down lineman, Galette's looks way different. His head ends up just inches off the ground, extremely low, and generates a ton of leverage as he turns the outside corner. The physics of it make a lot of sense. The tackle is backing up, something that naturally makes a person raise up to stand. Having to fight off Galette, practically parallel to the turf at the snap, must be incredibly tough.

In flashes through three days of training camp, Galette has shown his ability to get to the passer. His rush technique is unique, and worked to devastating results as a member of the New Orleans Saints. In the 2013 and 2014 seasons Galette produced 22 sacks, and in 2014 he added a preposterous two safeties.

Then, as Redskins fans are well aware of, the injury bug hit. Galette hasn't played a snap in two seasons while rehabbing from Achilles injuries. In the time off, undoubtedly, he's earned some rust. Washington head coach Jay Gruden knows that.

Trying to balance the need for live football reps and carefully bringing a player back from two lost years due to injury can be tricky. The Redskins are mindful of that.

"He needs the work, and he knows he needs the work. He’s been out for two years so there is a fine line there but if does have soreness, the trainers will let me know and we’ll hold him out," Gruden said.

That hasn't been the case so far.

"Right now we haven’t had to. We’ve only been here a couple days, but if something happens where he’s a little sore then, yes, we will taper back on him."

Three days into camp and healthy is already a positive development for Galette. He hasn't made it that far in two seasons with the Burgundy and Gold.

On Saturday, when Washington held its first padded practice, there was a brief moment of concern for Galette. Facing off against Ty Nsekhe, Galette turned the corner and appeared to lose his footing. As he went down, Nsekhe went down too. Galette hit the ground, then the 6-foot-8, 325 lbs. Nsekhe landed right on top.

For a second, there was worry. The fall had a lot of force.

In a flash, Galette popped up. He and Nsekhe slapped five, and the Redskins biggest wild card jogged back over to the defensive huddle.

Any production this season from Galette will be applauded. To fight back, twice, from serious injury takes fortitude. For Galette, the rehab might be done, but there's plenty more work in front of him.
