Re: Steve Spagnuolo Reviews Defensive Performance Against Chargers
Did you notice who was playing? We had 4 DE's in the game. Smith and Jordan inside with Gallete and Wilson on the outside. That is a great lineup for passing downs, not sure on running downs though.

i somewhat suspect that they could do no worse against the run than our "run squad" |

Re: Steve Spagnuolo Reviews Defensive Performance Against Chargers
Funny. "pressure" and "run" would not be what I'd use to characterize those defenses.

Chargers o line wasn't worse than packers and the only difference is, we played Wilson and galette more versus the chargers |

I'd say that overall the Saints' front 4 were able to create more push consistently against the Chargers than the Packers. The one big difference between those two performances were the O-lines they were facing, hence my conclusion that the Chargers' O-line was one of the reasons why the Saints' front 4 were able to have a better game this past Sunday. I'm not saying that the Chargers' O-line played badly or that they are better or worse than the Packers' O-line - I'm simply saying that for whatever reason the Saints' front 4 were able to create better match-ups against the Chargers' O-line than they were against the Packers' O-line. |
