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.

The commentator did make a comment that the "pressure" squad was in. Made me watch a little closer.

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

Funny. "pressure" and "run" would not be what I'd use to characterize those defenses.

Ah! But you classify whats on the field when our offense is not on the field a "defense"...

Interesting... Tell me more about your travels.

Yeah, but last week that particular front 4 line-up wasn't able to create any pass rush to speak of, so maybe it was more about the Chargers' O-line underperforming as opposed to just the Saints' front 4 - especially the LT, Gather.

The packers had the worst o line in the league and we didn't get to Rodgers all day, didn't even get a sack
Chargers o line wasn't worse than packers and the only difference is, we played Wilson and galette more versus the chargers

Still, that doesn't negate the fact that this same "pass rush" front 4 wasn't able to create any pass rush against the Packers, even though they were give enough snaps to do so.

Wilson's sack/fumble/recovery was all on Jared Gaither, who was at that point suffering from an injury, which Wilson took full advantage of - for which you must give him credit for... but still...

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.
