The one-on-one conversation last week between New Orleans Saints defensive end Junior Galette and a local reporter had shifted to another topic, but Galette was in no mood to move on.

It had pained him to talk about the perceived deficiencies with the Saints' pass rush. Yet when it was time to discus more promising issues, a frustrated Galette called an audible.

Pass rush was the only thing on his mind.

He insisted that would be the last time the reporter would need to question him about the Saints' inability to pressure opposing quarterbacks.

A week later, no one is ready to say Galette was prophetic. But for a week, anyway, he was right.

After taking much of the heat for the lack of pass rush, the Saints' defensive line turned in its best performance of the season in Sunday's 31-24 victory over San Diego, producing four of the Saints' season-high five sacks.
