“I don’t believe what I just saw!” You’d have gotten one on us had you told us before Thursday night that the best way to describe the outcome of the Saints 2024 NFL Draft might just be those iconic and immortal words of the Late, Great sportscaster, Jack Buck, shouted into his mic as Kirk Gibson limped around the bases to cap off his pinch-hit, game-winning home run for the LA Dodgers in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. No, this year’s draft wasn’t the World Series…but you could definitely...

We are officially on the EVE of the 2024 NFL Draft, and in (probably) less than 24 hours from you listening to this your New Orleans Saints will be on the clock. Max and Corey ring in this Draft Eve special with Nick siitting this one out due to some "personal"/probably very "high-level" obligations. Offensive line is the big topic, and virtually every mock draft out there right now has us taking an O-lineman at 14, but is that what WE think will actually happen? We provide our last...

This was a fantastic episode, some wouid say "a banger", as Dan and Mike of The Saints, the City, and Me Podcast, (plus cameo by Steve/@WhoDatinTheUK) join the pod - in person/in studio - to round out their French Quarter Fest trip from England to New Orleans. [On Twitter - Dan: @Procrastinatus; Mike: @MKCPapa]We'd talked about doing an in-person recording with Dan and Mike for a long time, so it was truly our honor to host them and get this one in the books! Not to mention, DON'T MISS the...

We recorded this episode at an earlier date, but the news breaking around the time remains the primary topics of discussion as the Saints head into the 2024 NFL Draft and look to shore up their roster (maybe via Free Agency?) beforehand. Does the Ramczyk injury news/knee prognosis mean the Saints "MUST" draft an offensive tackle at pick 14 - OR - are they still in a position to go get an impact offensive skill guy/BPA (if BPA isn't an OL)? We found out the procedure Chase Young will be...

Of course it's no coincidence we launched this podcast on 3/28, and we did so exactly one year ago today. So, to celebrate our one year mark, we've put together a highlight reel of select moments from certain episode and highlights from every guest we've had on the pod in year one, including - in order of appearance: Roman Harper (Saints Hall of Fame Member)Garland Gillen of Fox 8 SportsRalph Malbrough of the Saints Happy Hour PodcastAdam and Ryan of the Saints Block Party Podcast; andJono...

We take a break from our usual Saints news and banter to talk about an important charitable cause all three of us are involved in, that is: Hogs for the Cause and our Hogs team: "Deadpork" (Ryan Reynolds has not yet technically approved our appropriation of his movie title, but it's for a good cause, right?!). For those who may not know, Hogs for the Cause, now in its sixteenth year, raises millions of dollars annually to assist families and their children fighting pediatric brain cancer,...

We've done this exercise before, for Chris Olave. The exercise, now known as: The 28 to 3 Pod "Game Show" has proven to be one of our favorite, and maybe most effective, ways of determining exactly where a player ranks league-wide, despite our biased feelings (rightfully so) as Saints fans who may have trouble separating our positive (or negative) feelings from any given hometown player. So, we put Derek Carr through the game show process. In his case, it obviously seems like the majority...

The Saints are now a full week into the Free Agency signing period (a little more counting the "legal tampering" period). We recap the team's moves, especially the big Chase Young signing - and, as of the day we recorded this, the big Chase Young injury news (aka the most "Saints" thing ever). Obviously, before the Chase Young signing, the moves were pretty small ones, at best, especially compared to some of the big splashes our rivals had made. But, do we like this apparent sign of financial...

It's one of the biggest questions asked every year in the lead up to the NFL Draft: What are the chances our team will land its next franchise QB if it trades significant draft capital to move up and draft one of the top 3 QB's in the draft? After this episode (and thanks to some impressive analysis by our resident-stat/numbers guru, Nick), we have your answer. It may be what you're thinking, but the actual chance of such a move solidifying your QB of the future may surprise you. Applying...

With the NFL Free Agency legal tampering/signing period beginning, Nick, Max, and Corey discuss potential free agent targets for the Saints, preview the free agent signing period as a whole, and offer some predictions on who they think the Saints will look to bring in. The guys also offer their thoughts on the Lattimore trade rumors and how that could potentially affect the Saints free agent moves. What are the biggest needs to fill in free agency and who’s the highest on our wish lists. Some...

NFL Draft conversation is in full swing, and who the Saints might pick - or should pick - at No. 14 is on the mind of the Who Dat Nation. With the NFL Combine having just wrapped up in Indy, Max, Nick, and Corey get into who they thought stood out and whose performance at the Combine should cause the Saints to pay closer attention to them. We also get into the idea of the Combine as a whole. We love it as fans, especially when there isn't a whole lot else going on in the football world;...

On this "Part 2" of what turned into a marathon episode about the Klint Kubiak hire and Saints offensive revamp, we continue the discussion of what draft prospects could help the Saints fill some of those "signature" or typical offensive positions we've seen highly utilized by the "Shanahan Offenses", i.e. the types of players that Klint Kubiak would like to have at his disposal when calling plays. Our conversation also shifts into a pretty in depth discussion about the Saints defensive...

The Saints finally made it "official official" and have hired our MUCH needed new OC in Klint Kubiak, and he's bringing his own cavalry with him. Max and Corey talked last episode about the potential, in a very general sense, of bringing Kubiak on board when it was mostly still rumored that he was the guy (pre-Super Bowl); but in this episode we dive deep into specifics on how Kubiak - and the new offensive staff he's bringing in - can hopefully bring about a significant improvement in the...

Damn it feels good to have some POSITIVE Saints news to talk about. After numerous OC interviews, anxiety about how long things were taking, and doubts/concerns that the process was all a front to bring in Jon Chucky Gruden, it appears that the Saints got their guy as the new Offensive Coordinator in Klint Kubiak. Of course, we agree that we don’t trust anything until we see the news made official, which by rule can’t come until after the Super Bowl. But, with the expectation that he’s in,...

Here it is, the Official 28 to 3 Podcast 2023 Saints Season Recap Episode. We look back on the season that was, in detail, position-by-position - PLUS - and most importantly - we review our OWN 2023 Season Predictions, which we laid out in our Season Preview Pod, Episode 23. In this one, we treat yall to a mash-up of clips of our bad takes, our good takes, and we end the episode by leaving you with our #FearlessPredictions, which in hind sight were...well, we'll let you be the judge. This...

Before we post our official Season Recap Episode, we thought we’d dive into what turned out to be a busy news week for the Saints. We give our thoughts on the firing of Pete Carmichael. We also talk about that gum smacking-what the hell was he on? WTF Loomis press conference. We wrap it up with our thoughts on the Saints OC search. Can we actually get the right guy? LISTEN IN! WHO DAT?!

The Saints 2023 Season has finally come to a close, so this is "technically" our RECAP episode of the last game of the year, a complete drubbing of the Falcons. Thank god we drug them in the end. BUT, just like the Saints waited til the final play to add some excitement by overriding DA in rogue fashion, we tackle so much more than a simple recap episode on the last play, at the goalline, so to speak. Yes, we get way into "the play" in which the team overrode DA to get Jamaal his TD; but...

With one game remaining in the regular season, Nick and Max decide to tackle a few controversial questions surrounding the Saints. Is Derek Carr overpaid? Is Chris Olave elite? How would we attack the Saints' impending salary cap crisis? We break it all down for you in this special bonus episode. WHO DAT?!

It's officially Falcons Hate Week again. With a little luck (go Panthers), this one could be for all of the NFC South marbles. Can the Saints keep their positive momentum going? Can Dennis Allen finish the season with a winning record? Can Max get on TV wearing the official 28 to 3 Podcast "Fire Dennis Allen" t-shirt? We get into that and a whole lot more. WHO DAT?!

Just when we thought we were out, the Saints pull us back in. Our Playoff hopes are still alive after this (completely random) dominating performance. We discuss how good this performance was and what it means going forward. With the #FireDennisAllen movement on life support (for now), we decide to make the best of a bad situation and turn our attention to #FalconsHateWeek. Who Dat?!

With our Playoff hopes essentially dashed, will the team continue to fight? Is the end near for the Dennis Allen Era? We break down the longterm ramifications of what this game means for the Saints. The 2023 Saints may be dead in the water but this podcast is justing getting started. LISTEN IN as we continue to "chop wood" and discuss the Saints prospects moving forward. #FireDennisAllen

Well, we had everything in front of us heading into LA vs. the Rams, and...our Saints simply failed to get it done. Now? Yes, as expected, we do NOT control our own destiny. Unfortunately, there is next to nothing good to cover from this last shitkicking our team took on account of LA. Rather, we get into just how bad it was, and what this means for the team going forward. It's the holiday season...and we have nothing holiday to show for it, other than the fact that we DON'T have to watch...

Can the Saints actually do something that's seemed impossible so far this year and string together TWO strong performances? We all agree the Saints will need one, heading across the country to L.A. on a short week for their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Rams. We breakdown the matchup of the Rams passing offense vs. Saints secondary, which we agree seems to be a "strength vs. strength" matchup. Also, what can we expect out of the Saints offense vs. the Ram's D? Is that more of a...

Just like we all "expected", the Saints showed out on Sunday with a decisive victory over the New York Football Giants, who came in riding the Tommy Cutlets Devito wave of momentum. For the first time in what seems like a season ago, the Saints played complimentary football, and we get into the plays, and players, of the game that made it happen. Who do we think showed out the most on both offense and defense for the Black & Gold? PLUS - looking big picture - what does this win, at this...
