We are full-on in the swing of the holiday season with Christmas just days away, so we come bearing the gift of a combo episode including our recap of the Commanders game AND our preview/predictions, plus LOCKS for the Monday Night Matchup in Green Bay. Given our respective holiday schedules, Max and Nick recorded remotely together and Corey jumps in separately at the end of this one and brings his very special seasonal set of Lock of the Week!TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!
We definitely have a tough one ahead this week as #ThatKidJayden leads the Commanders into the Dome to take on our Saints, led by that kid...Jake? Who knows, maybe young Jake can surprise us and do some things to keep it close or pull off an actual upset against the Commanders, but...our predictions don't exactly paint the same amount of hope. That said, we get into what we expect in this one and give our scores plus offensive and defensive MVP picks. PLUS, we bring you another week of Corey's LOCK! At least his lock this week is outcome-proof and factors in at least "some" optimism for our Saints come Sunday. TUNE IN to get our predictions and the LOCK of the week. WHO DAT?!
With Derek Carr’s latest injury possibly sidelining him for the majority (or all) of the Saints remaining games (depending on who’s reporting), we dive deep into how the team should handle it moving forward, BUT NOT…before Corey takes some time to RANT about what he think borders on the deranged; that is, the level to which Saints fans seem to “bitch” about and blame Carr, seemingly no matter what goes wrong for the Saints, or who’s really to blame (in his opinion).ALSO, who should we re-sign and who should we draft??We get into what our roster may be shaping up to looking like heading into the offseason, especially when factoring what unrestricted free agents should be brought back *and at what price??* and after figuring out who may be candidates for contract restructuring (besides the obvious Carr behemoth contract).This one is a definite must listen. Can’t claim to have solved any problems, but dammit we debated em! WHO DAT?!
A win's a win, right? The Saints went into New Jersey in a homecoming for their interim Head Coach and got the W. Of course, we definitely have some thoughts about the game overall, was it basically the same level of "energy" as the Rams game, just happening to come against a much lesser opponent? Also, what was going on with our O-Line, especially playing as our Week 1 starting unit for the first time since Week 3 - against a banged up NYG D-Line? Hard to agree on whether we had an offensive MVP, but we all agree on who the Defensive MVP was for the Saints. TUNE IN to get our thoughts on this one. WHO DAT?!
Our Saints take their talents up to Jersey this week to take on the Giants. Listen in to hear our predictions of how this clash of teams with SIX WINS between them will turn out! This has to be one we can get…right? We dive into that, PLUS! COREY’S LOCKS! He’s hungry for his first one as the 0-fer streak has continued. Is that DAWG gon eat?! Or keep searching? Listen in to find out. WHO DAT?!
Some losses are filled with enough terrible calls, huge negative impact plays, or a horrible singular mistake by one of our guys that gets us all up in arms, arguing, debating, and just generally pissed off. Well…this loss to the Rams brought none of that. In other words…there was zero Rizz. Of course, that was apparently a huge part of the gameplan on Sunday as it played out, ie play keep away from Stafford and McVeigh’s offense/play ball control and keep it boring. At least for a half, we succeeded greatly in that effort by shutting them out and holding them to less than half of our own time of possession, but…we ended up with only SIX points to show for it. In the end, we couldn’t bore them to death; and the Saints play on the field may have done just that to their own fans.So, in this ep, we ask: Is the Rizz now gone or is this just a slip up? Even if we get back to winning, Rizzz’s HC audition starts looking good again, does it even matter? We debate whether, in this HC search, the Saints must hire from outside the building no matter what? And if so, who fits that bill? Who out there that’s available would we be ok with? TUNE IN to hear our takes! WHO DAT?!VIDEO EP available on our YOUTUBE channel at https://youtube.com/@28to3podcast?si=79V_fhuBxzRBT3pEDONT FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE! ⚜️
Coming off the bye, can the Rizz use the rest to the Saints advantage and take the team to 3-0 since he's been the HC?? It's a tough matchup against the Ram's well-oiled offense of Stafford, plus Puca and Kupp plus Kyren Williams, but can the Saints keep the RizzMagic alive and pull out a W? We hand out our predictions, PLUS Corey rolls out his LOCKS! Can he FINALLY get one right? TUNE IN to find out! WHO DAT?!
Back in March of this year, we put our 28 to 3 Pod "patented" Game Show test to Saints QB1 Derek Carr to test where he ranks league-wide when given the choice between him and any other starting QB in the NFL. Given that the landscape has changed since then - via Derek Carr's performance this year, contract restructure, and some surprise QB play around the league - we decided to revisit where he stacks up TODAY vs. the rest of the NFL QB's, when given the game show treatment. We all landed at a different rank now than we did back in March, but did the results surprise? Will the results surprise most Saints fans? Obviously, Derek Carr is extremely polarizing to Saints fans, just as a topic, so this was an interesting test no matter what. TUNE IN!WATCH VIDEO EP ON YOUTUBE at youtube.com/28to3Podcast
THE RIZZ STRIKES AGAIN as our Saints make it TWO IN A ROW for the first time since we “won the Super Bowl” in week 2. While it was against a now 2-8 Browns, staying out of the L column after being there for 7 straight weeks feels great.We recap the game in this one of course, but as we go into the bye week, we also talk about the future of the squad as a whole. We unexpectedly dipped into a pretty lengthy draft strategy discussion given the current roster and questions at HC for 2025, and it definitely got interesting. Covered a TON of scenarios.Also, has the RIZZ already shown his head coaching is the difference between the DA Doldrums and this recent flirtation with the win column - OR - does the team look largely the same as its DA-coached self, just with some lucky breaks/insane amount of missed FG’s by opponents?We get into all that and more in this one. TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!
Famous Jameis Winston makes his return to the DOME this week as our SAINTS look to make it two wins in a row against the Cleveland Browns. Do we think they can pull it off? We're feeling pretty confident in this one but definitely bracing ourselves for things to go awry, just since that what this season has seem to be all about. PLUS, COREY'S LOCKS! Is this the week he actually hits on a lock?? We think this week's has a pretty decent shot.TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!
