It has been 3 days since the New Orleans Saints demolished the Dallas Cowboys at Jerry World, and while the team has long begun preparing for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3, Who Dats are still smiling and thinking about the recent past.
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that! As a treat, host Jim Derry brings in “The Voice of the New Orleans Saints, Mike Hoss for Wednesday’s (Ep. 280) , for his take on why this shocking start has made those around the NFL nation to take notice. Is it Klint Kubiak? Derek Carr? Alvin Kamara? The O-Line? The defense? Well, yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. But why?
Mike also talks about working with Saints legend Deuce McAllister, and whether it’s OK to dare dream about (gulp) a run to the Super Bowl, which will be played in New Orleans at the end of this season. Jim also has some thoughts on LSU-UCLA, Tulane-ULL and the new Pelicans TV deal, as well as “Wednesdays with Gabe Henderson” on Tulane’s potential move to the Pac-12 or Pac-8 or whatever they are.
