Ep. 178 | COMBINE WEEK - We've got our EXPERT NFL scouting hats on and EVERY detail matters...

“Slow” week since our last ep in Saints free agency, but we go a little further in depth into last week’s signings and who/what positions we see as top needs remaining. Also, of course we hit a VERY worthwhile tangent and talk new JERSEY NUMBERS with all the signings/departures plus incoming draft picks (whoever it may be). Don’t get it twisted: Jersey numbers as a whole IS an important topic. At least in our book, so just go with it ok?!And, last but not least, the Cam saga drags on. The situation with AK remains unclear. So, what the hell is going on. Is it all just posturing from Cam or has the bridge been broken? Is AK done with football or is he looking to go somewhere else via trade? We dive head-first into all of that. TUNE IN!

Well, the Saints certainly wasted ZERO time getting to work during the "legal tampering" period of this year's Free Agency period, signing bona fide NFL starters and impact players at HUGE positions of need. We also managed some really solid "under the radar" signings. Of course, the good news comes with an absolute dagger to the Saints fans' collective heart in apparently deciding not to re-sign Demario. To say "He'll be missed" is a gigantic understatement. BUT, in the theme of wasting no time, we reunite with a former surprise standout LB the day after Demario's departure. Definitely a solid listen, and worth hearing who out of the three of us deserves the most credit for calling it close to dead on the money as to who we'd sign and how quickly we'd sign some standout FA's. Also, we dive into how these signings will affect our draft strategy at No. 8 overall.

The NFL offseason marches on as the combine is officially in the books and the Free Agent “Tampering” period is only days away. So, naturally we dive deep into what we thought the results from the combine. Did anyone raise their stock for us? Any new red flags that weren’t there before? And does anything we saw change our wish lists or #DraftCrush for pick No. 8? ALSO, big news (allegedly) coming out of Cam Jordan’s camp today, as it’s been stated he intends to hit the market as a FA and there WON’T be a new contract for him from the Saints before the league year officially begins. Will he or won’t he stay in N.O. Same question for Demario Davis. Much to discuss in this one. TUNE IN!

Without fail this week has snuck up on us once again. It is NFL COMBINE week aka every dude's favorite (and only?) week to deliberately turn on the TV to watch other dudes run around in their underwear (or so the story goes). But in all seriousness, we talk about some of the main guys we have our eye on this week and what results have surprised us already. We also debate the actual significance of the Combine as a whole. Does it really show us everything so many people claim it does or is it, nowadays, more of a pre-draft hype/PR exercise for guys looking to improve their stock? And, of course, we turn the discussion multiple times into a Saints draft strategy discussion as a whole. Solid ep as we venture further into the beginnings of the 2026 offseason. TUNE IN!

It’s one of our patented and BEST episode formats - one that puts a Saints player of our choosing through THE test of how he holds up, in terms of ranking at his position, versus the rest of his counterparts in the NFL. And, NOW, the man who has earned a shot to be put through this trial is none other than our brand new QB1, quickly emerging fan-favorite of Saints and NFL fans alike: TYLER SHOUGH! That’s right, we gettin’ Shough’d tonight or should we say “Game Shough’d” tonight 😏.Definitely some solid debate in this one and seriously interesting comparisons to guys who have been considered NFL “darlings” at QB or considered the “Next big thing…” But, as is often the case when you really dive into something things may not be what others have led you to believe. See how may other starting NFL QB1’s our guy edges out. Some may surprise. TUNE IN!

As we embark on a new Saints season, we are embarking on a new journey ourselves. Your favorite Saints Podcast now has a NEW name: the Saintsaholics Anonymous Podcast. Fret not, for we will still take every opportunity to reference 28 to 3 and all possible ways the falcons suck, but for reasons stated in this episode, we're going in a new direction with the name and the brand. It's one that every true die-hard Saints fan can absolutely resonate with.PLUS, besides introducing the world to our new name/brand refresh, we get into some actual football talk with our initial offseason outlook for the Saints. Who and/or what positions do we want to see the team prioritize in free agency as well as the draft. Some solid discussion at this early pre-Mardi Gras juncture of the off-season. TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!

Enjoy this Part TWO of our Review of the Preview - This is definitely the more entertaining one, with our Season-long HOT TAKES, Fearless Predictions, and Corey's SEASON-LONG LOCK, which he was shockingly spot-on about, but "almost"? TUNE IN for one of our most enjoyable eps of the year. WHO DAT?!

It's one of our favorite episodes of the year, our SEASON RECAP and our "Review of the Preview". This is PART ONE of a two part series, in which we look back on what we had to say about the offense and defense BEFORE the season - in our Season Preview Ep - and now, give our takes on how close or how far off we were after the dust has settled on the year. Definitely a worthwhile watch and listen, as naturally, some of our takes were spot on while others were...not so much. TUNE IN and enjoy this Part One of our Season Recap/Review of the Preview. #28to3 #28to3Podcast #NeverForget #NewOrleans #NewOrleansSaints #NFL #NOLA #Saints #SaintsGameday #WhoDat #WhoDatNation

In this one, we briefly recap our Saints last game of the year. Hardest thing about it was we know Shough wanted to get at least one against the falcons this year, especially in a game that we really did some good things, and bested the other team in a lot of key statistical categories. BUT...this last game simply closed one chapter so an even greater one can begin! Now that the dust has settled on 2025, we know that we will go into the offseason armed with the EIGTH pick in the draft and have a much easier strength of schedule to look forward to than all but one other team in the league. Optimism abounds, so we briefly get into some of that (besides sumbullshit in atlanta...). BUT, our big "Season Recap" episode isn't dropping just yet, so consider this one a precursor to what should be an epic "season finale" episode. Until then, this one will hold you over just fine.
