Steve and Cullen look back at the Saints preseason action as the 3rd game was a lot more exciting than the first 2 as real football is just around the corner, getting excited about the Saints team getting much much younger while still keeping veteran talent and hopefully righting the ship with regards to former Saints Draft classes. 

This hour, Steve and Cullen dive deep into some of the Saints audio from the day as the Saints announce their practice squad signings, a trade and waiver wire pickup, what Dennis Allen said about the new and familiar faces, if Rashid Shaheed will be able to thrive in the new offense as he returns, what the Saints RB room looks like as Kendre Miller has been designated IR to return come Week 5 versus the Chiefs and where he might be on that depth chart by then.

Mike and Cullen dive into the Saints practice squad signings and latest developments on the Saints roster, before having Saints radio color analyst, Deuce McAllister join us to talk about if the Saints' current roster will look any different come next week, and beyond, who we need to see show up from this practice squad, whether or not we should have a QB named the backup between Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener, and how the Saints are betting on a rookie punter showing how this team will look drastically younger than previous years. 

Deuce McAllister, the Saints radio color analyst, joins the guys to recap the 2nd day of cuts and practice squad signings as the Saints brought back a lot of familiar names traded for a DT, and picked up an RB who can kick return from the wire, but don't get too comfortable as this roster will remain "fluid", who are the new names that might be able to stick around, and how the Saints are putting their cards in another rookie punter's hands.
