SportsTalk w/ Deuce & Steve Geller featuring Bobby Hebert

On today's show, Mike discusses the first Saints injury report as the Saints look pretty darn healthy with all starters participating in practice today. Glen West, senior writer for Geaux247.com, drops by to recap the latest on John Emery Jr. tearing his left ACL in practice yesterday, who will be the next man up for the Tigers, and the biggest takeaways from Sunday's loss against USC. Also, Jake Delhomme, former NFL QB and Panthers radio color analyst, joins Mike to preview the growth by Bryce Young this year, where the expectations should be for this Carolina team coming off a league-worst 2-15, and our famous Triple Option segment with Steve and Cullen diving into Saints injury report, Saints season-opening win streak, and Zy Alexander bouncing back. After that, Steve is joined by host of the Hub of Champions podcast on the BLEAV network, Shukri Wrights, to preview the biggest storylines heading into the 2024 NFL season, and closes out the final hour hearing from Derek Carr on his confidence in this new offense and Jeff Nowak, Saints sideline reporter and WWL digital content producer, on what he is expecting from Chase Young come Sunday in his "prove it" situation.

Steve hears the last of the Dennis Allen audio with regards to the Saints starting squad, feeling like this new offense is a "Christmas gift" with the 1st game coming up, before hearing from Derek Carr on how the offense is feeling in their new look under Klint Kubiak, and Jeff Nowak, Saints sideline reporter and WWL digital content producer, joins Steve to break down Panthers and their chase to enter the race to the title in a fairly contested NFC South, Cam Jordan's return to dominance with starting the season in great health, and if Chase Young can be the difference we think he can be come game time Sunday before closing out the show talking about fantasy football a bit.

Jeff Nowak, Saints sideline reporter and WWL digital content producer, joins Steve to break down Derek Carr's single postgame experience and why it shouldn't really be held against him, the changes that the Panthers have made and whether or not those changes could be a serious difference maker, Cam Jordan's return to supremacy as he faces a series of injuries late into the season but is health and ready to roll for regular season action, and how anxious we are to see the Chase Young we saw so many glimpses of during camp and preseason action.

Steve hears more from Saints head coach Dennis Allen on the Saints treating their first game on Sunday like Christmas, and Saints QB Derek Carr on the confidence and excitement coming from the offense installing and executing this new Kubiak-style offense. 

In the 3rd hour, Steve hears from a WWL listener about the latest on Saints/Panthers ticket prices as the game it seems it may not be a packed house come Sunday. Later on Shukri Wrights, from the Hub of Champions podcast on the BLEAV network, joins Steve to preview the NFL just a day away with the season opener between the Ravens and Chiefs tomorrow night, what the national view of the NFC South is as the Falcons have been handed the division title but the Saints and Bucs look to contest that, and the latest on if we should believe the hype regarding the Bears. Finally, we hear from Dennis Allen on those offensive changes that the Panthers have done to upgrade from the 2-15 squad that put up only 236 total points, and where the bar is set for this Saints team.

Steve hears from Dennis Allen on the changes the Panthers have made this offseason as they look to climb out of their 2-15 hole, how DA is feeling about his defensive scheme, and if he's noticed an evolution in how he calls the defense, and how he would describe a Dennis Allen-led defense.

Host of the Hub of Champions podcast on the BLEAV network, Shukir Wrights, joins Steve to go over who could run away with the wide-open NFC South, if the Chicago Bears have actually made enough changes to warrant being considered a playoff contender, the pressure mounting for the Eagles coming off a disastrous stretch in the 2nd half of the year losing 5 of their last 6 and the situation that the NFL has put the teams in playing their season-opening in Sao Paulo against the Packers.

This hour, Mike tells a WWL listener about what we should expect from the Panthers' defensive line against our still questionable Saints O-line before having Jake Delhomme, former NFL QB and Panthers radio network analyst, joins Mike to preview what progress we should expect for 2nd year QB Bryce Young as he looks to improve on a fairly lackluster year, what the new coaching staff is building towards as this year the bar is set low but the hope is that they can still clear it, and how are the Panthers changes during the offseason with regards to secondary pickups and O-line additions, and we close the hour with our Triple Option segment where we dove into the Saints first injury report of the year, the Saints win streak for season openers, and Zy Alexander coming back to the Tigers at the right time.

Mike, Steve, and Cullen give their takes on the top news stories of the day!

Louisiana Native and former NFL QB now Panthers radio network analyst, Jake Delhomme, joins Mike to discuss his time in NFL Europe, how Bryce Young is doing heading into his 2nd year, where the expectations lie for this team as they look to build for the future, but it is a production league so how will the Panthers be able to produce against the Saints with a potential Top-10 pass rush, even with such an easy schedule in store for them.
