SportsTalk w/ Deuce & Steve Geller featuring Bobby Hebert

Football is finally here as the Saints wrap up their first day of padded training camp out in Cali, Mike and Bobby dive into what we need from Payton Turner, Mason Tipton might be a dark horse candidate for THE breakout player this camp, before Saints radio color analyst, Deuce McAllister joins the guys to recap the first day of padded practice, how some of the rookies and newer faces looked out there such as Nick Saldiveri and Kool-Aid McKinstry, if the Saints strong defensive output last year carry over into this year with even better weapons, and if a new linebacker setup could be the fix for the Saints mobile QB kryptonite?

Day 1 of padded practice out in Irvine is done and finished and none other than Deuce McAllister, Saints radio color analyst, to discuss if Jordan Mims will fit well into Kubiak's rushing scheme with Kendre Miller's absence, how Kool-Aid McKinstry has looked in the first day with pads, giving Nick Saldiveri as many reps as possible and finding continuity in, if the Saints are using a more 3 linebacker core on their defensive front, and if the defensive will be as consistent as they were last year with even more weapons?
