Back in the days when Deuce McAllister was the engine running the Saints offense, Hokie Gajan used to turn to Bobby Hebert on every third down with the same suggestion.
Didn’t matter how many yards the Saints needed. Didn’t matter what kind of game McAllister was having. Gajan always wanted the same play called.
“Just give it to Deuce.”
McAllister now finds himself taking a handoff from Gajan in the Saints’ radio booth. WWL announced Wednesday that the New Orleans legend will permanently join Jim Henderson in the broadcast booth this season, replacing Gajan as the Saints’ color analyst.
