Summary

HOUR DEUX! (00:15) Los Angeles Chargers Star running back Austin Ekeler joins GoJo and Golic! The "touchdown machine" starts by discussing his journey from undrafted to getting reps during his rookie season and what advice he gives to NFL Rookies who want to make the team regardless of their spot on the depth chart. (02:22) Austin shares with us how his preparation has changed going into his 7th season in the NFL and (06:35) if the big money deal Justin Herbert signed in July has gone to the QB's head. GoJo and Golic ask Austin his thoughts on the issues surrounding the NFL’s running back compensation and where he sees the position in the future. (17:40) Austin ends his time with us discussing his fascination with Fantasy Football and why Fantasy Footballers should draft him on Christian McCaffrey. (23:30) After recapping their conversation with Austin Ekeler, GoJo, and Golic look back at college football and decide what feels the most sustainable from the Week 1 slate. (30:30) Proud Alum Jessie Coffield has to answer for her Boston College Eagles after they spend a big bag to get beat by NIU over the weekend before talking to the Golics about Heisman Odds. (35:45) Pro Football Hall of Famer and Seattle Seahawks Legend Walter Jones joins the show to talk about the initiative he started with the NFL called "96 Check" where every September 6th, to pay homage to his former teammate Cortez Kennedy, he calls for former players to call and check up on a former teammate. (38:08) Walter also speaks on his Seahawks this season and what he expects from QB Geno Smith.
