Speaker 1: KI here us I can hear you. What's going on? Boys? Well?
Speaker 1: I doing doing great when I started. Thank you for
Speaker 1: joining this Austen. And we first inforced. We were just
Speaker 1: talking about your numbers, the numbers you put together and
Speaker 1: a team win. And it was beautiful that you guys
Speaker 1: handed the game ball to the offensive line again. You
Speaker 1: established yourselves that that gotta make on pop us football,
Speaker 1: meet and potatoes, let's run the football down there thrown
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what you did and you had a
Speaker 1: career best one seventy three. Talk to us about just
Speaker 1: that process, Austin. Feeling good after that win. It was
Speaker 1: a hard fought game in Cleveland, but coming out with
Speaker 1: a w and despite all those weird midges on those
Speaker 1: bugs or whatever, you came out with that win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know the NFL, that's what's so great about it.
Speaker 1: As every game is usually hard fought. It's it's not
Speaker 1: easy to win in the NFL. And even if you
Speaker 1: do win in the NFL, it's usually still a pretty
Speaker 1: hard fought game, and you know, every single week we're
Speaker 1: trying to be the best we can and be the
Speaker 1: most consistent. That's when it really comes down too, because
Speaker 1: the margins of having a successful play and an unsuccessful
Speaker 1: play in the NFL are very tiny. You know. It's
Speaker 1: it's one person not taking the right step, or maybe
Speaker 1: getting beat across their face, or maybe you know, didn't
Speaker 1: you know step it's hard, or maybe got you know, overpowered.
Speaker 1: There's all these little factors that can you know, accumulate
Speaker 1: to have you have a good or a bad day,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's how consistent can we stay? And
Speaker 1: I feel like these past two games we've been getting
Speaker 1: more consistent. I think a part of that's been we've
Speaker 1: gotten a couple of games under our belt and so
Speaker 1: we're starting getting a rhythm of in the offense. You know.
Speaker 1: You know, Austin, well, thank you, thank you so much
Speaker 1: first of all for being with us on a Thursday,
Speaker 1: because I know this is a sort of an easier
Speaker 1: day for you in terms of practice, and you are
Speaker 1: with us, and it really means a lot. Austin. I
Speaker 1: want to pick your brain on something that you said
Speaker 1: on Monday, because I was there in that press conference
Speaker 1: after the game and he took my attention and I'll
Speaker 1: explain you why you mentioned the Buffalo Bills and how
Speaker 1: that team is on a roll right now offense and defense.
Speaker 1: And it made me think that there are other leagues
Speaker 1: and I mentioned this Wadrian some moments ago, where you
Speaker 1: have kind of time to find that role other sports. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the NBA eighty two games a year. You have the
Speaker 1: baseball season one hundred and sixty games a year. Football
Speaker 1: it's not like that, man, I mean you have sixteen
Speaker 1: before seventeen now, so that window of when do I
Speaker 1: get to my pick it is not as big as
Speaker 1: in other sports. And people think be careful when you
Speaker 1: get to your pick, be careful. But for the professional athlete,
Speaker 1: how do you see that? Wow? That's a great point, though,
Speaker 1: very great point, you know, because as a team and
Speaker 1: as an individual, you're really trying to establish your identity.
Speaker 1: You're just trying to establish some type of role that
Speaker 1: you have on the team. And the window even though
Speaker 1: we still have like a five month season, six if
Speaker 1: you make it to the to the Super Bowl, but
Speaker 1: the window is still small as far as the opportunities
Speaker 1: that you get because we don't play that many games, right,
Speaker 1: we play one every single week, And so that's how
Speaker 1: important practice is for us and for us really you're
Speaker 1: trying to identify yourself but also trying to take care
Speaker 1: of each other at practice, right, and continuing to build
Speaker 1: each other up but also at the same time hold
Speaker 1: each other accountable and keep each other safe. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's something that you wish you could practice more
Speaker 1: and play more so that you could be more consistent,
Speaker 1: but then that also in turn would account for more injuries, right,
Speaker 1: And so yeah, we are put into a situation where
Speaker 1: it is time to go and guess what you have
Speaker 1: to learn, you have to learn really quick. And so
Speaker 1: that's why the offseason is sort important for us to
Speaker 1: try to come in and shape and ready to go.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's there's not a lot of time for
Speaker 1: you to you know, mess around and lose a bunch
Speaker 1: of games in the season and be like, Okay, now
Speaker 1: we're starting to get into a rhythm. Usually it's too
Speaker 1: late by then, Yeah, and you're finding your identity and
Speaker 1: that's what that's what we love, is that, especially in
Speaker 1: this week you guys showed that you can win the
Speaker 1: football game without having to have justin through for three
Speaker 1: hundred yards and drop three or four touchdowns. That just
Speaker 1: you you know what, Let's let's get to work ground
Speaker 1: game and let that offensive line. They've done marvelous by
Speaker 1: the way, and Jamari saw her. I mean, talk to
Speaker 1: us a little bit about the guys that have had
Speaker 1: to step up Austin. Yeah, it's a very important part
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Very important because the NFL is one
Speaker 1: of the most violent games that we play, and so
Speaker 1: we know there's going to be injuries, right, that's a
Speaker 1: part of the NFL. You are going to have some
Speaker 1: type of thing you go to the training room for,
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, major or minor. And so what
Speaker 1: does that mean? That means you better have some depth
Speaker 1: at you know, you're at your positions because if you don't,
Speaker 1: you're going to get exposed really quick. And you know,
Speaker 1: you never know who's going to be when it's going
Speaker 1: to happen, and unfortunately happened a little bit earlier for
Speaker 1: some of our guys U And yeah, and you know
Speaker 1: Sean Slater towards bicep, you know he's recovering from that,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to have him back before the end of
Speaker 1: the season. But right now, okay, someone else has got
Speaker 1: to step up, and we put Jamari. He's a rookie
Speaker 1: that we drafted this year and so he had some
Speaker 1: expectations and now he's getting opportunity and he's been doing
Speaker 1: well with his opportunity. I think we've seen a couple
Speaker 1: of other guys to start stepping up. I know, Joshua Kelly, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the guy behind me has been stepping up
Speaker 1: as well. So that's what's gonna take. It's gonna take
Speaker 1: for you to continue to have success down the road
Speaker 1: because look, you try to stay as healthy as you can,
Speaker 1: but you know it's not gonna happen. So you gotta
Speaker 1: have other playmakers that are continuing to step because if
Speaker 1: you don't guess what you're gonna be searching for that
Speaker 1: next year, you know, you maybe try next year. And
Speaker 1: so luckily we're not in a situation where we're like that.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of depth. You know, Keenan Allen's
Speaker 1: out for us right now, so our receivers right so
Speaker 1: we've seen the big games out of Mike Williams um
Speaker 1: and we've expected that, but even more so. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: doing it even more now. So it's been great to
Speaker 1: see guys step up. Absolutely, Austin, you you kind of
Speaker 1: know you're you're gonna give the best version of the
Speaker 1: of the Broncos this this Monday night. Yeah, like, because
Speaker 1: it always happens when a team is you know, their bag.
Speaker 1: Look how you responded after Jacksonville, you know, with two
Speaker 1: wins on the road, which is so hard to do
Speaker 1: in the NFL, to win alone, to win two in
Speaker 1: a row as a visiting team, I mean, it speaks
Speaker 1: for itself. But you know what you're gonna get them Monday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's just the way it's. That's the NFL.
Speaker 1: That's the NFL. And you know, especially when someone's because
Speaker 1: now they're right, when the team feels like okay, like desperation,
Speaker 1: like they lost a game that they feel like they
Speaker 1: should have won, you know, it's like, okay, now this
Speaker 1: next game, it's a statement game, get back on track game,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of as as you see it. So
Speaker 1: they're looking to get back on track. We're looking to
Speaker 1: stay on track. Um, and so yeah, I'm looking for
Speaker 1: an ultra competitive game Monday night, prime time. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be It's gonna be a good one. Now, let's let's
Speaker 1: let's talk. We were talking about the team identity. We
Speaker 1: want to get to know Austin Ekeler a little bit
Speaker 1: more twe than that. Austin, And just ask you a
Speaker 1: couple of you know, being from Colorado, did you grow
Speaker 1: up a Bronco fan? By by any chance? I did
Speaker 1: not grow up watching any sports. Oh okay, tell us
Speaker 1: about that, tell us about that fitness. So look, I
Speaker 1: played a ton of sports, but I just played. I
Speaker 1: never really got into watching professional sport that I probably
Speaker 1: watched most growing up, um was professional bull riding. Whoa
Speaker 1: if you know, if you know anything about professional the
Speaker 1: PVR where that's as tough as they come with when
Speaker 1: it comes to sports. That's badass, right, So that is
Speaker 1: the all thing he's made for it. Man, have you
Speaker 1: gone up on a bull? Yeah? I've written three bulls
Speaker 1: in my life. So that is the environment I grew up.
Speaker 1: I grew up out in the country. Um, so I
Speaker 1: was big into yeah, everything when it comes to you know,
Speaker 1: team roping, bull riding out there you know the cold
Speaker 1: Yeah from me, favorite favorite books, favorite book. If you
Speaker 1: if you give me three Okay, no, because it's the
Speaker 1: same favorite movie, not read or watch movies. M yeah,
Speaker 1: So I can't give you a favorite book, all right?
Speaker 1: So the so books usually inspire us. What inspires you? Like?
Speaker 1: Is there something that motivates you? Get you fired up? Mm? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So like this is like the same question for me,
Speaker 1: Like who do I look up to? It's not necessarily
Speaker 1: like a person, it's more so of a concept. What
Speaker 1: gets me fired up is having some internal feeling that
Speaker 1: I'm progressing towards things in my life right, not necessarily
Speaker 1: like a specific like goal or anything, but more so
Speaker 1: a feeling of upward trajectory and growth and value of
Speaker 1: my life. Whether that's through my connections, whether that's through
Speaker 1: my knowledge, my education, my team as far as people
Speaker 1: outside of the field, and then obviously my current team
Speaker 1: with the Chargers. But what gets me excited is that
Speaker 1: that relentless pursuit of growth. Nice wow, Um, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put my my James slipped on hat here, like from
Speaker 1: the actor's studio. Easy asking questions, But I want to
Speaker 1: know these What annoys you? What what makes you like?
Speaker 1: I can it stand get kind of thing? What annoys me?
Speaker 1: I would say, hmm, the victim mindset of people. When
Speaker 1: people when people have a victim mindset where like it
Speaker 1: doesn't like annoy me, but it's just like it makes
Speaker 1: me like deterred to be want to be around you ship.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like when you think like, oh, this
Speaker 1: didn't happen because you know I wasn't the favorite, or
Speaker 1: because when it's like when you're talking about things that
Speaker 1: you can control and thinking that that's not your fault,
Speaker 1: that really deters me away from people that that was
Speaker 1: something that annoys me. And if people don't do the dishes, Hello,
Speaker 1: my mom, my wife, they would all love you, man,
Speaker 1: because we've all been getting My mom used to throw
Speaker 1: that chunk. Mexican moms like ask Mikey Davis. He talked,
Speaker 1: we talking about the chunk we did all Mexican moms. No,
Speaker 1: you don't do the dishes. You're gonna hear a helicopter
Speaker 1: sound in the house and it's a flying chunks like
Speaker 1: coming at you for not doing That's interesting, man. Now
Speaker 1: we're going towards Halloween, Austin and and and this one.
Speaker 1: I just just had a curiosity. Since we're talking about Halloween,
Speaker 1: is there anything that you're afraid of anything that scares you,
Speaker 1: maybe even in some crappy scary movie the exercises or
Speaker 1: and what's the stupidest costume You've ever worn for Halloween?
Speaker 1: What scares me? Um Man? Probably a lot of things,
Speaker 1: but I don't know because I don't put myself in
Speaker 1: those situations, like going to scary houses, like that's not
Speaker 1: for me, Like why am I gonna go to a
Speaker 1: place where I know I'm gonna be, you know, feeling
Speaker 1: uneasy about myself And it's just a lot of weird
Speaker 1: stuff going on that I don't want to be around.
Speaker 1: So I would say Halloween is definitely something it does.
Speaker 1: It does well for me in the scary department. Um
Speaker 1: And then the stupidest costume I've ever worn? Um one
Speaker 1: time in college, I didn't have anything where I didn't
Speaker 1: put effort into it. So I just put a suit
Speaker 1: on and wore some black glasses and I was man
Speaker 1: in black. I look back at that, I'm like, what
Speaker 1: was I doing? It does not let get it? It
Speaker 1: does not like good. That's great. Austin, When when did
Speaker 1: you When did you realize that there is life after football?
Speaker 1: And I ask you this because you're You're a lot
Speaker 1: more than a football player. There is a business side
Speaker 1: uh in within you that you have exploited a lot,
Speaker 1: and I think it's so great, And he set such
Speaker 1: a phenomenal example for professional athletes. Did you understand that
Speaker 1: as soon as you get into the league. Before you
Speaker 1: get into the league, when did it click? So I
Speaker 1: think I think you know, my understanding that there's life
Speaker 1: after football really clicked when I started to understand that
Speaker 1: my fulfillment, my fulfillment in life was in pursuing a
Speaker 1: better version of myself. Um. And so what that meant
Speaker 1: for me is that I knew football wasn't everything for
Speaker 1: me because I wasn't even trying to go to the NFL.
Speaker 1: I was trying to go into the business world, start
Speaker 1: my entrepreneurial stuff and get that stuff going and started
Speaker 1: in real estate. And so when the opportunity of the
Speaker 1: NFL presented itself, it was another opportunity for me to
Speaker 1: go and grow. And then people have been asking me
Speaker 1: about that, and I've really been really self aware of
Speaker 1: or been thinking about it and become self aware of
Speaker 1: why I'm so grateful for this opportunity and why I
Speaker 1: do so many different things off the field. It's because
Speaker 1: of I could find that fulfillment, which was that self
Speaker 1: growth in other different and other things besides football. And
Speaker 1: so that's where I started to think and realize that
Speaker 1: I could use the value from football to get all
Speaker 1: of these other things going that I'm interested in and
Speaker 1: start growing in those and that became even more fulfilling.
Speaker 1: And then I just continue to find more things that
Speaker 1: continue to fulfill me. And now I'm at the point
Speaker 1: where it's like, now I'm trying to help other people
Speaker 1: become the best version of themselves, because we're all on
Speaker 1: some type of path towards this version of ourselves that
Speaker 1: we see, but you never really get there. You just
Speaker 1: always working towards it. And for me, that's so special
Speaker 1: and powerful, and it goes beyond football, goes beyond you know,
Speaker 1: any job. It's more internal. It's more of a presence
Speaker 1: of purpose and that is, like, I think, one of
Speaker 1: the most powerful things we have as humans if you
Speaker 1: can find that um And so that's what I played
Speaker 1: for me, is when people really started asking me about
Speaker 1: like you're my journey, and I started to realize why
Speaker 1: I do what I do and why I am the
Speaker 1: way I am and it's because of that pursuance of
Speaker 1: you know better, a better version of myself. We used
Speaker 1: to know a guy like that, his name is Kobe
Speaker 1: being Bryant had that mentality at Amano when we were
Speaker 1: both at Lakers. It was a pleasure to see that,
Speaker 1: just that that matona and it carries. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: something that's contagious because us as broadcasters just being around
Speaker 1: people like that. You were talking about not wanting to
Speaker 1: be around negative energy when you're around positive energy. Austin,
Speaker 1: this good things happening. It doesn't surprise us why things
Speaker 1: have happened the way they've happened for you. Sus it
Speaker 1: to Austin Si. Austin Eckler like, yeah, right, electric Austin Eckler, glacias,
Speaker 1: thank you for being with the s Austin, Yes, thank
Speaker 1: you for having I'll say one thing on that too,
Speaker 1: because you know, I just thought of this, but like
Speaker 1: when you find that for yourself, that that pursuance of like, man,
Speaker 1: this is the path that I want to be on. It,
Speaker 1: like you said, it was contagious. It applies to everything
Speaker 1: in your life, right, It's not just one thing. It
Speaker 1: becomes who you are that whatever that pursuance is becomes
Speaker 1: what you're about, right, And it's it's usually it's not
Speaker 1: like it's not a specific thing. It's more of a
Speaker 1: way about yourself, how you go about your life. Um,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, it's it's really powerful, really special, and
