The Schrager Hour

 Peter opens the show with a breakdown of his meetings with the Jets and the Dolphins in advance of Monday's showdown, and why Jets fans need to remain patient after just one month into Aaron Glenn's tenure as the head coach. He, then, breaks down the Liam Coen-Robert Saleh drama and why there may have been a little more to it from the Jacksonville side. After giving his sports media and player of the week awards, he welcomes in Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo as this week's guest. "Skat" is tremendous and discusses his childhood living in the outskirts of Sacramento, his illustrious high school football career, and vomiting all over the field for the world to see in last year's playoff game. He, then, brings us up to date and what it's been like a month into the NFL season, venturing into New York City, and his friendship with fellow rookie Jaxson Dart. Great episode and Skattebo brings the wood.
