And the Hello, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Coller here inside

CCO Performance Center sitting in for Will Raggots and the Raggots roundtable is

Alec Lewis of the Athletic and as always Andrew Kramer of the Star Tribune.

And we've got Vikings and Chiefs coming up and Alec the way this usually works, it's usually

a hardcore breakdown.

So we look at matchups,

X is and O, sometimes I just draw on a whiteboard

that doesn't even exist.

That's all usually works, but I think we've got

a lot of other things to discuss as well that are, as West Phillips called them,

narratives going on about this team. And I feel like it just wouldn't be even one of these conversations if we didn't start with the

offensive line and since we just listen to West Phillips kind of go on a rant about

Ed Ingram in his play I want to get you guys reactions.

I'm not sure if the old risers playing this week.

It doesn't feel like the old risers going to play this week.

I don't know when, if ever he's going to play.

And if he doesn't, I don't know why they signed him so let's talk about it what do you think Ed Ingram plays and if he doesn't what's the reaction how are you feeling about this right guard situation that has captivated the masses?

Yeah, I do thanks for having me first of all. It's it's an honor to be here with you two gentlemen. I know we talk a lot in the media room but now we we get to do this live.

You're right in that this is a captivating subject, the right guard of the Minnesota Vikings.

It's the headline on ESPN. It is what we have on the front page, the athletic. I mean, it is everywhere you look right now. But it was interesting and I mean I asked West Phillips because I'm curious, I was curious and I've just been curious I think throughout the entire season like how do you evaluate Ed Ingers played through four weeks the numbers will tell you that he's given up the second most pressures in the entire NFL among guards.

And this follows a season where he gave up,

I think the most pressure is the NFL among all the offensive linemen.
