0:00.0	And you love running over people.
0:02.8	That's like what you do on the side for fun.
0:05.6	Oh.
0:10.0	Welcome to the Bill Barnwell show.
0:16.3	I am Bill Barnwell.
0:18.5	Today I will be talking about Brock Purdy and the disconnect between
0:25.6	how he's perceived and how he's actually played so far this season. But first, going to be
