and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider. This episode, my house has power.

So I don't think it really affected the podcasting ability because of the hot spot and our internet was able to work,

but now it's a little better because my refrigerator is going and my house has power and I can see things.

But other than that no real changes from yesterday but we do have some things to get into and we'll go to also a bunch of fans only questions as well. So we need to start out with B.C. Johnson tearing his

when Adam Thelan went down they could have used

BC Johnson because even though he's not this next level explosive freakish

2020 against Carolina, they don't win if

BC Johnson doesn't step up and have a good game and get seven catches in that

game playing the role of essentially Adam Thelin and they won't have that now and it really does affect their depth

because this is a team that's going to run three wide receivers all the time if this was a couple years ago when they were running more too tight end stuff with Kyle Rudolph and Erv Smith Jr
