And the Hey everybody welcome to another episode of purple insider Matthew Collier. everybody I've got a bunch of emails that I want to get to because I always want to make sure that the people who email in go to purple insider.com send me emails there through the contact us or who hit me up on their d.ams that I get their thoughts into these shows as well

as all of you folks who are kind enough to join live

and comment and I've got a lot of really interesting stuff that people have sent me this week to talk about and some notes to go through

But I want to start the show in an interesting place. I saw something on the internet that I want to talk about and that I have been getting a lot of questions about and since you guys haven't heard me mention I wrote a book on Pro Football Focus. I've gotten some questions about how PFF could be doing

their grading to show something. Let me let me to show you what I'm talking about here.

So right now, as of this moment, PFF and Ben Baldwin

of the athletics accumulation of offensive line scores has the Minnesota Vikings as a good pass

protection team. If you're watching on the screen you can see this that they are

ranked fourth in the NFL by his metrics and if you look real close and

squint you'll see that PFF has them graded pretty highly there as well as

several other analytical metrics.

Now this goes against something

that I've gotten a lot of emails and notes about,

about how the offensive line is struggling

and how they'll never do anything

until they fix the offensive line and

yada yada yada and everything else that we have been over many, many times in the past.

And I wanted to kind of talk about why this might be that as you're watching games on Sundays or Thursdays and you feel like the Vikings offensive line is having a tough time but yet at the same time the metrics are coming out showing that their offensive line isn't all that bad.

So here's the major thing that's happening here.

One is that four out of the five Minnesota Vikings offensive linemen,

even Austin Schlopman, have performed pretty well in terms of past protection, but one has not.

And I think you guys know exactly who the one that is not is and that is at Ingram and when we go to dive even a little bit deeper into this
