Hey, everybody. Welcome into another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul.

0:09.6

Matthew Collar here, along with ESPN's Kevin Seafurt, inside TCO Performance Center,

0:14.4

where we have just listened to Matt Daniels and Brian Flores, actually give us a full

0:19.3

breakdown of how to punch the football out.

0:22.4

So I guess we could talk about that if we want.

0:24.5

There are more pressing subjects, I feel like.

0:28.0

Matt Daniels offered to show Dane Muzatani how to do it himself.

0:32.9

And so I'd like to see that.

0:34.3

I'd like Dane not to have to end up in the hospital.

0:37.1

So probably not a great

0:38.5

idea. But Daniels thought he had some wiggle, so. I mean, I've played actually basketball with

we go forward. So yesterday we spoke with Kevin O'Connell, and I would love to know your

1:17.5

interpretation of his comments to us about where they stand with Carson Wentz and J.J. McCarthy.

1:23.7

Yeah, I mean, I asked Kevin O'Connell directly, like, whenever the moment comes that J.J. McCarthy's ankle is fully healed, are you 100% committed to playing him? And a pretty straightforward direct answer. And he gave an answer that was not straightforward or direct, which is totally within his prerogative. He went in a lot of different areas. At one point, he said, you know, it's not even a

1:47.3

question that has to be answered right now, which is totally fair and within his rights. And so,

1:52.4

to me, the only objective way to take this totality of what he said is that he's really not committing

1:59.4

to anything. Like, by definition, by not answering it, he's not committing to it.
