| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:44.5 | Dane. He's not a bad athlete. No, absolutely. Compared to these guys, though, I don't think he would |
| 0:50.0 | survive too many punches at the football. Anyway, we've got a situation here, Kevin. |

| 1:06.4 | situation and the realities of what this may become and also the options that the team is going to have as |
| 1:12.6 | 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. |
