and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Koller here and joining me not the first overseas guest that we've ever had, but happy to welcome in Ali Connolly who I've followed his work a while back somebody

tweeted me it's kind of funny like how we get connected somebody tweeted me and said you got to follow

this guy does great football stuff so he writes the newsletter read optional also the managing

editor of grid iron what is up ollie great to have you thanks for having me it's great to be here

so I've been following grid iron and you guys tweet out clips of things you say and of course covering the Vikings every time someone says anything about the Vikings I go,

oh, can I use that? Is that content? I see content.

content.

It's June Ollie so this is how like this but you did say something interesting about the Vikings

that kind of matches up with each week we've kind of had themes and this is time horizons week so we've been going through

quarterback futures teams that could be Super Bowl contenders for this year and I wanted to talk to you about

teams in the Super Bowl window, but as teams sort of you could put them in categories of different, this team is a Super Bowl contender boomer bus, this team is rebuilding things like that I wonder where you think the Vikings fit into this because when the general manager calls it a competitive rebuild but doesn't do rebuild the things I'm not sure exactly how to view them.

Yeah, they're kind of trying to straddle that middle line where it seems as though they said they use what,

five of their first six draft picks on defense, right?

So they've said all that stale stuff

at the end of the Zimmer era,

we can correct that with new faces.

They just got every athlete in the draft.

Who's the quickest, longest, fastest person in the draft who's the quickest longest

fastest person in the draft will draft all those fellows

and we'll figure the rest out from there and then hopefully

Kevin O'Connell can squeeze what five extra percent out of all those

unbelievable pieces on offense.
