and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider. Now look this is this is different folks.

This is very special. Matthew Collar, Jeremiah Searles, it's just left guard at this point.

It's not even a day. It's just left guard. But this is different. This is not

Tuesday morning left guard. This is the first leg of three episodes in one day on Saturday because it's Vikings decision

2022 football Benanza Jeremiah Searles are you excited oh I'm ready. The body is willing, Matthew Callie. The body is willing, the spirit is ready. Let's do this thing.

Okay. The two other episodes are with Derek Klaasen, who writes about

quarterbacks and we talk about Kirk Cousins and his future, and then also Jim

Monas, former director, player, personnel for the Buffalo Bills, who I think was just leaving as you were arriving.

Yeah I don't I don't think him and I crossed paths at all. No they he did not but he works for the

XFL now and it's a very insightful interview about what the heck of director of

player personnel does because no one actually knows.

So let's start out.

Here's what I want to talk about in football, Bonanza Decision Vikings 2022

or whatever order that's supposed to go in

is, I want to talk about the roster

because there is now some consternation on the internet, Jeremiah, about the strength of the roster and how close they actually are to being a real contender.

So I want to go through it. I want to go through, I want to talk to you about how strong you think they are. And I think the right place to begin with you is the offensive line. And I got a good question the other day, like what year will the Minnesota Vikings actually have a good offensive line?

So give me your opinion on what they have to work with for the new person coming in which Ryan Poles is an

offensive lineman guy so if he's the person that they hire in Vikings

Decision football Bonanza, 2022.

How far away do you think they are

from having a very good offensive line?
