and Oh, Hey everybody welcome to

to welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here.

Great to have you back with me again tonight

and it is remarkable how every day something new happens

that we have to talk about and discuss and have a good conversation about to start the show and then of course as always get into all of your questions have a fun chat here over the next hour or so a lot of times it does turn into or so I think when you've also got this week a

preseason game coming up on Thursday night. If you don't follow the Purple Insider podcast feed,

make sure you go check that out because I have a great discussion with Ben Gessling

to dive into for you after the show.

If you want more Vikings talk,

we had a really fun conversation.

Ben looked into his crystal ball

to talk about Jordan Addison,

to talk about the Vikings defense.

And then we even went through some old

Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks because that's what we do.

So make sure you're also checking on wherever you get your podcast Apple Spotify so forth because some of the stuff from out at

TCO Performance Center is just there and not here on the YouTube channel. So anyway, lots to talk about. We've got Ivan Pace Jr taking more first team

reps, which I want to get into, not just a smattering, but pretty much all of the important reps today at practice at the starting

linebacker position. So I want to discuss that. Also, the Vikings have a depth chart out and it is unofficial and Kevin O'Connell said don't you dare look into that depth chart. It's not official. It's not the real depth chart. Nothing's resolved. But you know what?

You can't stop me, Kevin.

I'm going to look at that depth chart

and see what it says.
