Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fanduel, Matthew Collar here, along with former Minnesota Viking Jeremiah Searles.

0:15.4

And this is the official podcast of breaking down Blake Brandel's game.

0:20.6

Oh, do you want to hear about the quarterback

0:22.5

situation? I'm sure you might or kind of do, but you know, look, if we're going to have a

0:27.8

former offensive lineman on this show, this is your day. This is your time. So I'm going to clear

0:32.7

the stage here. Maybe I'll just even get up and walk out of the picture and you can tell everyone

0:37.4

what you thought of Blake Brandel. There will be no, there will be no, here. Maybe I'll just even get up and walk out of the picture and you can tell everyone what

1:25.1

1:35.3

throughout the entire game. And I felt like he played extremely well for what the position he was given to.

1:41.1
