Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul, and is time once again for Tuesday morning left guard with Jeremiah Searles, which actually lit up the internet last week as you responded to the struggles of J.J. McCarthy.

they're always doing anyway, but maybe simplifying how many different things in moving parts are with the

offense, which I believe has been something that's been asked for from this offense for

about four years now, but especially this year it has been glaring how much is asked of

the quarterbacks.

And now we are at Jaron Hall, J.J. McCarthy, Max Brosmer,
