Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

0:10.1

The show is always presented by Fanduel and joining us for another episode of Tuesday

0:14.8

morning left guard to break down maybe the best offensive line play we've ever seen since

0:19.7

we've been doing this show.

0:20.8

And much,

0:21.3

much more Jeremiah Searle. You don't okay after watching that tape back? I mean, there's got to be

0:28.3

the guard part of you that was thrilled. And then other parts maybe not as much. Yeah, I mean,

0:34.2

I went back and watched the tape and go, wait, we lost that game?

0:37.9

Like, because you watch it from an entirety standpoint and you're like, man, this offensive line is jellant. They're clicking. Break Brandel is, he's addressing things. We're not seeing free runners at the point of attack. We're seeing the line of scrimmage get established on the other side of the ball. Derrissan O'Neill are the leading guys on the outside. This is awesome.

0:55.3

And as I'll be accused of this quite often as an offensive. on the other side of the ball. Derrissan O'Neill are the leading guys on the outside. This is awesome.

And you go through that. But overall, man, from an offensive line standpoint, I feel like since the Cleveland game, things have just started going up, right, climbing the ladder, better each week. Donovan Jackson comes back. Derisaw is feeling healthier. Brian O'Neill's back. Will Fries is starting to be more consistent in this offense. Very happy with where the O lines at. It's a bummer that we're at this developmental stage with the quarterback. Yeah. And I want to

1:37.5

talk about that because West Phillips had something very interesting to say. So we'll dive more into

1:42.2

the offensive line play and what was working for them in just a minute. But something that you said, I have stolen on the show,

1:49.8

that it's frustrating with young quarterbacks that in the media stratosphere and also

1:55.6

fans as well, that we often crown or kill based on the most recent results from the quarterback.

2:02.0

So I want to talk about how to balance the part in between that.

2:05.9

But I asked West Phillips today about quarterback development and the quarterback atmosphere

2:11.1
