| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul. |
| 0:10.2 | And it is time, though it is a Wednesday for Tuesday morning left guard as Jeremiah |
| 0:15.5 | Searle returned from his hunting trip to look at the all 22 and go, who's playing offensive line right now |
| 0:23.2 | and why? |
| 0:24.8 | Jeremiah, that must have been quite startling because you go off on your trip, you try to |
| 0:29.4 | unplug from everything, and then you come back. |
| 0:32.0 | And it's always a unique surprise that you get when you see that tape again. |
| 0:37.3 | But the Vikings don't have any offensive linemen. |
| 0:40.4 | And the update today is that Michael Juergens was not practicing, which could potentially |
| 0:45.6 | leave, depending on where that goes the rest of the week, Blake Brandel, which would move |
| 0:51.4 | then, I think, Joe Huber into starting guard, and undrafted free agent who's on the practice squad. |
| 0:59.0 | You've compared this, I think, to 2016 before where all the offensive linemen got hurt and they had to play number 71. |
| 1:06.0 | But, I mean, this might even be worse than what I, this might be the worst I have ever seen of |
| 1:13.1 | offensive line injuries. I think, I think if I leave town, crazy crap happens, right? Because when I, |
| 1:19.6 | my first weekend gone, I'm watching the Bengals just, I'm watching the Bengals just get throttled on |
| 1:24.3 | national TV, right? Just get abused up and down. Like, okay, well, we can work with this, right? There's some things moving on here. And then I come back and I'm watching this game on Sunday when I fire up Starlink at camp on Monday. And I'm like, wait, where's O'Neill? Hold on. Why is Kelly not in? Wait, where's Donovan Jackson? And then I come back and I watched the All 22 this morning again. |
| 1:46.7 | Because I like, I have to rewatch the TV copy. |
| 1:48.6 | Just didn't do it justice. |
| 1:50.2 | I never want to watch that again. |
| 1:51.8 | I wanted to turn it off after the second quarter because Carson Wentz has no time to throw. |
| 1:58.3 | You've got receivers starting to do the arm throw down the field. We are heading into dangerous waters right now as a Vikings offense. And I really don't know. I don't see, and maybe Matt, maybe you do. I don't see a clear path out of this right now. Like, I don't see like, where's the light at the end of the tunnel where like we can just get there like I don't |
