Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fanduel, Matthew

Collar here.

And it is time, once again, for Tuesday morning Left Guard, which is being recorded on

a Monday because the Vikings are playing on Christmas and people got plans.

So let's jump right in, Jeremiah, with we get to use your offensive line expertise

all the time to explain stuff to us because no matter how much you watch football,

I promise you you don't understand everything that's going on up there.

So we need to start with the play where J.J. McCarthy got hurt and then we can get into all the other implications and what it may mean if McCarthy is not able to come back this season.

So why don't we start there, my friend, break it down. What happened on the play?

Well, actually, we don't know if that

was the play McCarthy actually got hurt on. It could have been another play, but the notable

strip sack. Yeah. So it's a tunnel screen to the left, right? So when I say tunnel screen,

that means it's a wide receiver screen to the left. And so what is? It's a three by one set.

Your ball is supposed to go to the furthest receiver. And then from there, receiver number two goes and blocks the guy over number one. And the guy over number three goes and blocks from number two. And then the front side tackle, which was, I believe, um, what's his name? Justin's cool. Cool. Yeah, that guy, school, he has to go out and block it. So it's a trickle-down effect. So what that means is that the entire offensive line is stepping left, right? We all are stepping left to make it look like it's a full slide protection. And so from there, you go full slide, you get the front side three out. So front side tackle, front side guard in the center get out.

The backside has hot rules, which means you have to protect inside out.

So you have the A gap and the B gap are priority number one.

So as I'm watching this play fall out, Brian O'Neill is very much doing the letter of the law of the rules of I have B gap defender standing at the line of scrimmage.

He is threat number one.

I must step to him first and then worry about getting out.

But by the way it's written up and now it's drawn up on the install sheet, Burns is unblocked.

We beat the furthest defender away from the play has to get beat with the ball.

Now, hats off to the
