| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul. |
| 0:11.2 | Matthew Collar here as always. |
| 0:13.3 | And we got a lot to get to tonight, including J.J. McCarthy, a hand injury. |
| 0:20.7 | Kevin O'Connell talked about play calling and your questions and comments. |
| 0:25.7 | There's a lot of room tonight on the show to answer questions and thoughts and feelings and takes. |
| 0:31.6 | So make sure you fire those into the comment section. |
| 0:35.1 | I'll get to them shortly after I give you a little bit of a taste of |

| 1:36.0 | but it also could have been a different play. |
| 1:38.2 | That was what some people brought up. |
| 1:40.9 | But either way, he hit his hand on a helmet and obviously not a great feeling for him, I'm sure. So Kevin O'Connell came out |
