and Oh, Hey everybody welcome to

welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Coller here and you will

notice right off the bat that I'm talking pretty quietly and

it is not because I'm in the airport or a number of other places I've done podcasts through

the years. It is because after Saturday my voice completely gave out,

which is why there was no show on Sunday, not because, I mean there was a big trade that the Vikings had of Vadarion Lowe which we'll get to

But I couldn't do an emergency podcast after that because I had absolutely no voice at all and I think I have just enough to do a show here tonight, but also there's a lot going on that we need to talk about and tomorrow as well when the Vikings make their final cuts, of will be here on the show as usual but no surprise I'm not the first person to come back from Las Vegas with some physical issues right I need haircut, my face is still burned from Las Vegas,

and I have no voice.

But once a year it happens to me every single year at some point.

I mean, we've done so many shows through training camp and I appreciate

everyone who has showed up here night after night that it just gives out and so I guess it helped

me grind through that final preseason game and then collapsed but that's all right

We'll we'll keep pushing through it and we'll come back eventually I've got some gator aid here

Which I think is maybe a little more helpful than Diet Dr Pepper toward the voice but probably not it's not great also I'll try to go as long as we can on this chat and I appreciate you guys coming along with me for that to ask your questions, get your comments in here before the Vikings make their final cuts.

So far they've made a handful of cuts and no surprises, but first before I get into your questions and comments I want to go through a few things that are the headlines for today that would be relevant to the Vikings and of course we'll start out with Vadarian Lowe being traded and I don't have a lot to say about that.

I mean they already have Blake Brandl and Oli Udo as their swing tackles.

It seemed like the Patriots were desperate and the Vikings were probably just going to cut Vadarian low anyway

At some point they are expected to get Chris Reed back so they do have some depth issues.

I feel like every team has depth issues,

but they have Schlutman, Udell, Brandle,

and then when Reed returns,

they'll have those four guys.
