and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Inside and Anti Collar. Along with Dane Mizitani for a Porch podcast we just drove from TCO Performance Center following a conversation

0:34.6

with Kevin O'Connell and press conference with Quaisee Dauphalmenza and now we are

0:39.1

here to talk about everything we learned about what went wrong with the

0:43.0

2022 draft which was the main focus of our

0:47.8

conversation but I want to start in a slightly different spot which is

0:51.5

with Jaron Hall I think it came as a little bit of a surprise to some that the Vikings

0:56.5

decided to cut Jaren Hall and to sign a Brett Rippin who was with Chicago but he's also been with several different teams

1:47.0

And when you first hear someone getting waived,

1:50.0

you kind of assume like, is it over for them them and it's clear it's not why I think it

1:55.5

was actually kind of a smart like functional roster move to do it the way they did

2:00.9

is because now all the practice squads are filled and while

2:04.4

geron hall might not have been claimed off of waivers anyway this week now there's a

2:09.5

very low chance he is because a lot of times these teams have filled out their
