and Hello welcome to the Right Guard competition podcast here, purple insider where we will now focus for the next several months on the right

guard position and the right guard position only Matthew collar here along with Paul

Hoduanic and Paul this really should have been an emergency podcast.

It was a complete whiff on my part and I just wanted to start out with an apology for not having a podcast done 45 minutes after the Vikings signed Chris Reed, a

right guard to battle with Jesse Davis, Wyatt Davis, maybe Ole Udo, possibly Austin Schlottman, we've got right guards everywhere.

If they draft another right guard, it's going to be tough to keep, you know, even track of.

It'll be like one of those royal rumbles where

everybody has to go into the ring and just fight it out for who is going to play right guard are you excited I I'm jacked up. I think the best description of it was I think

Surals tweeted at you like the the Joker Giff where he like breaks the pool stick and throws it on the ground for all the people that's that's what the Vikings are planning to do with the right guard situation and yes probably should have been an emergency podcast but Russell Wilson style I was able to break down in a day Chris Reed's tape I went through it three different times you know because I have the full amount of hours to do that just like Russell Wilson had the time to look at every all 17 of the Broncos games while on

vacation that was me grinding the Chris Reed tape so I'm very informed

ready to ready to break this down for however long if it takes hours we'll be here for hours to talk about it and we might be I'm going to the

Women's championship tonight in downtown but if I have to miss it to talk about Chris Reed versus Jesse Davis with every detail

then I'll miss it I'll disappoint the wife and I'll just say and she'll

understand though she gets me and she'll say do what you got to do for Purple Insider in the list.

Chris Reed calls you answer and we're answering.

Okay, so here's the thing.

Chris Reed's a pretty good signing.

He's actually someone that I kind of identified last year as somebody who kind of had low-key decent numbers. When he was playing for the Carolina Panthers, he is from Man Cato, so one of us, but had been a backup and had like not spectacular PFF numbers, but there were just some things in there that were indicators that maybe he could be

decent and then he goes to Indianapolis last year and guess what he's decent as a backup.

Quinton Nelson was hurt quite a bit last year, so he filled in. And I think he's the exact right kind of guy to put in there right now under the present circumstances. So if we were to do this all over again,

you wouldn't be looking at Jesse Davis and Chris Reed.

And I think Jesse Davis is pretty uninspiring
