and Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar, here and we have ourselves a recap of a night practice.

Who's excited?

Also, Kevin O'Connell and Daniel Hunter did press conferences.

I want to bring you some of that, but let me just start off by talking about what

happened last night.

Then we'll get to the press conference analysis.

And then I have some fans only questions to

answer as well and keep an eye out this is going to be a big week for some people to

come on the show Eric Edholm is going to come on. He is now with NFL.com. Also Brandon

Thorne who studies offensive line. He's going to pop by the show and tell us what

he thinks of the next step for Christian Darissau, what they should do at center, and all that. So keep your eyes out. Also, I'm a little bit short now on fans only questions. We've been running through them and doing a lot of episodes.

So purple insider.com you could send me an email there or you could send me a

DM on Twitter at Matthew collar or just a regular tweet and I will get back to you. Also just

while we're doing all of the house cleaning, the folks who have given five-star

reviews have helped push us into the top 50 on the iTunes of all football podcasts to start training camp here and that is really

cool to see so if you haven't left a five-star review please do that you guys are the absolute best who have done that so far. So all right well last

night I would say the first overarching point that I want to make is let's not overreact to a practice that was not exactly electric

Because this is a new offense. It's a new scheme and they're working their way through kinks when it comes to this but it was not

Really the practice that I think that people wanted to see when they showed up I think they wanted to see big throws to Justin Jefferson and Adam Thelan and lots of fireworks and then actual fireworks at the end and it was more like a regular practice, which there's some ups and some downs at the end of practice.

As far as the good things go, Kirk Cousins led a nice drive that's resulted in a field goal.

Greg Joseph was once again fantastic.

He went seven for eight including a 58 yarder
