0:00.0	You're going to. Hey everybody welcome to another episode of purple insider Matthew Collar here
0:25.5	along with Will Raggots of Sports Illustrated and Andrew Kramer of the Star Tribune
0:30.1	once again a Raggots roundtable and guys we usually don't start with the injury report because injury reports are not exciting but this injury report has a lot of people on it and I feel like coming out of that Cincinnati game not only the emotional letdown of losing a game where you outplayed the other team for the vast majority but also you played against a very physical team in a game where the Vikings come out beat up and now have to go against a lion's team that appears to be on the upswing after hitting a little bit of rocky ground here.
1:05.8	Why don't we start a little bit in reverse with the episode?
1:09.2	How in trouble are the Vikings in this matchup?
1:12.1	They might be in trouble because you know you see
1:15.2	some DMPs on Wednesday and you're like alright maybe they'll get back and then you see him again on

1:40.4	now on defense I think.
1:41.7	Jonathan Bullard's a little banged up as well.
1:44.3	He plays a lot of snaps for this team.
1:46.2	Harrison Phillips, did you say him?
1:47.5	Yeah, Harrison, so it's Phillips and Murphy, I guess are the two big ones.
1:51.2	Offensively, it looks like there might not be Alexander Madison or Brian O'Neill again. Not as concerned about that. I think everyone listening to this would agree that they want Ty Chandler to be the featured back even if Madison is able to play.
2:05.5	And then I thought David Questenberry was actually like completely fine for a backup right tackle performance.
