and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider from inside

0:24.3

TCO Performance Center Matthew Collar here day two of training camp will go through

0:29.6

some things that we noticed today and that we're talked about at the podium and then we'll get into some rapid-fire fan questions for the fans only and then some that you guys sent before training camp that I didn't get to and so we've got a lot to discuss here today.

0:47.3

So let's start out just with the audio from today's press conferences and

0:51.2

begin with Ed Donatell, the Vikings new defensive

0:54.9

coordinator and he talked about the subject that has most caught my eye to start

1:00.7

training camp here which is Cam binum has been taking the first team reps,

2:08.4

safeties or the first team defense and whether Lewis seen will have a chance to get first team reps soon if he's going to earn those once the pads come on if they're trying to bring him along slowly so

2:20.1

Ed Donatell talked a little bit about that and was, let's just say, non-committal.
