| 0:00.0 | 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, |
| 1:05.0 | Louis scene second team. There has been a little bit of shuffling as far as getting Louis seen on the field |
| 1:11.1 | for what looked like a dime package or a three safety type of package and |

| 1:49.6 | two safeties deep so if you miss that if you aren't getting your assignment right in the run game |
| 1:55.9 | I mean it's gonna be pretty tough because you're asking the front four to stop the run for the most part but the safety has to fill in there somewhere |
| 2:04.7 | so that's a big deal for which guy ends up playing with the first team |
| 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. |
| 2:26.2 | We're going to expose those two guys to everything. You know, are we going to have some three safety packages? |
