Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

And I am back from Minnesota Vikings joint practices.

The first of two days of joint practices with the Vikings and the New England Patriots. And I got to tell

you, it was a beautiful day for football. That was the number one takeaway for today. I'm going to get

to all the different things that we saw from J.J. McCarthy, from the offensive line, the weapons,

the receivers. But I'm going to tell you the truth.

Little PSA here at the beginning, or I'm just going to admit to you that I only have one pair

eyes and I can only be in one spot for the entire practice.

So I watched J.J. McCarthy.

I watched every drop back.

I watched every throw, every scramble, every handoff, but I watched J.J. McCarthy. I watched every dropback. I watched every throw, every scramble, every handoff.

But I was not on the other field watching the Patriots offense versus the Vikings defense.

I asked around after practice and I read some other reports of what other reporters said, but can't be in two places at one time. So I was watching all of

J.J. McCarthy, all of the offense. And that's where most of my focus is going to be. And of course,

I mean, a major part of that too is I think that we feel pretty good about where the Minnesota

Vikings defense is at. And one funny moment about the defense. So I was standing there watching the offense.

And then Chad Graff, who used to cover the Vikings and now covers the Patriots, he came over,

said, how's it going over here? And I said, how's it going over there? And he said, you know,

that rookie Will Campbell, he is getting demolished by Jonathan Grenard. I said, welcome to Vikings camp. So it sounds like

the Vikings defensive line gave the Patriots a pretty tough time on the offensive side. But

otherwise, it sounds like also that Drake May had some really impressive plays, I would expect,

no less. But you want the J.J. McCarthy breakdown.
