and Oh, Hey everybody welcome

welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here

late night after dark version once again as I have just returned from the

Minnesota Vikings night practice part two. Only part two I have to say was quite a bit less intense than Part 1. The Vikings did not practice with pads tonight in front of probably somewhere around 5,000 fans. They mostly did seven on sevens and you can understand why they

have to travel tomorrow, play the Seattle Seahawks in a preseason game, then travel back and then start up a pretty intense week of practices that very soon

is going to have the Tennessee Titans coming into Minnesota.

So I think the Kevin O'Connell wanted to take it on the lighter side. So it was just

shorts and shoulder pads and they got a lot of work done in front of everybody. But it wasn't the same sort of 11 on 11 football, intense that the night practices

when they, for the first one, try to kind of put on more of a show for the fans.

Tonight was more of a

more of a much more routine light practice for the Vikings and as far as

notes from the actual practice go and trust me we do have things to talk about because the owner of the Minnesota Vikings talk today and I was there for that a couple of things that we've pulled a couple of clips for you guys of him talking Mark Wilf about Kirk Cousins contract about Justin Jefferson's contracts. We will discuss that.

But from a note perspective really only like Ivan Pace was doing his thing with

Jordan Hicks again Brian Osamoa did not practice in any of the seven on seven scenarios tonight and it looked like he did the warm up so I don't know if he got hurt in the

warm-ups or there was a reason he was sitting out to the side or if there's another injury or

illness or whatever it might be that happened with Brian

Assamoa but he was not out there practicing in full so it will be interesting now

to see if he actually plays in the game.

Maybe, you know, if somebody gets banged up just a little bit, then it's probably better to hold them out, play him in the game.

But if and when and where Brian Osoemoa plays in the game, but if and when and where Brian Asamoa plays in the game will be something to watch because it feels like Ivan Pace Jr. has passed him and has been taking mostly all of the reps, especially the important ones, with Jordan Hicks and that continued tonight.

Hey, for those folks the other night who came on and said, why sign to Kiel Harry?

He had the two best catches tonight.
