and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of purple Insider, Matthew Collary here.

Great to see everybody again, and now I had planned to jump right into the Vikings,

reportedly sending everybody to see J.J McCarthy and I want to talk a lot with you guys in the chat tonight just about

J.J McCarthy and how you feel about that potential idea as we do have to deal with the reality that the Vikings might not be able to get up to the top three

but let's start with a little bit of Vikings breaking news,

which is that they have added a defensive tackle

by the name of Jonah Williams.

And I thought, where have I heard that name before?

Oh yeah, he's an offensive linemen for the Bengals and signed with I think Arizona, but I also heard it before because he was once upon a time with the Minnesota Vikings for a bit and he ended up with the Los Angeles Rams where he has spent the last three seasons and Jonah Williams numbers are not spectacular if you look them up on PFF. He has grades that are below average,

did not create a ton of pressure when he was asked to chase the quarterback and grades as above average

tackler he goes along with another guy that the Vikings brought in which is

Jerry Tillery and I haven't talked a lot about him either he played for the

Raiders last year had a little bit of a breakout year and the Vikings also brought back

Jonathan Bullard as well so I think what a lot of us were thinking going into this off season was that the Vikings would be going after Christian Wilkins and they would be trying to put all their eggs in a defensive tackle basket, just go all in with Wilkins to try to fix their defensive line, and instead they are going to go with kind of a rotational type of approach where they now have four guys at

defensive tackle who are all proven but none of them is spectacular. So Harrison Phillips

I think we know is a pretty good player. And I really liked what

Jonathan Buller did last year for what he was asked to do in comparison for what he was asked to do.

He was not a big time difference maker,

but he was a gap stuffer and, you know,

if he's playing more like 400 to 500 snaps,

he's in a better role than being asked to be an every down type of player and

Jerry Tillery is an interesting one because he was a first round draft pick and then really struggled in his first location with Los Angeles and then with the chargers and then with the chargers and then he goes to the raiders and actually has a pretty good season where he was able to get after the passer a little bit more
