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

And I have to start the show by saying that something that I said on last night's stream,

a guess of mine turned out to be wrong, that I had figured that the Vikings would have an intense practice today because they have a preseason game coming up on Friday and they didn't have a very intense practice on Monday.

So I thought, okay, well, they're going to get the pads out and back to work.

We go and football, right? That was not the case today. In fact, it was even more walkthrough E than it

was yesterday. So I'll give you a couple of the takeaways. They did some stuff. They did some red zone.

And Max Brosmer had a two- the takeaways. They did some stuff. They did some red zone and Max

Brosmer had a two minute drill opportunity so we can get out of the way with some of that stuff

pretty quickly. But that means what we've got tonight is a lot of opportunity to ask questions.

And I also made a list of the players that are under the most pressure going into Friday's game,

because I am expecting that tomorrow will be that practice that we were dreaming of,

of the full pads and back to work and all that sort of stuff.

And, you know, I'm sure that the Chicago Bears right now are stabbing each other with ancient swords

or something or whatever Ben Johnson's got going in practice.

But just for the record, I know it sounds like, well, you know, they had a light practice

the other day and another light practice today.

But there's some guys that are banged up on this team.

Van Ginkle wasn't practicing.

Blake Cashman wasn't practicing.

Maybe that was just a veteran day.

Harrison Smith has been out with an illness.

You want them as close to 100% as you can when they get into the real work.
