Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider. Matthew Collar here and look, I'm all alone. It has been a while since I have done a live solo podcast here but looking for viewer participation

from everybody who's joining on YouTube for tonight we did a lot of these during

training camp but during the season I've had all

sorts of guests coming and going which has been awesome but I don't have a guest for it tonight

so we have a lot to talk about I have some sound to play for you very shortly and much to discuss in regards to this week's game against the Atlanta Falcons a new starting quarterback which has been quite some time since we have seen that for the Minnesota Vikings.

Guess that would be going back to 2021 when Kirk Cousins had to miss the game at Lambo Field and Sean Manion started that also began the

tumbling down the mountain of Mike Zimmer's comments about Kellenmond after that game

which played a role in his exit from Minnesota.

But aside from that, there have been very few times where I have been getting ready for a game

and Kirk Cousins has not been the quarterback and that goes. game and

Kirk Cousins has not been the quarterback and that goes for everybody else as well so a very strange feeling at

TCO Performance Center and what I'm interested in is hearing from you good folks about what

your expectations for Jairn Hall are and what's reasonable to expect from

someone who has only thrown a couple NFL passes, played several preseason games,

had an NFL training camp, and has only been QB2 as a backup working as the Scout team quarterback for a couple of weeks.

At the same time he did throw in college over 700 passes, over 6,000 yards, 61 total touchdowns in college, an experienced quarterback.

And here's a stat to tell all of your friends when you go to work tomorrow that

Jaren Hall is only 264 days younger than T.J.

Hawkinson who is now entering his second contract and he is

449 days older than Justin Jefferson. So we have an adult

quarterback here though he is a rookie. Jaren Hall of course know, a lot of players who go to BYU do missions and then come

back and play football, which is why sometimes they come out of college.
