| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider. |
| 0:09.3 | Matthew Collar here. |
| 0:10.3 | The show is always presented by Fandul. |
| 0:13.3 | We will have a Fandual question of the day a little later in the show. |
| 0:18.0 | Questions, comments, and thoughts and opinions in the comment section, hit me up. |
| 0:22.7 | I'll answer your questions very shortly. I got a bunch of notes to run through from Vikings |
| 0:28.2 | and Bears. I spent the day watching back the all 22 film and going through all the numbers and |
| 0:35.0 | have a bunch of things to break down as well as listening to |
| 0:39.2 | Kevin O'Connell's press conference. So probably should start there with what Kevin |

| 1:30.2 | harder on himself than it needs to be. O'Connell was asked about the mechanics and why some of the |
| 1:37.0 | mechanics seemed to be working for him, maybe in practice, and then what he saw when he was going |
| 1:42.9 | through the tape, what was going on mechanically |
| 1:46.4 | with McCarthy. So let's begin with that. There are some plays where, you know, he is, he's |
| 1:54.5 | making it hard on himself just by, you know, the nature of many of the things that, I think that's probably the most frustrating part for him. It's, you know, it nature of many of the things that I think that's probably the most frustrating part for him. |
