and Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider.

This is half of a fans only podcast.

I also have a conversation coming up a little later in the show

with Mark Bullock, who covers the Washington commanders and we talk about how the

game on the schedule against the commanders is one that both teams think that

they're going to win and I'm very interested to get

Mark's opinions on Carson Wentz, how he fits in, whether Washington is a low-key

team that could actually improve and he's I think one of the best football analysts

covering an individual team he's got a sub stack but he's written for the

athletic he's written for the Washington Post so he's very good and he's from England so you'll enjoy his accent that's coming up in a little bit here but so many of you have sent fans only questions that I want to continue to answer those and

not just include the interview because there's a lot of great stuff to still get to

also had another idea as well for an episode or two or three this week depending on how many

responses I get on Twitter which is predictions and

Projections Week so over at the website purple insider.com

writing about different predictions for Vikings players for the Vikings season

and starting with Mike Clay of the

ESPN who predicts every single player.

So later in the week I'm going to talk with Mike and have him on the show and

we'll go through all the predictions for Justin Jefferson, Kirk Cousins and all that.

That'll be a fun conversation, but also I put it out there and asked Vikings fans, hey,

send me your predictions for this season and so that will be another episode as well probably the next episode you hear will be

fan projections and me running through them and some of them are funny some of them I think are extremely optimistic some of them are extremely not optimistic and we're going to find kind of where we think the right spot to be so
