Summary

Matthew Coller talks about what he learned from Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave, Isaiah Rodgers, Ryan Kelly, Jordan Mason and Will Fries introductory press conferences. It seems that The Athletic is keeping the Aaron Rodgers/Vikings thing alive and Adam Schefter kinda hesitated on TV. Things are still weird there.

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

0:10.4

And we have spent the last two days as Vikings reporters talking with the new members of the Minnesota Vikings.

0:18.3

So the goal is to run through some of the most interesting

0:21.4

clips from two guys who you could say won the press conferences. They've also won a lot of

0:26.5

football games in their careers. But the most interesting subjects that we had an opportunity

0:31.6

to talk with were Ryan Kelly and Jonathan Allen, both of whom could probably host their own

0:37.2

podcasts at some point.

0:38.8

So I'll dive into some of the questions that I asked both of those guys and we'll give you

0:43.8

those answers and some of the other things that I took away from the conversations.

0:48.8

I think the biggest thing that we were looking for was number one, why did you sign in Minnesota?

0:54.0

I'll bring you some of those

0:55.0

answers. And then also there was a lot of health discussions that were going on of where do

1:00.0

you stand in terms of your health? Because if there's one big question mark about a lot of the

1:06.8

Vikings free agent signings, it is, are they going to be at 100%? Is there risk involved

1:12.8

and all that so we can get into that? But it's also your night here on the show. There

hasn't been any news in like, I don't know, like 20 hours or so. So what do you got? What's

1:25.5

on your mind? What are you thinking about? And yeah, it does seem like the Aaron Rogers saga for maybe an entire day felt over and then feels less over after some more speculation.

1:39.6

And Diana Rossini on a Dan Patrick show guessing, asked to guess where Rogers was going to land

1:47.5

and doubling down and saying the Minnesota Vikings, but at least for now, I think we have

1:55.0

gotten to a point where we can say J.J. McCarthy is going to be the quarterback to start the spring and then we let

2:04.1

God take the wheel and whatever happens from there happens and we'll see. But at least from the
