Purple FTW! Podcast: Vikings-Dolphins Preview with Oscar Hazell (ep. 406) Aug 31, 2017

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings mercifully wrap up the preseason Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins at Historic US Bank Stadium. To ramp up for this titanic struggle we brought in Oscar Hazell (@OscarHazell) of The Miami Pod to run through the opposition and get his take on the Vikings backups (unless the starters play for some reason.... Zimmer...). Plus I make the case that 2017 is (finally) the season the Vikings cut/trade wide receiver Jarius Wright.

All that and more "Historic US Bank Stadium is a non-smoking building, Jay" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

Purple FTW! Podcast: Xavier Got (Rightfully) Paid (ep. 384) Jul 31, 2017

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings will have Sam Bradford as their wheelman heading into the 2017 season. But is he the long-term answer for the heist? We chat about that along with (hopefully) putting a bow on #Kombuchagate, excerpt from my BULL with Andy Carlson chat with Emory Hunt (@FBallGameplan) about Sam/Teddy and why he's big on Dalvin Cook, and bring it on home with a wide-ranging talk with Ted Glover (@purplebuckeye) of The Daily Norseman.

Purple FTW! Podcast: Law & Vikings Organized Team Activities (ep. 374) - Minnesota Vikings - 1500 ESPN May 26, 2017

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings were back in town this week to start the first of three sets of Organized Team Activities before mid-June's mandatory mini-camp. Tuesday's practice lit #VikingsTwitter ablaze with video of Teddy Bridgewater taking snaps. I pontificate about that along with several other OTA talkers. Later in the show, we bring in Joshua Johnson (@DFF_Cog) to talk some fantasy implications about the young Vikes. Plus a clip of Matt Vensel (@MattVensel) of the Star Tribune and I chatting about Mike Zimmer's absence from OTAs due to his 8th eye surgery and both his short and long-term prospects with the team.

All that and more "Breath. It's Just OTAs." chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

Recapping the Minnesota Vikings' 2017 NFL Draft Apr 29, 2017

Show notes

Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman more than lived up to his "Trader Rick" moniker wheeling-and-dealing seven times (we think) in this iteration of the draft. We recap the haul, declare Winners and Losers of the draft Vikings-wise, and how the Purple neophytes project to make an impact in 2017 and beyond.

2 (41) - Dalvin Cook, RB - Florida State 3 (70) - Pat Elflein, C - Ohio State 4 (109) - Jaleel Johnson, DT - Iowa 4 (120) - Ben Gedeon, LB - Michigan 5 (170) - Rodney Adams, WR - South Florida 5 (180) - Danny Isidora, G - Miami 6 (201) - Bucky Hodges, TE - Virginia Tech 7 (219) - Stacy Coley, WR - Miami 7 (220) - Ifeadi Odenigbo, DE - Northwestern 7 (232) - Elijah Lee, LB - Kansas State 7 (245) - Jack Tocho, DB NC State

Teddy Bridgewater Injury Instant Reaction Aug 30, 2016

Show notes

It's a dark day for Minnesota Vikings fans as Teddy Bridgewater suffered what appeared to be a serious non-contact knee injury Tuesday at practice. Serious enough that an ambulance was called in and practice was cancelled after only 25 minutes. Sam Ekstrom (@SamEkstrom) phoned in from Winter Park to give us the details on the the ground and I examine what the Vikings quarterback position (Shaun Hill, Taylor Heinicke, Free Agent TBD), the offense, and overall season outlook shifts with Teddy out.
