Purple Insider - a Minnesota Vikings and NFL podcast

Matthew Coller and Manny Hill take on some fun questions regarding this week's Lions-Vikings game, including which Lions quarterback you'd pick to lead a game-winning drive that wasn't Matthew Stafford, how many young Vikings players can you actually get excited about, which teams are as bad as the Lions in other pro sports and how the Vikings would have finished this year if Denny Green was coaching.

Matthew Coller and CBS Sports's Chris Trapasso talk about whether the Vikings should keep an eye on Trey Lance and whether the offensive and defensive line classes are strong this year. Plus they look at wide receiver and why the Yannick Ngakoue trade was so harmful to their draft stock.

Matthew Coller and former Minnesota Vikings Jeremiah Sirles talk decide to pass on breaking down the Vikings-Saints film and elect to do the entire show with the "love to see it, hate to see it" game. They talk about how far the Vikings need to go, which players showed they have potential, where the question marks are and the coach/QB get "hate to see it" breakdowns.

This is part 1 of a series diving deep into what makes NFL offenses modern and what the Minnesota Vikings can stand to learn from this season in order to upgrade next year. How do modern offenses use running backs and the running game? Do the Vikings have a modern play-action game? How does their team building factor in? And which offenses should they be stealing from?

The Minnesota Vikings are in position to play it straight this offseason and make a few nice signings and otherwise stay the course. They could also blow it up and do some wild things like trading the coach and quarterback or trading Danielle Hunter that would really change the entire shape of the franchise. Which makes more sense? Matthew Coller gets together with PFF's cap guru Brad Spielberger to talk about which direction is smarter for the team to take.

In an epic breakdown of everything that caused the Minnesota Vikings to miss the playoffs in 2020 Matthew Coller and Courtney Cronin go from start to finish on who's to blame and how we got here. Why weren't the Vikings able to figure out this would be a rebuilding year? Did they believe they could just coach up the defense? That doesn't appear to be the case after allowing 52 points to the New Orleans Saints. Plus what impact does Kirk Cousins contract play in all their decisions?

Matthew Coller and ESPN's Courtney Cronin talk about which players need to show up against the Saints, regardless of the outcome. Does Eric Wilson have something to gain? Will we see any less of Dalvin Cook? Will the Vikings finally go all-in throwing to Justin Jefferson? Will Cam Dantzler continue his strong play? Plus a pie chart involving Mike Zimmer's future?

Matthew Coller and Sam Ekstrom of Zone Coverage talk attempt a hardcore breakdown of Vikings and Saints but it doesn't last very long as they quickly dive into what would happen if the Vikings come up way short against New Orleans and whether that would dial up the pressure on the Vikings' coach and quarterback. Plus whether we'll learn this week if the Vikings' offense is actually good or if it's been a product of the schedule.

Matthew Coller and former Minnesota Viking Jeremiah Sirles break down the serious struggles of the Vikings' offensive and defensive lines against the Chicago Bears and talk about whether there's a route to the Vikings having good play in the trenches next season.
