This episode originally ran when Matthew Coller launched PurpleInsider.substack.com. Plus an interview in which Matthew Coller is the guest on Denver radio talking about the exit of George Paton.

Matthew Coller is joined by Pro Football Focus analyst Seth Galina to discuss what makes a modern offense as Part 3 of the series that has looked at how teams are getting the most out of their players. How do the Vikings differ from teams that spread the field? What are the limitations of the Kubiak style system? What would a more athletic QB look like in the same system?

Matthew Coller and former Minnesota Viking Jeremiah Sirles break down the NCAA National Championship game with a Vikings lens and talk about whether trading Danielle Hunter is the right move. Would he be worth enough on the market to move him? Or should they just re-work his contract? Plus we talk about the NFL playoffs and which games we can't wait to see this weekend.

Matthew Coller and Sports Illustrated's Will Ragatz talk about the Philadelphia Eagles firing their head coach just three years after they won the Super Bowl (and beat the Vikings along the way). Does that mean Zimmer should be on the hot seat for 2021 or should the Vikings go the opposite way and lock into him long term? Plus Will ranks the Vikings' defensive needs and talks about whether there's a path to having a good offensive line next year.

Matthew Coller and Paul Hodowanic discuss Everson Griffen tweeting something shocking about Kirk Cousins and Mike Zimmer and whether there is some truth behind his tweets and what it says about how some players felt/feel about Cousins. Plus we overreact to playoff things and talk about whether any teams have the blueprint for the future.

Matthew Coller is joined by AJ Smith, wide receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator of the Houston Roughnecks to talk about what makes a modern NFL offense and what the Vikings can learn from this season. Smith, who worked under Run 'n Shoot legend June Jones, tells the stories of how a gameplan is put together, how analytics dictate gameplanning, how the passing game can set up the run and then Matthew and AJ share Run n' Shoot favorites.

Matthew Coller and ESPN's Courtney Cronin talk about all the things that Mike Zimmer may have meant when talking about miscalculating the offseason, namely relying on players that hadn't been proven in the past. We talk about his refreshing honesty in the postseason press conference but break down some of the explanations that don't exactly match up. Plus we talk about the fans being split between rosey views and very harsh negative views on the team's future.

Matthew Coller is joined by Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus to talk about the Vikings' defense, the bets that they made this year that went belly up, the pairing of Mike Zimmer and Kirk Cousins, what limits Cousins and what could make him better and the old school Vikings that could help the Vikings if they were around these days.

Former Minnesota Viking Jeremiah Sirles goes in depth on what makes a great offensive coordinator based on his experience with Pat Shurmur and Frank Reich. He talks about adapting to players' skills and how Justin Jefferson should be used going forward. What system does Kirk Cousins work best in? How does the next OC need to design his offense and how does Mike Zimmer play into all this?

Matthew Coller and Chad Graff dive deep into the biggest names in Vikings land and what their future holds. What did Mike Zimmer's comments about 7-9 mean? Does Gary Kubiak return as offensive coordinator? How do we look at Kirk Cousins's season? Plus Danielle Hunter, Anthony Barr and the rebuilding process on defense.

Matthew Coller and ESPN's Courtney Cronin talk after the Vikings' win over Detroit about some interesting comments from head coach Mike Zimmer about the team's final record. What's the No. 1 offseason priority, what is the outlook for Justin Jefferson and what did this year mean for Kirk Cousins's future.

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?

Matthwe Coller and Paul Hodowanic break down the Vikings' ridiculous Christmas Day loss to the New Orleans Saints. How did they give up 52 points? Why was this actually a classic 2020 Vikings game. What does it mean for Mike Zimmer? What does it say about how the team was constructed? And who's under pressure now?

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. What approach needs to be taken in the draft, free agency and with Riley Reiff's contract? Is it a better idea to fix the DL in the draft? m

Matthew Coller and Eric Eagar of Pro Football Focus get together to completely break down why the Vikings missed the playoffs, from struggling to decide on a direction to Mike Zimmer's coaching to salary cap issues etc. Plus Matthew takes fan sentiments about defensive injuries, last year's playoff win and drafting and offensive lineman and throws them at Eric.

Matthew Coller and Paul Hodowanic break down how the Vikings lost to the Chicago Bears in maddening fashion in which they continued to run the ball when they needed to throw it and ultimately Justin Jefferson showed some signs of frustrations. And with the Vikings more or less officially out of the playoffs, how do we end up looking at this season? Have we reached a breaking point with Mike Zimmer's style? How much needs to be fixed on the defensive side?

Matthew Coller and Brett Kollmann, who does a terrific NFL breakdown YouTube, dive deep into Justin Jefferson's game. They look at how he's become a top notch route runner and what that says about Jefferson as a player. How he sets up corners, how the Vikings' offense uses him and how many receivers Brett would take over him. Hint: It's not that many.

Matthew Coller is joined by Robert Mays of The Athletic Football Show to talk about whether their pre-season top 10 lists were regrettable and they dive into Kevin Stefanski's success in Cleveland. What if the Vikings had moved on from Mike Zimmer and kept Kevin Stefanski? Plus should the Vikings be looking at quarterbacks in the draft? Is that the route to being a Super Bowl team or should they focus on building an elite defense?
