Purple Daily | a Minnesota Vikings podcast · Biggest takeaways from Day 2 of Minnesota Vikings training camp! · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

The chapter just didn't get written properly because,

If he's going to be more open to that this year, and this is where we're going to see during training camp, you got to find the strengths.

I do think as Kyler maybe gets more comfortable, and this is just my guessing and assumption here, as he gets more comfortable and if he does end up peeling away and it does look like he'll be chosen for QB1, I'm curious to see if then KOC will maybe say, OK, you're comfortable now in the shotgun and you're looking better.

Let's try to work in more under center because that's what I maybe want more.

Like, it's going to be that that tug of war of going back and forth and finding a good middle ground.

But to your point, the fact that he looks like he's going to be catering to the specific attributes and the skill sets of the two guys right now is it's pretty encouraging to me, at least.

So I think it should be for a lot of people.

Yeah, absolutely.

One of the things that you sort of mentioned off camera and before we were recording was in terms of like the shotgun snaps, you mentioned there potentially is a center issue because Blake Brandl, his snaps at a shotgun aren't the most accurate right now.

And I wanted to get your thoughts on that and let you expand on what you noticed there.

again just just to sort of monitor during the camp if we can get some improvement with that uh brando who again working in camp as a starting center for the first time in his life sticking on offense in the quarterback position here before we kind of move on to maybe some defensive side of things one like i mentioned before the show we were kind of just chatting back and forth with our powwow and one like one little sentence that we just glossed over and it really come it's been sticking in my brain you mentioned that carson wentz had a good day

Yeah, talk about that, because I think you said that he might have been the best quarterback, actually, on Thursday.

Do you think he was playing like a guy who thinks he's going to move up to the QB2 role at some point after a quarterback battle is decided and somebody's potentially traded?

Or was he playing like a very confident, relaxed QB3?

Hey, before we get to some defensive talkers that you wanted to highlight here, I know you are out at TCO Performance Center, but when you're out on the road and you're maybe not at TCO Performance Center for training camp this summer, you might be depositing some money into a bank.

And what bank are you going to be using for that stuff?

Blake Cashman, the next name I want to talk about because you mentioned to me that he was all over the field yesterday on Thursday at training camp practices.

Talk about what you noticed out of him.

I mean, what's the quote that he had, I think, back on Tuesday?

He was asked, like, you know, what went into the thought process of signing with the Vikings?
