Edition of Purple Daily presented by Plunkett's Pest Control. Judd has been ruminating, has been processing his handwritten camp notes from yesterday. He's gone viral on the Purple Daily Instagram account already. Oh, really? I think it's over, like, I think your initial report's over, like, 100,000 views on the Purple Daily Instagram account. Wow. Nice job, Judd.
I got to check that out.

All right, dudes. Judd's Camp Notes. Let's get right into it. Where do you want to start here on this Camp Notes journey, Judd?
We have to start at quarterback. I think we absolutely 100% have to. There's other Camp Notes. Don't get me wrong. But, I mean, it's all about the competition. It's all about the competition.
I'll give you your music bed here too. Cause Declan's at target field. So you're flying, you're flying with me here today, baby.
There we go. Let's go. All right. All right. So, so let's start day one now, now just to set the scene here. Okay. These are, there are, what, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, there are, Saturday, there are four days where they basically say you can't wear pads. So these are practices in shorts, I think they might have shells on, that's about it. They're just very light. Wednesday's practice, around 90 minutes in stifling heat, first day of full pads, Monday. So take this with a grain of salt, but nonetheless, take it, because I tracked everything. And Phil tracks some stuff too, which is great.
That's right.
All right. So the first snaps. Who took the first snaps at QB? I believe Phil has a write that down. Or I think you did have a write that down about this. Kyler Murray takes the first snaps. In fact, he completed about a 30-yard pass. Very nice. 30-yard pass to Jordan Addison, who had a great day in camp on his opening teamwork. So what they did was we've got a session of teamwork. we've got a seven on seven period, and then period nine, and the entire practice was nine periods with two hydration breaks, period nine went back to being teamwork. So Kyler got the first snap. The end, the snap counts at the end. Told not to track these, right? So keep this between us because I don't want O'Connell finding out and being mad at me.
The snap counts, Kyler Murray took 22, 16 in team, six in seven on seven. Some people don't count seven on seven. I'm counting everything I can. J.J. McCarthy, 18 snaps, 12 in team drills, 6 in 7-on-7. The four fewer snaps became, I think largely because practice time ran out, because they were doing team drills and it was Murray, 4, if I'm not mistaken, McCarthy, 4, Murray, 4, and then the double horn sounded. So that was it. That's practice. Before you guys chime in, do you want the unofficial passing stats?
How did the first‑day snap counts break down between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy?
You know we do, Judd. I mean, that's a foolish question. I know.
I'm trying to set up some tension. There's an audience here. I've got to serve the audience. I'm trying to set up some tension. Kyler Murray, unofficially 10 for 17.
