WEBVTT - 1st & 10: Brock Purdy Expected to Start Throwing Program in Week 2 of OTAs

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to the forty nine Ers First and

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>ten Podcast, ten minutes of the most up to date

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 1>forty nine Ers news first Thing in the morning. I'm

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>your host, Brianna McDonald, and I'm joined by forty nine

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Ers team reporter Lindsay Polaris. In today's episode, we are

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>welcoming the faithful to week two of OTAs. This week,

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the forty nine Ers OTA sessions take place on May

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>thirtieth and thirty first, then June second, and the team

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>will have an open practice today the thirty first for

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.239
<v Speaker 1>the media to watch and report on. Lindsey, as you

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>take the practice field today, what are some things that

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be keeping your eye on.

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeap Bray, I think the thing everyone has circled on

0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>their calendar that may tentatively happen today is the quarter

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Rock Party is likely going to be starting his throwing program.

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.279
<v Speaker 2>That was news that came out of last week's open

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 2>OTA practice.

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Again, everyone pretty vague about it, but head coach.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Shanahan said he's expected to start throwing sometime this week.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>In terms of open practices, the only one we can

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>observe would be today. So my best guess is that

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 2>we will see brock Purty finally switch out the tawel

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 2>that he's been training with and opt for.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 3>That football, which is all very exciting news.

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I know that in the off season that three month

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>post surgery benchmark was one that head coach Kyle Shanahan,

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 2>general manager John Lynch, and brock Purty himself we're all

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>pointing towards as that big date when he could finally

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>pick up a football and start practicing those throwing motions.

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>He actually had his surgery on.

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>March tenth, so if we're counting down by dates, he

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 2>is a little bit ahead of schedule. But again, during

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>those press conferences last week, all three were pretty hesitant

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 2>to say that brock Purty is ahead of schedule. We

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>heard Kyle Shanahan say that he's on schedule, and then

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>brock Purty again also pretty vague, but he said he's

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 2>going by what doctors and physical therapists are telling him

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and that they've been great throughout his entire recovery process.

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so should we see Brock out on the field

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>making passes today? Like you said, he'd be on track

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>with his rehab schedule, and that the team and head

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>coach Kas Shanahan are anticipating for him to be ready

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to go by week one of the regular season. Here's

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>what Brock Purdy had to say about his recovery timeline.

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm not necessarily sure, like in terms of, you know,

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 4>the timeline and are we on schedule. We've just been

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 4>taking it, you know, from what the physical therapists, surgeon,

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 4>what they've said, what it looks like with guys that

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 4>they've worked on, like, hey, this is like the next step,

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 4>and we've just been following the play in and really

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 4>it's just how your arm feels on a day to

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 4>day basis and a week to week basis, and you

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 4>go from there and you make decisions from there. So

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 4>that's just where we're at. I feel good, arm is

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 4>feeling good. So to say I'm going to be ready

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 4>by this time or this time, I just you know,

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 4>we're not trying to label any kind of timeline like

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 4>that for sure, though, Like that's a that's a goal,

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 4>right to you want to be ready for you know,

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 4>the season, and if that's the case, great, But like

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 4>I said, we're just staying it one day at a time.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So as San Francisco's off season program began, Brock's been

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>more so behind the scenes while recovering and learning in

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>team meetings. How excited do you think he is to

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>pick up a football again and participate alongside his teammates.

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think it's one of the things that

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>we've heard from Rock Party throughout this entire rehab process

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 2>that one of the biggest challenges for him was to

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>find that patience in himself because he wants to be

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>out there with the team, and he's told us himself

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>in press conferences and we've heard it from the head

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 2>coach as well. He's as involved as he is physically

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 2>capable of being at this point. So he's in meetings,

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>he's watching film, he's you know, doing everything he can

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>with the towel drills.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 3>So I think he's chomping at the bit brat you know.

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I know that he is one of the most studious

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 2>players that the forty nine ers have. That's been something

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 2>that they've been really proud of with Brock Purty. But

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>at some point you want to stop, you know, just

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>studying and actually get out to the practice field, I

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 2>would imagine. So my guess is that he's pretty excited,

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>But you know, Brock Purtty. He is cool, calm and

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 2>collected always. That is one of the things that's kind

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 2>of become his signature. So even when he talks about it,

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 2>it's with tempered expectations. But my guess is, you know

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 2>he's pretty excited.

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 3>To be out there.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely. Well, while we're talking offense, we saw last

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 1>week that seventh round draft pick Ronnie Bell really shined

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>on the field and he was active with the team's

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver group. Who else from the rookie class are

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you going to keep your eye on in today's practice?

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I think my eyes are actually on the secondary.

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>So we saw a really nice flash from cornerback Darrell

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Luder Junior. He had a nice pass breakup last week.

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious to see what he builds on this week.

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 2>And then I think we're all really excited to see

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>what safety day or Brown brings to the table. He

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 2>was one of two gold helmet prospects for the forty

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 2>nine ers, so a consensus draft pick for the front

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 2>office in the coaching staff. So I think everybody's just

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>eager to see what he can do out on the field,

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>how he's adjusting and acclimating to these pro level practices. Obviously,

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 2>no contact allowed yet in these OTAs, so everything is

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 2>a little bit watered down, but you want to see

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>flashes from your rookies. And then I think also everybody's

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>continually going to have eyes on kicker Jake Moody.

0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 3>We don't get to see a ton of special teams practices.

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 2>During the workouts, but I'm curious to see some more kicks.

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.479
<v Speaker 2>He's been doing really great from what we've been able

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to observe during those open periods.

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 3>So just a few guys to keep an eye on today.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, two players that defensive coordinator is Steve Wilkes trying

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to light on when it comes to the defense is

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 1>d lineman Drake Jackson and Javon Kinlaw. He said that

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>they've really been committed to the team's off season program

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and they've been putting that work in. Wilk said they're

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 1>looking great, although these OTA practices are non contact. What

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>did you take away from seeing the defensive line last week?

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>I think, if nothing else, just the energy, the enthusiasm.

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>It's all there, and like you mentioned, with offensive line

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:47.039
<v Speaker 2>as much as defensive line OTAs in this whole off

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 2>season programing. Before we get to training camp probably hinders

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.840
<v Speaker 2>these two groups the most because without contact, you can't

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 2>really practice.

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 3>What is the heart of each of these positions.

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, But you always see coach Chris Kasiak and coach

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Tap out there. They're screaming, they're yelling, they're excited, and

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the players really feed off of that

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>competitive energy.

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:11.679
<v Speaker 3>You see it from them.

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 2>And head coach Kyle Shanahan said last week in his

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 2>presser as well that he was very, very satisfied not

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>just with participation level, but also enthusiasm, willingness to be there,

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>and the fact that pretty much everyone is at to

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>OTAs and again this is all a voluntary portion of

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the off season programming. I think that's a really good sign.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 2>And you mentioned Drake Jackson pretty much consense. His takeaway

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>is that over this offseason he's put on a little

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 2>bit of muscle weight. That's something that head coach Kyle

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Shanahan and coach Wilbs both mentioned was a good thing.

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>And as far as Javon Kinlaw, basically everybody's seen him

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>in the building just continually working this offseason. So again,

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of enthusiasm for those two guys on the

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>defensive line.

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>The long told story in the NFL is that once

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a player reaches their second year of playing in the league,

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that they shake off all that rookie dust and they

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>just make a huge jump in that sophomore year. Who

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>are you looking for to make that big progress for

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty three season, Yeah, Ry, I think you've.

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Got a lot of players to choose from.

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 2>I think we saw a pretty immediate impact from offensive

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 2>line and Spencer Burford. He was splitting time with Daniel

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Brunskill last season, so I'm really curious to see his

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 2>development and.

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 3>What's going to happen at that right guard position.

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>So it could be a breakup with another veteran that

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>was brought in, it might go all the way to

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Spencer Burford. I think everything is up in the air,

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>so we'll see what happens there. I'm also curious to

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 2>see a Sam Wollmack, who I think made also a

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>pretty big slash his first year on special teams.

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:53.319
<v Speaker 3>I think he.

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Had a couple of very very timely plays on special

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>teams that caught a lot.

0:08:58.840 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 3>Of people's attention.

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious to see his competition for that open nickelback

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 2>position in the secondary.

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it could go either way. There, so somebody

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 3>to look at.

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, a lot of rookie players from last season

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.080
