WEBVTT - Brock Purdy Talks #DETvsSF Preparations | Press Pass 0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:05.600 When it comes to trying to diagnose when the lines 0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:06.920 are going to be bringing pressure. 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:09.360 What kind of. 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:11.920 Distinguishes them how they do it as opposed to some 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:12.640 other teams. 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:13.000 You might face. 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:15.120 Yeah, they do a good job, but I think of 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:17.120 you know, sort of holding it and disguising it. 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:20.720 You know, there's there's a lot of looks. 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:22.960 Where it looks like it's just a base coverage and 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.079 all of a sudden, they're bringing guys from you know, 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:29.080 different different directions and stuff when they do blitz Like, 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.839 you know, they have certain coverages that are behind they're blitzes. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:34.519 But like I said, they do a good job with 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.800 bringing different guys and you know, sort of holding their 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.879 water and not showing it. So I think that's the 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:44.600 difference really, you know, across the year, other teams will 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.080 sort of have some tips and includes and stuff, but 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.000 I think these guys do a pretty good job of 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:50.839 you know, sort of switching it up and making it 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.280 hard for the quarterback to recognize it. 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:53.640 So it would be a good challenge. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.600 Why do you feel you and the offense have done 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:56.960 well against the blitzes. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.280 I feel like, you know, we usually go into it 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.640 having a good plan and so the minute they do it, 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.200 and if we're on it, you know, it's I think 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:06.920 it's sort of like a high risk, high reward kind 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.800 of thing for both sides. You know, if we're ready 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:10.920 and have a good plan for it, you know, all 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:12.759 it takes is like a five yard throw or something, 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:14.400 and then we get turned into a big game. You know, 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.560 the couple got short. So we've gone into games where 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.040 you know, defenses that blits a lot. 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:20.160 We usually have a good plan for it. 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.840 So but that's just the receivers and myself, you know, 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.319 being on top of it, and when they give us 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:26.840 those opportunities, we've got to be ready for it. And 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.240 if we're not ready for it, then we can get exposed. 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.280 So this is your first year as starter. You'll let 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.319 this team to an NFC Championship games. You're planal least 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.000 for the m VP. What does I tell you about yourself? 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.320 Man, I've just been taking it one day at a time, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.920 you know, since last year once I stepped into the role. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.760 You know, for me, it's never been about all the 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.320 hype and the glory and all that kind of stuff. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:53.760 It's been about how can I help this team win? 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.360 And you know, I have a really good squad around me, 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.720 and they've helped me get to where I'm at with 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.080 my game and helped me get better. And so so 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.280 you know, here we are, second year in the row 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.320 in the NFC Championship. Very thankful for it, but obviously 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.000 we have a bigger goal of mine and we have 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.760 to handle business this Sunday. So that's where my mind 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:11.240 is at with that. 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.800 What kind of emotional boost does it get the team 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:14.520 that depot is. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:15.160 Good to help. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.880 Yeah, it's huge for us. You know, Deebot is a 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.799 game changer. You know, he's one of the best in 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.480 the NFL at what he does. So obviously for him 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.000 to be able to play, all of us are like, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.519 all right, you know, Deebo brings some juice and energy 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.960 and we got his back and and so obviously seeing 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.280 him run around a practice and look good for us. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.040 It's all right. You know, it's on, So we're excited 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:35.399 for him. 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.520 Emotions or confidence did you get from rewatching the film 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:40.280 of the last drive? 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.679 Yeah, I mean, like I said before, you know, the 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.880 season sort of it's on the line, you know this 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.720 that was probably our last drive that we were gonna 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.520 have in that game, and so all of us. Like 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.160 when you're watching the film, you can just tell like 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.600 everyone's on top of their stuff. Everyone's detailed in every 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.800 move from the O line in their past sets to 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.639 the receivers running to their landmarks and getting to where 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.639 they need to be and then obviously making smart decisions 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:05.520 and not forcing anything. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.000 So you could just. 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.680 Tell there was a lot on the line and I 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.280 think we really we played our best ball in that moment. 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.280 So it's a it was encouraging watching for all of us, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.240 and it's got to keep building and you know, carry 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:18.040 that into this game. 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.920 How did how did you know you talked about on Wednesday, 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.240 maybe you know, not getting to the checkdowns the way 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.040 you wanted to early in that game and then in 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.720 that last stripe you did what caused that kind of 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.960 realization or you know for you to actually execute that? 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.640 Yeah, I feel like, you know, there's times in the 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.760 game where it's like you're aggressive and you can think 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.680 that there's a window there and make a play where in. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:41.760 That moment it was okay. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.720 You know, obviously every decision is on the line here, 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.080 so obviously just go through what the coaches have top 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.440 taught all the quarterbacks and and you know, be smart, 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.680 not that you're going to be timid and conservative, but 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.560 if the defense isn't you know, running what we're looking for, 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.600 then you know, obviously take the checkdown. And I feel 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.560 like during the game it was like, you know, sort 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.800 of looking for a big play periodically. So definitely was 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.400 playing with some conviction on that last drive and and 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.400 I think, you know, it obviously went well if I 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.640 had that same mindset. So some the some the that 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.080 I looked at in the film and learned from it, 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:15.600 so it was good. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.040 Did you learn anything about yourself on that last drive 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.839 or self correcting in the game like that? 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.679 I think, you know, just obviously in the in that moment, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.640 it's you know, everyone makes it a big deal, like, okay, 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.200 this could be it. But for me, it was like, man, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.160 it's football. It's eleven on eleven. I got dudes around 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.040 me that are really good. They're gonna do their job. Well, 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.240 I got to do my job and let's go execute 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:37.000 put a drive together. 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.039 So keeping it simple in the senses is what I 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:40.760 took away from it. What of the next forty eight 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:41.760 hours look like for you? 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.760 I mean the same as really this whole year, just 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.800 in terms of going through my process on a Friday night, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.520 Saturday morning, come for come here for a walk through Saturday, 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.320 and continue to study the plays and everything and and 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.240 uh but at the same time, you know, keep it simple. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.200 You know, all year, I've had a process how I 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.880 handle my stuff and how you're ready for a game, 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.159 and I try not to overcomplicate things and and so 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.240 you know, other than that, you know, I'm gonna just 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.680 go into this game just like have all year. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.480 So I'm excited for it. Superstitious at all. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.720 Do you eat the same food every Friday or anything 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:15.159 like that? 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.600 Uh, I have a routine, but I wouldn't say I'm suspicious. 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.880 So yeah, hearing he talked about like making those decisions 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.680 in the moment, you could kind of say the same 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.000 about the play calling and like what that is. Like 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.600 do you ever talk with coach about that, the similarities 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.279 between him calling plays and making those decisions and you know, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.560 trying to stay you know, use this preparation. Do you 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.640 talk about like that, the similarities between coaching and quarterbacking in. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:42.080 That way at all? 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.520 Yeah? 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.560 You know, I think throughout the week he does a 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.960 really good job with with just explaining why he's calling plays. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.920 What we're trying to attack, you know, sort of, you know, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:54.919 how we feel about plays. He always asks us like 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.920 how we're feeling about it and if we're confident in 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:57.359 running it. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:58.520 So he does a good job with that. 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.279 And then and honestly, when he asked me, like what 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.719 I'm thinking in certain situations and stuff, I tell him 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.760 and I tell him exactly what I was thinking in 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.040 the game and moving forward, you know how I'm how 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.239 I'm feeling about stuff. So we're on the same page 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:13.480 a lot of a lot of the times about a 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.159 lot of things. And you know, for him, like he 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.839 does a good job, like I said, with you know, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.000 making sure that we're all comfortable with running what he's 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.279 calling all of us, not just the quarterbacks but players 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.200 in general, so we all want to play. For me, 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.599 he does a great job with staying on the same 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:32.160 level as us and explaining and explaining what we're attacking 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.000 and what we're trying to do. So he's done a 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.120 good job with that. I think he's one of the 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.599 best in the league of doing it. And we've seen 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:37.159 it for a while. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.120 So how much do you think your experience in college 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.440 playing four years and some big games on the road 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.240 be asked to carry it off as prepared you for 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.760 coming into this and playing in games and circumstances like this. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.000 Yeah, I think you know it was. It was good 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.480 man to be to play four years of college ball 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.000 and like you said, go and play in different environments 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.320 and and stages and levels of you know, the games 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.000 being on a higher level. So for me, I took 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:05.520 a lot away from those kind of games. I think 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.359 it helped sort of build me into who I am, 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.560 just in terms of, you know, finding out what I 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.120 do good and what I don't and how it can 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.040 be better. So I definitely remember a lot of games 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.360 where I feel like it was a high state game 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.280 and and how I performed and and so I can 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.000 sort of go back to those experiences and remember, like, man, 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.520 I should have done this better, or I remember I 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.520 did do that well. So for this game NFC Championship, 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.560 you know, I want to keep it simple, not blowing 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.320 it out of proportion in my mind or anything, but 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.880 you know, at the same time, sort of have some 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.960 juice because like, man, this is a this could be 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.280 a once in a lifetime opportunity, So got to be 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:44.640 excited about that more than anything too. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.240 Can you feel or do you know how much confidence 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:48.080 your teammates haven you? 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:49.320 Uh? 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.520 Yeah, I mean I feel like all all year, you know, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.640 they've been the same guys in the locker room. They've 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.120 they've believed in me since I've stepped in, since last 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.240 year and throughout the year, I feel like. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:01.720 I've grown and we've all grown together. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.920 So definitely blessed to have these guys in the in 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.280 the locker room with me, and and they definitely have 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.040 my back and through the good and the bad. We've 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.920 been through some stuff this year, and it hasn't all 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.320 been pretty. There's been some good times, there's been some 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.640 tough times, but through it all, man, these guys have 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.040 have continued to have my back and show show love 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.560 and and you know we go to war together. 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:22.840 So very thankful for him. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.880 What do you remember from David Montgomery back in college 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.720 and did you give any input to the defense at all? 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.120 But what kind of guy he is? 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.280 Yeah, I mean, David was one of the hardest workers 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.559 I've ever been around. You know, that's the kind of 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.480 guy that just doesn't go down easy. He's always moving 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.959 his feet, explosive, great quick cuts. And this week I 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:46.760 haven't really been able to talk to my defense about that. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.640 I mean, they've seen him, I think a lot, just 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.880 the last couple of years when he was in Chicago, 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.880 so they know who he is. But yeah, I have 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.040 nothing but love and respect for David what he's done. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.040 And and it's a tough dude to to get to 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.360 like he's he's only strong, he's tough physical, and yeah, 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.640 it's gonna be a good challenge to go up against 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:05.080 him again. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.120 Thanks guys, mm hmm.
