WEBVTT - Christian McCaffrey Reflects on His First Game Back | Press Pass

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>You guys, I'm not sure. I have to just go

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>back and watch the tape and kind of see. I think,

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm just happy, I'm I'm here, man, I

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>mean that was that was a long journey in a

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of long days. So uh, it feels good to

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 1>win and feels good to just play in a football

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>game again. Like, uh, rock through it, you know ring

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>he had. Yeah, it was a great throw. He had

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>pressure in his face, I guess, and you know it

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.279
<v Speaker 1>was perfectly thrown ball. That's that's not easy to put

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>touch on it, to understand, you know, where I'm at

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>on the field and to be able to put that there,

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 1>and you know it's a big play. You try not to,

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. I just try to let everything, you know,

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I try to feel emotions as they come. You know,

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I think I don't really plan anything. I have my

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>routine I have. It's all about my body and just

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>making sure the warm ups on point, and then you know,

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>if excitement comes, be excited, you know. But I try

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to stay even keel And obviously there's a lot of

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>emotion when you play an NFL football game, So I

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>just try to let those come naturally, and you know,

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>but definitely when you miss when you miss time due

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>to something like that, and you know nobody wants to

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>be on the field more than me, just to be

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>out there again, to be honest with you, is just

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to you know, you really realize how much of a

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>privilege it is to to play football. As you tell

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you've thought about trying to cal I never go in,

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, expecting anything. It's just in my numbers called

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>I like to be out there. I think when I

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>go back and look at the tape, I'm sure there's

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be some stuff that just getting back into a

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>field of real game, that's that's the third time I've

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>had pads on in eight weeks, so just uh, getting

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>back into a groove, is it? You know, that was

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>really good for me to do. I think there's a

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of things that maybe I didn't feel like my

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>self a hundred percent, but that's normal when you haven't

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>played in a long time, and I'll learn and grow

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:10.399
<v Speaker 1>from those and just keep keep trucking along. I feel good. Yeah,

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel pretty good. I Uh, I thought I was

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a lot more sore, but we'll see how

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel tomorrow. I never liked saying anything til you

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>wake up that I didn't seem much. I was blocking s.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>But you know, when the game's on the line and

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>thirteen has a ball in his hands, uh, you're in

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a good position. You know. We had some adversity that

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.839
<v Speaker 1>that game, and I think we're all wanting to put

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>together a full unit game, but doesn't always go that way. Uh.

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>And so for him to to win it for us

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>at the end, for Juanda, you know, be able to

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>come back as well and make some big plays, it's

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>huge for us. So, yeah, Brocks, that's just what Brock does.

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>That's good. Har Appreciate it, guys.
