WEBVTT - Brock Purdy: ‘This Team is On a Mission’ | Press Pass

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>The game in the night you were talking about how

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>when you had some guys out that it was up

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to you to get people in the right place and

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 1>sort of take charge of the situation. And Devo was

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>out and you guys that were missing. Now that they've

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>been out for practice all weekend, you've had these guys

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>practicing in these spots. Is are you do you expect

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>things to go smooth?

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think you know, I've on their part.

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 2>You know, those guys will be ready, you know, just

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>with the reps that they've gotten going in with the

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.279
<v Speaker 2>operational stuff and uh yeah, as simple as that, they'll

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>they'll be ready. And even if you know, Debo and

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Christian are going and stuff, you know, great for us,

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 2>it'll be awesome. But if they're not, all the other

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>guys been preparing great, you know, JP, Ray, Ray, Ronnie Bell,

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>those guys. They look great. So we'll be ready to

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 2>roll for whatever comes in week three.

0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>With the Giants, you saw plenty of ports from that

0:00:59.400 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to this team.

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Even more so, what what's your kind of impressions of.

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe some of the stuff that they run and the

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>way that they.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Can challenge you.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, obviously they love to you know, bring

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 2>the whole house and all the zero looks that they

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 2>got and then being able to bluff out of that

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>and stuff.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>So they do a really good job with it.

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>You know on film it may look like, oh man,

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>there's some space and stuff, but you know, they they

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>do a good job with you know, bracketing stuff and

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>and you sort of just anticipating what teams are going

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 2>to try to do, and.

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 3>So they're really well coached. They do it well.

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 2>And then I think all the players are really smart

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and they know what they're what they're trying to do

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 2>within the scheme. So for us, it's like, man, we

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>gotta be ready for obviously having answers with zero and

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 2>pressure and stuff, but you know, at the same time,

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>like we just gotta be smart for myself.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I gotta be smart with the ball.

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>You know. That's what they're trying to do is pressure

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback, get the quarterback to make you know, some

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>mistakes and stuff. So and they've done that within you know,

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 2>the games that they've played, and they've done that to

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the quarterbacks, getting them to you know,

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>some strip sacks and a lot kinds of stuff.

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 3>So it's a good challenge for Miami. You talk from

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Miami last year, similar.

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Miami, Yeah, yeah, similar scheme for sure. It's slightly different,

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>but you know comes from you know the floor as

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, thought process and stuff, and so we just

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>last year going into that game, it's all right, gotta

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 2>be ready for zero, but you know, they probably won't

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>do it as much. And then once I got thrown in,

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>they did it a lot. So I think it was

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a good experience for myself and then for all the

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>other guys to be ready for those kinds of looks

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 2>and looking for the ball quick and getting the ball

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 2>out of my hands. But at the same time, you know,

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I could this is all a different game, you know,

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>different players and stuff that we're going against. And like

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>I said, these players like they they know the system

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and they'd look comfortable in it, and so they're smart

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 2>and so not the same Miami wasn't Miami was, but

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>it's a little different, just different players.

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Like for you, as far as how much that lost lingers,

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 1>how much you just turn the page and move forward

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and and just your whatever excitement level as far as

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>just getting.

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Back out there, yeah, I mean, yeah, it sucks initially

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>for the first couple of days, especially when we had

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 2>an extra day off, It's like, you feel the guys

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 2>in the locker room wanted to go and practice and

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>get ready to move on. And so our first day,

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>first day of practice yesterday, guys were moving. It's like, man,

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>it feels good. Let's go, let's move on, get ready

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>for this next game. So it felt good in that regard.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not like college, where you know you lose a game,

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 2>and you know every game in college is so huge

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 2>and crucial, and it is in the NFL, but like

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 2>one game can determine, you know, your season in college.

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 2>It feels like with this it's like, all right, we lost,

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>but man, we have a lot to look forward to.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 3>We got to move on quickly. You know.

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>We got a good team ahead of us. So spirit's

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>been good and we just got to keep it going.

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Comes to you processing pretty and post staff.

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>What's the different challenge between facing zone coverage.

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 3>And man and man coverage.

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd say, you know a man and man coverage.

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>As a quarterback, I think it's a little nicer just

0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>because you know where your answers are supposed to be.

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Zone coverage, it could be a little bit, you know,

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>more of a tricky you know, just area just because

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>you got a progression, you know, you got to move

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>on from guys, and guys could be dropping underneath guys. Man,

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>it's like, all right, you know, one guy's covering this

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 2>guy and I have a chance when he breaks and

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>knowing that no one is gonna undercut it or whatever.

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>So that's the biggest difference. But you know, like this

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 2>team is is good because you know they'll show a

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.840
<v Speaker 2>whole everyone coming and then they bluff out and it's like, man,

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I gotta know what side of the field they have to

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 2>be on and and be right. Whereas any other game

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 2>it's almost like, you know, you go through a whole progression.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 2>This game, it's like you gotta be on the right side,

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>you know. So that's where we're at with it.

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>More do they play more zone than you would expect

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>for a team that's as.

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 4>Much as they do.

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel like, you know, their base defense for sure,

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 2>But man, do they love you know, playing in that

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 2>realm of bringing pressure and then hoping, you know, we

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 2>get the quarterback or get guys to mess up and

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 2>then you know, uh, force the ball to be turned over.

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like that's more of what they like

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>to do. But at the same time, it doesn't we

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>can't just go into a game saying they're going to

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>do this, this or that. You know, they've had a

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 2>week to prepare and switch things up, so you never know.

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 4>So I'm sure.

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>You guys went to Kittle a lot and you had

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of success going to Kittle. This year he

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>hasn't gotten as much action. Is it more product of

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.359
<v Speaker 1>what defenses are doing or the array of weapons that

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys have to choose from. Is there a reason

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>that George is not as involved in.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Your mind, man, I think you know, just the scheme

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 2>of things, you know, that's sort of just how we've

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 2>drawn things up.

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 3>That's how really the games have gone.

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Where you know, other guys have popped open and stuff,

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>and George's had helped out, you know, with protection, and

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's done such a good job of doing

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that role, you know, being in protection and checking out

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 2>on the flat and stuff like that. And then when

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 2>his opportunities come we take advantage of it. But man,

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 2>that's just sort of just how how it's gone so far.

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 2>We still have a whole you know, basically, second half

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>of the season coming up, where it's like, man, George

0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 2>can definitely get involved.

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 3>He can get involved at any one in the game.

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 2>So that's just sort of how it's gone. It's not

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>like we go into the game going, Georgie, You're not

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna get the ball. It's gonna be this, this and

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 2>this guy. It's just you know how it's gone.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 3>You know. But obviously he's a threat.

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Everyone does like to scheme him up and try to

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>stop George as best as possible.

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 3>But that's how it's been.

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Years since he traded for Christian McCaffrey.

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 5>Today, in what ways has he changed the team dynamic?

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Made you feel even more confidence, especially for your quarterback.

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been huge for us, you know, just having

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 2>like a running back that can go out of the

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 2>backfield and do all the things that a receiver can do.

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Run routes from the backfield, line up as a receiver

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and slot and do stuff on the outside. You know,

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.840
<v Speaker 2>he's he's a Swiss Army knife man. He does everything

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.039
<v Speaker 2>for us that we ask and he does it really

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>well and he's smart. So obviously it's it's really nice

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 2>to have him since we got him and stuff being

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>able to you know, start to utilize the back out

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 2>of the backfield and things like that. It's just another

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>guy that the defense has to account for in the

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>past game, so that's huge. And then obviously when he

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 2>runs the ball and his toughness and everything, it's on

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 2>another level.

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 3>So very thankful to have him.

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 5>When you went to Minnesota last year for the joint practices,

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 5>proc come a long way since then, So what was

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 5>your mindset going in there to prove to the coaches

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 5>that you deserved a roster spot just to start with.

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it was, you know, still more of a

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 2>camp mindset. You know, yes, we're competing against the Vikings

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>and all that, but man, I was just trying to

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>do the little things right, make the right decisions, be consistent,

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to earn the coaches and my and

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 2>my teammates trusts.

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 3>That's where I was at with that, you know.

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>It was it was a good experience to go out

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 2>there and play against some really good players on the Vikings.

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 2>But you know, a year now later, it's like, all right,

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>this is the regular season. This is a real football game,

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>not just practices and whatnot. So you know that they

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>got some good players I remember, you know, going against

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>a couple of them in practice and whatnot. But this

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>is different. So I think I'm at another point and

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 2>obviously my career being a starter and all that not

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>camp mode kind of mindset.

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 3>So that's where we're at. We're trying to win.

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Straight.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 4>But when you before you became a Strugger last year,

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.119
<v Speaker 4>you would be in the offensive meetings and you would

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 4>note like kind of the body language of guys who

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 4>maybe didn't get much action in the previous game, and

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 4>you've noted that no one was acting ticked off or

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 4>that suggests like, hey, why did they get the ball?

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, is it I guess hopefully we've got the

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 4>story straight. But if so, was that just something you

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 4>did naturally? Was it just something you were curious about

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 4>or you talk about?

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I was just curious, you know, as

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 2>a rookie, you know, I got all this, all these

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 2>guys in a room with you know, just uh some

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 2>stardom really, you know, George Kittle, Deebo, Samuel Brandon Nyuk

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>and just you know, you go into a game and

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 2>it's almost like, all right, George got you know a

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of receptions and touchdowns this game you know, how's

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>DEBO gonna act or how's b A gonna act. So

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I would just sort of be like, this is crazy,

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's fascinating to me. So I sort of

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 2>just looked at looked at guys, saw their body language,

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 2>how they come into meetings, how they leave, and and

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 2>how they were acting at practice and all kind of stuff.

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 2>But like I said before, this team's on a on

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 2>a mission. Man, they don't you know, Ba gets so

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 2>happy when Deba is a great game. Deeba's such a

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>great energy and attitude and Die goes crazy, and same

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 2>with George and all the other guys and Christians. So like, man,

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 2>it's a special group. Obviously we're trying to do the

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 2>whole thing and you know, not just try to you know,

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 2>rack up fantasy points anything like that. Like guys are

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 2>wanting the best for other guys and win, So that's

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 2>what all we care about. So they
