WEBVTT - Brock Purdy Talks ‘Mindset’ Against the Seahawks | Press Pass

0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I guess Rock, You're you're private l against the Seahawks,

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>And I know it's obviously a team sport and stuff,

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 1>but I mean, how much pride do you take in

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>having beaten a division rival that well?

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I mean they're they're a great organization,

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>great team. I got really good players, and so it's

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.319
<v Speaker 2>never easy. I'll tell you that it's not. You know,

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I think we've had some success going against them, but

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>it's it's always been a dog fight and it's never

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 2>just been given to us or anything. So and we

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>know that we feel like that's the case with you know,

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 2>our whole division, especially this year. So great team, and

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>there's never a moment where we walk into this game

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>going you know, it's going to be given to us

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>or anything. Like we know the history of the forty

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 2>nine ers and the Seahawks and and you have to

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 2>have the right mindset going into this game or else

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can get exposed.

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 3>So, yeah, you're four.

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 4>And oh this year, when you don't fumble the ball

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 4>or throw an interception, I think you're sixteen and o's

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 4>that you've been here in those situations when you hear

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 4>those numbers, what's the first thing that comes to mind.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it makes sense. You know, if you win

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the turnover battle, I forgot what the stat is, but

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, like it's almost an automatic win. And

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>so for me, that's my job and I take pride

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 2>in that and those games where you know, you know,

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 2>turn the ball over anything like that, and you're protecting

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>the team, you're protecting offense, and your defense can then

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>go out and create turnovers and you can feed off

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>each other. So like that that's a huge part of

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the game. And so it makes sense, and that's probably

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>the case with a lot of teams around the league.

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, the quarterbacks that play smart and do their

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>job and put up points without turning the ball over,

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have a really really high chance of winning.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 3>So that's the goal. Every week a.

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 5>New regime they brought in, you've played them one time

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 5>and then you played the other regime before. Was it

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 5>like preparing for an entirely new defense or is it

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 5>was there some carryover?

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was the scheme was different, for sure,

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 2>but like going against the players and stuff, we sort

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>of knew how some guys were. But you know, in

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>the NFL, man this game is a really big deal

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>with you know, how they play certain coverages, leverages, you know,

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 2>how they're you know, their run defenses and how they're

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>filling in the gaps like all that stuff is slightly different.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 2>So that was, you know, a new challenge for us

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>and in studying them and trying to scheme up them

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>compared to the years past. But you know, going back

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>and watching some stuff in Baltimore and stuff like sort

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>of just trying.

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>To put it all together.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>And then obviously all the games that they've played this

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>year so far, we have some good tape on them

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>and everything. So but it was a challenge, especially going

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 2>on a Thursday night game. But you know, this time around,

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, hopefully we can you know, just build off

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 2>of the game plan from last time and and have

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 2>a feel for him. But I mean it's our second

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 2>time going against some in this scheme, so you know,

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>it's still a challenge for us.

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 3>As always, the red zone.

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 6>Production hasn't been where you want to, but Georgia has

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 6>kind of been a constant for you this year, and

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 6>even when you took over, he scored a lot more

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 6>touchdowns than he did previously. How were you, guys able

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 6>to kind of develop that you know, connection that you

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 6>have and where is your trust level in terms of

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 6>you know, George specifically.

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, uh, you know, when you go down there, man,

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 2>just the tight end, his frame and everything, and how

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>explosive he is his hands. You know, he's a he's

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 2>a really good matchup against guys down there, especially when

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.959
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, tighter and in the red zone.

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 3>You don't have a lot of room for air or anything.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>And so when you have a guy that is a

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 2>good mismatch as a quarterback, it makes you comfortable and

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.799
<v Speaker 2>like knowing that, right I have an outlet with you know, Kittle,

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 2>And so it's been you know, really just going through

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>my progressions and trusting in Kyle and trying to get

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>George in the right matchups and and getting them the

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>ball and giving him an opportunity. He's come down with

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 2>some crazy catches and and so for me it's it's

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>almost like, you know, I have my my tight end,

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>has my checkdown down there, you know, knowing that George

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>is gonna find a way and and give me a chance.

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>And so it's obviously really nice and hopefully we can

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 2>continue our connection and growth together.

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 6>You see toe taps. A lot of receivers you don't

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 6>necessarily see tight ends. How unusual is it to have

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 6>somebody who is making clays like that in those situations?

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, for a tight end for how you know,

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>big he is and the run blocking and all the

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>stuff you have to do as a gritty tight end

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 2>to then go and toe tap you know, on the

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>sidelines and jump up and make acrobatic catches and stuff

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 2>like that's unheard of, dude, And uh, you know he

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>does that on a weekly basis, it seems like. And

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>so you know, George is a future Hall of Famer man.

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 2>So I'm very thankful to be playing with him. And

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 2>and you know, like I said, I hope I can

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 2>continue to feed him and and and continue to grow together.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.039
<v Speaker 7>Change your wow.

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Silly?

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 7>He is silly, right, There has to be.

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 4>A serious side.

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 6>What have you learn from him? Whether it's just the

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 6>business of the NFL or.

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, just the wisdom he's been able to partant

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 4>to you.

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean he's uh, he's done a lot sort

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>of just taking me under his wing, be like a

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, older brother, and just sort of give me

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 2>the the layout of everything of of what this business

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 2>is and what it looks like, and obviously how to

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>treat people, what to do, what not to do off

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>the field stuff and how to handle just the spotlight

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 2>and everything and what he does that helps him, you know,

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>center back in to what matters most with his family,

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>friends and football. Like, he's given me some really good

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 2>advice and continues to It's not it wasn't just a

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 2>one time thing when I was a rookie. Like, he

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>continues to do that, and I'm very appreciative of that.

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.039
<v Speaker 2>And and you know, obviously he's got the fun, you know,

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.479

<v Speaker 2>at this level and he does what's best for obviously

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.359
<v Speaker 2>the team and himself and his family. And so I

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>respect you know, how he goes about what he does.

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, obviously the treatment on his body, studying, performing

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 2>all of it.

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Man, you see it.

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm extremely blessed to you know, be a

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 2>teammate of his and for him to you know, teach

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 2>me the ropes.

0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 6>Back at practice now for a second week.

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 8>Do you see a difference in what it does for

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 8>everybody else?

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 4>Does it elevate everybody else.

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 6>What does that bring just to every practice day?

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean he goes hard, you know, every rep,

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>does everything right. You know, he doesn't mess up or anything.

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 2>And so when we see, you know, the standard that

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>he's playing at for all of us, we're like, all right, man, Like,

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, Christian's back and we just got to do

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 2>our job really well.

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>And when we get.

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Him the ball, let's you know, make sure the block

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 2>blocking is right for me. It's how can I give him?

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Give him a accurate ball and transition so that he

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 2>can get the most yak as possible. Is it's like

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>all those little things that you sort of start to

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>see everybody elevate their game with. And so it's crazy

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>what uh, you know, when a person comes back like

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>of his caliber, what it does to our team man,

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 2>and and and everybody elevating their game. So obviously, Exhume,

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>we happy to have him back for everything that he

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 2>does for us. But more than anything, we've got so

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 2>much respect for you know, how he goes about his

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 2>business and being such a great teammate that he is.

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 4>When you and your wives and George went on a

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 4>vacation during the bye week, did was there any football?

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 4>Did you guys throw by patterns or or talk ball

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 4>or did you kind of agree ahead of time we're

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 4>gonna we're not doing that.

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 2>We both brought a football, like without telling each other.

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:07.919
<v Speaker 2>He was like, I brought a football, and I was like,

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>so did I and so just in case, but we

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 2>flew in together.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 3>We golfed together one day. But outside of that, we were.

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, just a way away just with our wives

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>on our own and and just getting away from football.

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we obviously just brought a football to

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 2>to hold in touch and not forget what it feels like.

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>But uh, that that was about it. We didn't throw

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 3>or anything, so we got away.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 8>Chemistry with Christian McCaffrey. That throw to the right sideline

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 8>that you kind of arped over, he said that it

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.559
<v Speaker 8>was you know, it was halfway there before he looked

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 8>when he looked back to catch it. Is it just

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 8>your trust in him that you've already had built up

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 8>from the past that you knew he was going to

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 8>be there.

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 3>For sure?

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean we've ran that route, you know, so

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>many times from camp to games in the past, and

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>obviously it just goes to you know, a testament to

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, his detail, Like I know where he's going

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 2>to be because every time he runs that practice on

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>air against a defender, like he just he gives me

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 2>an indicator like there's like subtle movements because he does

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 2>it constantly. And so for me in that moment, it

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 2>was just all about trust because I knew where he

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be and how he runs the route,

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know, that's the kind of guy he is.

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>So he's he you know, has set those kinds of

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>plays up for me. So if it is off schedule

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 2>or anything, I know where he's supposed to be. And

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 2>so that's just the chemistry and trust that we've built,

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>and you know, hopefully we can continue to have that

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 2>going forward.

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>Last week because he obviously hasn't practiced much in the

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>last couple of months.

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we'd we'd ran it last week at practice, but

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 2>going back to you know, watching last year and then

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 2>the reps that he did have at camp early on,

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 2>like uh, those were all those are all.

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Reps that we've gotten together.

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 2>So once he came back, we're like, all right, this

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.199
<v Speaker 2>plays back up and we're like all right, sweet.

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 7>So a little bit at his faith and like how

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 7>certain things have happened to him since the shooting or

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 7>with the shooting that like he just doesn't think our coincidences.

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 7>Does he talk to you about that at all or

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 7>if not, Like, do you like kind of feel the

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 7>same way when you look at his story.

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's talked about it to me, and I totally

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>agree with him, man, And obviously I'm a believer in God,

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 2>and and uh, you know, to see him go through

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 2>that and then to get back and just the story

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.679
<v Speaker 2>that he has, like I'm not like, there's no way

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>that's just a coincidence. Like that's just my firm belief.

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 2>And I know he's told me that, and he told

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 2>all the guys that, and to see him back playing

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 2>and in his story, man, it's it's something bigger than football.

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 2>It's bigger than you know, what we're doing here right now.

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 2>It's it's way bigger than that. We're still sort of

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure it out and we'll see what happens

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 2>with it all. But uh, yeah, if you ask us

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>if it was God, so thank God
