WEBVTT - Brock Purdy: ‘Every Game is Different’ | Press Pass 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:04.320 Chemistry developing with pier Song. Do you think he could 0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:04.920 help you guys in. 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:05.640 The red zone. 0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:08.319 Yeah, he's done a really good job obviously being back 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:12.000 and just bringing the juice, going really fast in and 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.680 out of his cuts and creating some really good separation. 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.560 And so obviously we drafted him in the first round, 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.040 and he's got a lot of potential, man, and so yeah, 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.599 for him to get in and and actually be a 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.320 part of our offense, not just a young guy that's 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:28.840 trying to learn his way, but actually trying to make 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.199 an impact pretty like early on man for uh, for me, 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.400 I love it, and it's it's another great option and 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.280 another part of our offense. And so I think obviously, 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.479 you know, tomorrow we'll go through our red zone plan 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.839 and stuff. But to answer your question, like, when you 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:44.680 have a guy like Ricky that can win, you know, 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.519 man and man matchups and then also open up some 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.639 other guys too, that's always a good thing. 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.160 So I'm excited to see what he does. 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:56.480 A game against Philadelphia that from the outside was being 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.000 perceived as this big revenge game because of the obvious 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.480 what happened in the championship game, but within the building, it 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.399 seemed like you guys were pretty much focused on your 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.720 business and not getting into all that what happened the 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.440 year before. Is this a similar situation to that with 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:12.240 the Chiefs. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.080 Yeah, I would say so, only because you know, a 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.000 couple of years ago played the Eagles. It was a 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.720 playoff game, NFC Championship, and then whatever happened happened, and 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.680 then boom, you got a whole you got a whole 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.040 new situation. You got to focus on the twenty twenty 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:31.959 three season. And it's similar deals last year with the 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.679 Super Bowl. That was the Super Bowl. Obviously we wanted 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.520 to win it and everything didn't go our way. But 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.000 now it's twenty twenty four. Man, it's a regular season game. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.200 It's it's it's the next opponent for us. We have 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.200 some some new guys on our team, some guys that 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.800 have left. I've said this before, but like you know, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.120 this is the twenty twenty four to forty nine Ers 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:54.000 going against the twenty twenty four Chiefs, and so for us, 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.840 we're focusing on the next team up. Are we trying 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.480 to go out and get our revenge and get all 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.640 this stuff. That's not our mindset. If it was, I 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.919 think we wouldn't be able to play at our best 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.240 and play at our standard. Our standard is to be 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.200 our best no matter who we're playing right now in 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.560 the present, not looking back in the past, not looking 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.440 too far ahead in the future, but where we're at 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:12.880 right now. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.720 So that's our mindset the chief defense. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.799 But when you look at Patrick Mahomes, do you look 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.120 at him as like an all time great so when 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.840 you're trying to reach or do you look at him 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:23.760 as a peer and equal? 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.560 I mean, I think you know he is who he is. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:28.720 I am who I am. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.680 All the quarterbacks in the NFL, I guess would say 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.520 the same thing. And so obviously for what he's done 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.679 and obviously the Super Bowls that he's won, and and 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.640 just what he's done in in the NFL with his 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.679 plays and his style of play, it's really fun. It's 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.359 fun to watch, and you know, but do I compare 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.440 myself to him or anything like that? 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:47.600 Now? 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.840 I don't compare myself to any other quarterbacks in the NFL. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:51.400 I am who I am, and I'm trying to win 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.240 for the forty nine ers and play my style of ball. 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.160 But obviously I tip my cap to him, and he's 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.640 he's done a tremendous job. Man, He's he's definitely on 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.160 the way up to being uh, one of the greats 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.360 in the NFL as a quarterback, and that's no secret. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.760 And so whenever you get a chance to go up 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.800 against a guy like that on the other sideline, it's 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:10.400 always fun. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.600 So you're good. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:15.040 City Chiefs. 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.520 They're more than like they're going to try to get 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.680 after you, appressure you in this one. How are you 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.079 trying to prepare for that? If you then you can't 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.760 get the details. But the best way to explain your 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.640 plan of a tech knowing that that's coming this time around, 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.880 how's that the preparation for you? 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:30.079 Is? 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.560 Yeah, I mean, uh, obviously in the Super Bowl last year, 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.120 they made some adjustments of going to more man coverage 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.240 and making us win in those kind of matchups, and so, uh, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.360 you know, for us, it's like, all right, obviously we've 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:42.560 got to be ready for that kind of stuff. But 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.480 it's a whole new year, it's a new season, and 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.960 and they're gonna be making their tweaks and adjustments as well. 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.880 So it's not like we're gonna get just that. You know, 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.920 they're gonna come in with their scheme and and try 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.480 to dial some things up against us, and and so 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.000 are we and so for us, it's it's going in. 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.360 It's uh being dialed in every play with with whatever 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.800 the situation is, and playing our standard in our way 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.880 of football. If we could just do our job really well, 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.960 I think everything will fall into place out needs to 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.360 and and we're we're a really good team if we 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.320 can do that. So that's how I'm looking at it. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:13.640 I know all the guys in the locker room are 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.360 doing the same thing, and you know, we just gotta 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.919 be ready for all the situations and uh be on 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.840 top of our plays and and our answers within the game. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.400 You mentioned a. 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:26.960 Theme of the season as far as you see more 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.400 man coverage, and you just mentioned the Chief doing it 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.000 more in the Super Bowl last year. You get the 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.360 sense of all that maybe teams are kind of trying 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.120 to follow. 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.599 Some sort of I don't even get it much against 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.640 Minnesota and Seattle, but you get the sense that the 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.599 teams are maybe following them or is it maybe just 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.479 more coincident all in the first six games. 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.919 I mean, I think it, you know, depends on the 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.840 team and their scheme and their personnel and if they 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.800 think they can match up against you know, our guys 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.640 and man coverage and stuff or not. And every team 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.880 is different, and so it just comes down to the 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.320 moments how they're coming in and what they're playing of 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.839 attack is from the from the jump and then making adjustments. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.400 So like that's that's every game and it and that'll 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.200 be the case moving forward with every team that we play. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.800 So but with that being said, I feel like we 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.159 have seen some more man coverage and stuff, and honestly, 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.719 I think we've done a pretty good job still of 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.760 finding ways to move the ball. Even though we do 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.720 see more man It's not like man coverages are kryptonite 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.839 or anything like that. I still think we got really 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.279 good ballplayers that can create separation and and we find 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.240 ways to win. And so every team is different. I 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.000 can't promise a team is going to run this because 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.159 of what the Chiefs did in the Super Bowl. So 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:34.320 every game is different. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:36.000 You made your. 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.039 Debut against Kansas City Pays a couple of years ago. 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.719 What do you remember about that And do you ever 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.279 when your home relax and just allow your mind to 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:44.960 go back to. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.320 That that moment when. 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.719 Yeah, you know, we sort of joke about it actually, 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.839 just because when I did get thrown into that game, 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.920 you know, it my first real regular season action, and uh, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.599 I just remember it was pretty fast. The game is 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.080 fast for me. My feet we were moving really fast, 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.440 and you know, I just remember seeing like Frank Clark 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.440 and some of the guys. I'm like, man, these guys 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.160 are still in the game. Like I'm in at the 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.440 end of the game and they're still in and and uh, 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.120 like just my mind was was. 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:14.960 Going pretty fast. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.279 So just to see like how I was feeling and 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.320 everything in that moment, from from that like moment a 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:21.800 couple of years ago all the way till now. 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:23.920 Uh, it's pretty funny. 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.599 But also like for me, I take pride in like 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.120 learning and the growth and the process of this whole 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.719 thing of playing in the NFL week to week and 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.240 getting better with my fundamentals and being able to actually 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.960 thrive in those kind of situations and and in the 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.480 moments you know, those are that's progress, man, that's that's 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.400 getting better. And so look back on it and and 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.160 uh sort of chuckle about some stuff, but yeah. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.320 Is pretty distinct in what the Vikings are doing. But 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.640 how much do you think if at all, that sort 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.680 of game where there's a ton thrown at you, it's 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.400 pretty unpredictable. How much do you think that helps in 0:06:58.480 --> 0:06:59.360 terms of preparing for. 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.320 Someone like, yeah, I think I mean, man, it's those 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.960 are two different schemes, that's for sure, but uh, you know, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.040 just I think it goes back to just like the 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.120 simple mindset of just being on top of your play 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.360 every play, you like in the details and where's my 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.680 answer per coverage and what's going on? You know, the 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.480 Minnesota game is that's such a great experience of going 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.560 through every single play something different can happen, and I 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.040 have to get to this this guy or that guy. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.120 And so when it comes to the Chiefs and how 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.560 Spags is going to call the game, like, uh, it's 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.280 the same thing for me at quarterback, Like I have 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.560 to get to my answers. I have to go through 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.920 my progressions when I can and and you know, obviously 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.200 just take what the defense is given me and and 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.040 not trying to force it and do too much. And 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.760 so two different schemes, but similar mindset in terms of 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.800 I have to find my answer within every play and 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.480 every coverage heard game did not. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.080 Reveal anything to you or anybody about the importance he 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.720 has in this offense for what he's done through six games. 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.240 Yeah, I mean just knowing that, you know, he's he's 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.960 a physical runner, and obviously when the gaps in the 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.720 in the c's part, like, that's great for any running back, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.720 but with Jordan, it's when the gap isn't there, he's 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.600 still gonna push for another five six yards or break 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.960 a couple of tackles like that's the mark of. 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.320 A great running back in the NFL. Man, that's not easy. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.760 And so when he went down, it's like, man, you know, 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.720 obviously we love that part of him, but we have 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.600 some young guys behind him that you know, need to 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.480 step up and do their part. And I think, uh, 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.000 Garndo did that, Patrick did that. You know, they came in, 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.680 they played physical and and uh but obviously you just 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.120 love JP's mentality because he does it every play and 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.760 every running back is a little different, but that's what 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.640 he's really good at. And so you know, when he 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.079 went down, it's like, dang, you know, uh, that is 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.360 pretty valuable, valuable for us in the run game. And 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.640 but you know, we always have the next guy up 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.880 and we're ready to to give the next guy a shot, 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.600 and we always got each other's back. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.840 So it was what it was. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.000 And then in the Thursday night game, but we're excited 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.120 that he's healed up and got some rest and ready 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:03.320 for this. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.680 One has always been extremely complimentary of your play, and 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.600 this week he said that you have no weaknesses. 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:14.280 Would you agree with his assessment of your I would disagree. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.160 I think I definitely got stuff to work on and 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.560 get better at. I appreciate the comments, but there's always something, 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.560 like in the NFL, there's always something, yeah, to get 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.960 better at, and and you know as a quarterback too, man, 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.240 that you can never be perfect. You know, there's always something, 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.800 So I appreciate it, but yeah, I gotta get better too. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.199 Number show that this Chiefs defense sometimes gives up points 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.760 early and then gets better and better as the game 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.360 goes on. Does the film show that? Is there anything 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.160 on the film that they do differently as the game 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:45.920 progresses that helps them? 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:46.720 Man? 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.480 I think you know, they're just they have a lot 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.280 of experience within playing playing within the scheme. A lot 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.720 of the guys that have been there, they understand, you know, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.920 how their coordinators call the plays and and where they 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.080 need to be. It's a very you know, sounded discipline defense. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.560 And you know, I think for them maybe I don't 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.559 know for sure, I'm not you know, in their meetings 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.600 or anything, but it might be the bend but don't 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.280 break kind of defense. And and uh, when when the 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.400 game matters and it's on the line, you know they're 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.439 they're the the side of the ball that needs to 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.240 get it done. And their defense has shown that in 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.000 the last couple of games in the in this season, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:23.040 so definitely do see it. They haven't given up many points. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.920 And like I said, they all have a lot of 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.520 experience together and they play and they tie together really 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.200 well just across the board. So, uh, one of the 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:32.920 best defenses that will see this year for sure. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:34.680 Thanks Gott.
