WEBVTT - Brock Purdy Talks Preparation for NFC Championship vs. Eagles | Press Pass

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>You think that the Cowboys were the best defense you

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>faced to date, and if so, how do you that's

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of prepared you for your opponent? Yeah, um, I do.

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>I think they you know, I had a great front. Um.

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought their secondary was really you know, talented and skilled.

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Um so all around, I think their scheme was really

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.439
<v Speaker 1>was really good too. So UM, I do think it

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>was one of the best defenses that I've seen that

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>our team is seen this year. Um. And obviously you

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:33.879
<v Speaker 1>know this week is gonna be a great challenge with

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the front that you know, Philadelphia has, so UM, I

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a good game to have and you know,

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to work through and learn from. Um, you know for

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>this week's matchup. I said that you backward before the

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Seattle game were a silent count that week and he

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>even then was thinking like this could be good because

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we may play Philly n s. Which did he mentioned

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that to you at the time? And what is the

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>key to you know, being good? Yeah? Um, you know,

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>when we played Seattle that week and everything he did say,

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 1>it was a good preparation for what you know, we

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>were um or what we might have to you know,

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 1>play in in terms of the playoffs. You know, going

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>on the road for road games and obviously for Philadelphia. UM,

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's just everything, like everything you know in these

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of games all about communication. How can you operate smoothly,

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>get get in and out of the huddle, get the

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>playoff in the right way, make sure everyone's on the

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>same page. So that's definitely a big emphasis this week,

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>just at practice with the little things the details of

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>communicating and being on on point. UM. And that starts

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>with the cadence. So it's gonna be huge for us.

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>The handset went out or something, yes, yeah, so does

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>that happen a lot? How do you handle it? What

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>do you? What do you? I mean, it was really

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>just you know, a personnel issue that we had. We're

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to get the right amount of guys on the

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>field and um, you know, obviously the play clock was

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>going down and so just came one of those things

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>where you know, we got to play in a little

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>late and we just ran ran what I heard, UM,

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't the exact right play. UM. But in

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the moment, like that's just honest, players, I feel like,

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, to be prepared and know what coaches trying

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>to call, UM and those kind of things. I put

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that more on myself than anything. But um, you know,

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I think other than that, you know, Kyle does a

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>great job of getting to play in and and everything

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>operating pretty smoothly. But uh, there was a couple of

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>other times, you know, early in the year. Um, but

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>we got to play off in the right way. That

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>was the first time we didn't get to play in

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and then we ran the wrong play. So, um, you know,

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>it happens, it's it's part of the game. But we

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>want to do our best to eliminate those kind of

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>things from happening. So you saw, you can see yourself.

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:44.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it. Even then you call your own

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>play no, no, whatever he calls. I, you know, have

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>full faith and trust and I run it. So yeah,

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to training camp, and remember you didn't get many opportunities obviously,

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>probably about times or tent of that. So how did

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you deal with that? Was it frustrating? And just how

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>did you try to maximize the opportunities? Yeah, I mean

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>at the time, obviously, um, you know, trading Nate were

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>taking the majority of the reps and so I got

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of plays at the end of each period.

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>But for me, it was you know, how can I

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, do the reps that I have to the

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>best of my ability to everything the little things right, Um, nothing,

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't make it more than what it was. I

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>just kept a simple went through my reads and showed

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>them that I can take care of the simple plays

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>that they give me, you know, throughout practice and stuff.

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>So but definitely want of the you know, have the

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>opportunity that I had to show them, Um, you know

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that could play. So that was just about building trust.

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Back then. College game against Okahoma when you jail, when

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you want against each other. Any memories that say that

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>from the game, Yeah, Um, it was a game you know,

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>just you know, obviously there was a lot of points scored.

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was almost like, um, you had to

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>score every single time you had the ball. Almost, Um,

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, different situation and scenario than what we're about

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>to go through, you know on a Sunday, but um,

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>you know it was. It was a fun college game.

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Was a great experience to go against you know, Jalen

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and they had a great team and he was making

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>plays and stuff, and feel like we had to do

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the same to keep up and stay live in that game.

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>As well, but um, you know this is a different situation,

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, different scenario going into Sunday. Was act a

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>couple of times early through a bunch after that never

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>were was sacked again. Was that just a matter of

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you realizing you might have to get the ball out sooner?

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Was there an adjustment in lake calling and how would

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you account for that? Yeah, I would say it was

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a it was a mix of both things. Um. You know,

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a reality for myself in terms

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of knowing like, I can't hold onto the ball all day, Um,

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I have to be in rhythm. I have to be

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in time within the play that's called. UM, and help

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>my old line out by giving them confidence by getting

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball out, allowing them to you know, get settled

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in the game early. Um. And then also you know,

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Collinson plays after that a lot that's set up

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you know the past game later so that the offensive line, UM,

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I could get settled, that I could get settled, and

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 1>then once we got into a rhythm, um, things were

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>better in the second half. So yeah, two point tomorrow

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the Oklahoma game. Two questions. The Oklahoma game, the two

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>point conversion that was a very tight window. Did you

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, for a moment, think that was a completion

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and you guys have won the game. And then also

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>that was you know that first time you experience some

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>road atmosphere like that, but the night game and you

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 1>guys some people, is that collective experience kind of maybe

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>make what you're about to face Sunday a little less overwhelming. Um, yeah,

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean the answer the first part, Yeah, I thought

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>it was a completion. Um. Obviously you know it stuck

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>not getting the completion in the game being over, But yeah,

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that was that, um in terms of the environment everything, Yeah,

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>those kind of games definitely helped I feel like with

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, just a lot being on the line, you know,

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in the moment, focusing on what's in front of you,

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>focusing on the defense rather than getting caught up in

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, the crowd and all that kind of stuff. So, UM,

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I played in a couple of those games, you know

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>in college. UM, and I think that was just a

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it was It's a great experience for me to go

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 1>back to and remember like how I felt, um, what

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>was going through my mind, how to affect my decisions

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>things like that. So um, definitely feel like I've grown

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>from it, and um, yeah, I'm glad I went through

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>something like that as well. Comfortable going left now more

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>games under your belt, rockets, that's something you want to change.

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Would you like to go more right? Where are you

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>chee from yourself on those situations? Yeah, Um, honestly, I

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.559
<v Speaker 1>hope I don't have to scramble. So that's not something

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.159
<v Speaker 1>you know I have in my mind. Um, but I

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>mean it is part of the game. Um, I just

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like how the pocket has collapsed, that's just something

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that's just an area I feel like I've gone to. Um,

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 1>but you know, it's not something that I I'm going like, Man,

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>I gotta stop going left or I need to go

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>more right. It's just it's part of the game. It's

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a natural feel I feel like in the moment. So

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 1>it's not something that I'm you know, practicing or anything

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>like that. So makes us
