WEBVTT - Brock Purdy Reflects on 49ers 2022 Playoff Run | Press Pass

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>You feel like you're in a playoff game in the

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>divisional round, but yet also a long time ago at

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the same time.

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, it's been a pretty quick year. It feels

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:12.639
<v Speaker 2>like we were just in the playoffs and like we

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>were just in Philly and all that. So it's gone fast.

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever met Jordan Love?

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:19.240
<v Speaker 4>How familiar are you with his game?

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I haven't met him. I know guys that have, and

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 2>everyone respects him. I respect him obviously for what he's

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 2>done and just the situation that he's been in, you know,

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 2>playing behind Aaron for a number of years and and

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 2>then coming in and you know, sort of proven to

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>himself and everybody like who he is. So definitely respect

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 2>his story and his game and everything and how he's

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:43.560
<v Speaker 2>handled himself.

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, do you feel different this.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 5>Year just having had playoff experience last year, having gone

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 5>through it, and now having that under your belt going into.

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 4>Your second time around.

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel like it's a little different, you know,

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 2>just last year, you know, still trying to find my

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>way in a sense, you know, I got thrown towards

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the end of the year, and and so every single

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 2>week I was, you know, still trying to play good

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>and learn, you know, who I was as a quarterback

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 2>and and obviously get more familiar with playing within the system.

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 2>So those are all things that were sort of on

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 2>my plate last year, and then obviously trying to win

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>every single week and get this team to the to

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the end. And so now I guess this year just

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>being more familiar with the offense, who I am and

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>all that. It's it's a little different, but it's good

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>to sort of, you know, watch the games from last

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>year and sort of remember, you know, just the feeling

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 2>and the emotions of you know, playing in a playoff game.

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 4>It's it's good. It's you know, huge.

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 2>For me as a quarterback to you know, go back

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>to those moments and sort of remember what it feels like.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 2>So those are things that I'm sort of banking on. Yeah,

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, you know, the first game was a

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>little bit tense, you know, just in terms of you know,

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 2>every play mattered, you know, not trying to turn the

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>ball over and but at the same time, you know,

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>making plays still and winning and doing what it takes

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 2>to win.

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 4>So those were things I.

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Sort of had to learn, you know, and watching the

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>film it's sort of, you know, you get back into

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>that that feeling of last year and the first time

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 2>in a playoff game, and so it's sort of good

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>to remember those kinds of things moving forward, you know,

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>sort of under understanding what to expect, you know, for

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the first playoff game this year.

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 1>For me, at what point in the game on Sunday,

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>did you kind of feel like, okay, we are going

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to be playing the Packers and.

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Start to wrap around that.

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you never know.

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, at the end, the Cowboys were making a

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>push and so you never really know, but you know,

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>after they got up and then the third quarter they

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>were up pretty big, I was like, Okay, I think

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>this is gonna probably be be the team. But like

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 2>I said, you never know. When the Cowboys started to

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 2>come back and I was all right, and so you're

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>just watching and then you know, obviously the minute the

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>clock said zero, it's like, all right, let's go.

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 4>It's gonna be the Packers.

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>So it was a it was a great game to watch,

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and you know, they came out ready to play against

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys, and manned they they.

0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Played really well.

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I guess third quarter I started thinking we're

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna play the Packers.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 3>I watched tape of when the fort Nitors played in

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Lambeau a couple of years ago in the playoffs, And

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 3>do you remember maybe watching it live?

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I guess when you're h Yeah, all I remember in

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>that game in college was the end, like the block

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>punt and all that kind of stuff. It was crazy,

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>but and it just being really cold. But we've watched

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>a couple of plays and stuff from that game and

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>sort of just seeing the environment playoff football in Lambeau

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>with the snow and all that. I mean, what a

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>what a crazy game. So but yeah, just the history

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>of these two organizations and the playoff games and stuff,

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty cool to to, you know, say that I

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 2>get to play in the in that game now, So

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited for it.

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 3>Kyle worked you pretty hard during the bye week. What

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 3>was the process? What kinds of things did you guys

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 3>work on. Did you feel like it was a productive.

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 4>Use of your time? Yeah, it was a It was

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 4>a great off week. Obviously.

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't like, you know, you're gonna have a bunch

0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>of days off to just go do whatever you want.

0:03:59.600 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 4>Like it was.

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, we got we came in every day, got

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 2>good work in so obviously getting after it with the

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>playbook and and little fundamentals you know for myself that

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I need to get better at, you know that that

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>have popped up on film and stuff throughout the year.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>So we just want to keep hammering away at those things.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>And then just getting in that you know, competitive nature

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>with our defense. Obviously Fred across on the other side

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>of the ball, and and competing and so we definitely

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>got some good working and you know, Kyle and and

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Greasy and all those guys pushed us on offense, you know,

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>throughout the week.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 4>So I thought it was a really productive week.

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Well discount to your no, discount to your scout team.

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>But how much more do you get out of going

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>up against the ones?

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's huge.

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Obviously they fly around, they're really disciplined with their drops

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. You got the crazy defensive line that we have,

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and and they're push in the pocket. So you put

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 2>all those things together, man, it's it's really good work

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>that you can get out of it. So and then

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 2>obviously just the like I said, the competitive nature. You know,

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 2>you feel your blood starts to pump a little bit

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 2>when you're going against Dre and Fred and and both

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>off the edge and the secondary that we have.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 4>So it's, uh, it's always fun.

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 5>Like some of the you know, hype around that, you say,

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 5>like specifically, does it affect your effect in the game

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 5>and does that experience help you go into.

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 2>This Yeah, I mean yeah, just it being a primetime game,

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Christmas Day and all that kind of stuff, and then

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, we sort of had two really good plays

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning of the game, and the stadium's feeling it,

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>everybody's feeling good, and then boom, you make a mistake.

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>So it gets something for me. It's huge to be

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>able to get in that kind of moment and remember

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>those kinds of things for as tough as they were

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and how bad as I felt after.

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:57.679
<v Speaker 4>Man's that kind of stuff.

0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, it can help you if you're allowed to

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to go back, I can watch it on film and

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>be real with yourself about those moments and what it

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 2>takes to play quarterback at this level and be successful

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.359
<v Speaker 2>and play consistently and make the right decisions consistently. So

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 2>those are all things that I took account from that

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>game that I think I got better at. And honestly,

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.160
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna find out, you know, the playoffs coming up

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 2>and in this game. So yeah, I thought I took

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 2>some stuff away from it. But at the end the day,

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna find out on Sunday or Saturday touchdowns and.

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 3>A way higher percentage on your first possession than any

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 3>other percentage any other possession in the game.

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 4>Kyle says he doesn't care one way or the other.

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 4>He thinks they're all important.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 3>But do you feel any different in the first possession?

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, why, how do you account for the fact that.

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>You guys have been so good at scoring touchdowns for

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 1>the first.

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Time you get the ball.

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean there's a lot of things that go

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 2>into that, but I mean I think at the end

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>of the day, it's football.

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's a physical sport.

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>So I mean we're all juiced up and ready to

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>go for the first drive. And just our mindset with

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 2>getting on a team, you know, pretty quickly and doing

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the little things right from the jump. That's a big

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>emphasis that we have here. So that's something I think

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>we've done well. And then obviously our scheme and stuff,

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>the plays that we we know we're gonna call for

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 2>the first drive, those are all things that you can

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>prepare for and it helps you out as a player.

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 2>So I think all those things added up together. That's

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 2>why you've seen us, I think, have success early on.

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>So we gotta I mean honestly, every drive matters, just

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>like Kyle said, Man, so is that something that we

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>got to go into the game. So we have to

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 2>like every game is different. Obviously we won't score every

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 2>time we touch the ball.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, take.

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Away from your sit down with Steve Young and did

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 3>you consider that informative or useful in any way?

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I thought it was awesome.

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Obviously he was sort of you know, asking me some

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>questions and stuff about you know, my process, how I

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>think and all that. But you know, he had some

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 2>really good just ideas and things that he said, and

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and good perspectives on just the game in general. And

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 2>so you can tell obviously he was successful just by

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the way he thinks and and uh, how he views

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 2>life and stuff. I think all of that put into

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 2>one man. That's the reason why he is the way

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 2>he is. And so to be able to sit down

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>with him was very honored. And yeah, I thought it

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>was pretty cool that he was asking some really good questions,

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>not just the generic stuff.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 4>So and then after getting.

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 2>To be able to talk to him and and uh

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 2>just talk about ball and everything, and the fact that

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 2>he has my back and supports me and what I'm

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 2>doing is pretty cool too.

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.119
<v Speaker 4>So sweet.

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>How much taller are am I taller? I don't even know.

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe an inch, I hope.

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 3>So, I don't know, what are your thoughts on your

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.959
<v Speaker 3>younger brother as he's still coming.

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>To Yeah, I mean, obviously there was a lot of

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the whole coaching turnover thing that just happened with you know,

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>the head coach going to Arizona. So he's gonna, you know,

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.199
<v Speaker 2>sort of just I don't know, he's feeling it out

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 2>still and he's got some decisions to make and I'm

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 2>really excited for him and happy for him either way.

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 2>So but yeah, if you can be in the Bay,

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 2>that'd be pretty sweet, am my brother here.

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 5>Green Bay's deepense had a couple of interceptions against Dallas.

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 4>They didn't really have too many in the regular season.

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 3>Did they show anything differently and how they played Dallas

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 3>or maybe more aggressively? What did you see in that department?

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think there were just some really

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.439
<v Speaker 2>good plays made by their dbs, you know, Jy R.

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Alexander with his ball and steaks on on his one interception,

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 2>and then number twenty six Savage coming down and making

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a good read on Dak and jumping a slant. I think,

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't, I don't want to, you know,

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 2>say anything on their behalf, but I mean it looks

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 2>like it's playoff football.

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>They're they're aggressive in what they're doing, and when they

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.439
<v Speaker 2>see an opportunity, they're willing to, like I said, be

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.719
<v Speaker 2>aggressive and take it. So those are all things I

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 2>think we have to take account and for myself, you know,

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 2>obviously with the ball in my hands every play. So

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>they're guys that can make plays and I have to

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 2>understand that. So it's gonna be a really good challenge

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 2>getting out eighteen.

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>How excited or how much are you pitching to just

0:09:58.480 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>actually get back out.

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 2>There and to get in Actually yeah, I mean it

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>was weird, you know, seeing the whole team and all

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 2>my guys, you know, just out warming up for the

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 2>game and stuff, and I was like, man, I wish,

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, I was able to do it with them

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. So I'm glad honestly that we were able

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to get through that and and I was able to

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 2>practice with them this week and I'm playing this week,

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 2>so I'm really excited about that. But definitely was an

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.079
<v Speaker 2>itch for sure, but at the same time, being able

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>to see the other guys get opportunities go in and

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>play it was huge and and watched them play it.

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 4>Was it was sweet.

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>So but definitely ready for for this one.

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 5>We will have animated sideline conversations. I mean, not like

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 5>screaming at each other or anything, but you know, it

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 5>gets tense and tight. Figure out what do they get

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, heated word, but exchanges like during the.

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean at the end of the day, we

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 2>want to win and we're competitors at heart. He played

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>this position, he played it well, and so he gets it.

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we're obviously very hard on ourselves at

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback position, and we have a standard that we

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>have here and whenever I'm not playing at a level

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 2>that I should be, he's the first to tell me,

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 2>which I love. And uh, you know, as a quarterback,

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I want a coach who's real and and holds a

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>standard and doesn't allow any you know, room for air

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 2>and doesn't have any slack on us. Like if that

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 2>were the case, man, I don't think i'd be playing

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 2>good football, you know, I wouldn't be able to play

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 2>at my full potential. And he helps me get to

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 2>that and and centers me back on the mindset that

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>we need to have. And honestly, he lights a fire

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you know in me throughout the game too, and reminds

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 2>me of you know, the competitive uh nature that we

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>need to have even though we're quarterbacks and stuff, like,

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 2>we're the guys that can bring the juice to the offense.

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 2>And so he's, uh, he's done that a lot throughout

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>the year, and I respect that a lot from him.

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>So anytime there's some animation on the sideline between us,

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 2>it's I think a good thing too.

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>So did you and Christian lean on each other? It

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>seemed like you both had that mentality of like really

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>really wanting to play, but you knew that you couldn't.

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, did you guys leave on each other during

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 2>that from a week eighteen or some up?

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean we yeah, yeah, I mean I think you know,

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 2>we we had talked about it throughout the week and stuff,

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>and obviously we understand what our end what the end

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 2>goal is and the big picture of things, and so

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>for him, obviously getting his body healthy and right, and

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>then obviously keeping me healthy.

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Going into playoffs as well was huge.

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 2>So those are things we both understood, and we both

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>hammered away at, you know, the little things throughout the week.

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Obviously he came back looking great, you know, at practice

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.079
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. So but that's that's a professional right there.

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, you understand what we're trying to do. Obviously,

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 2>we understood we had the first seed locked up, and

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>and to go out and play for our team was

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>awesome every every opportunity we get. But at the same time,

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>we both understand that we have to be healthy, you know,

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 2>going into playoffs, and so having his advice and help

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>throughout that time was he and but we're both excited

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 2>to obviously get through that and be healthy for this game.

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 4>So we're excited for the opportunity. Thanks guys,
