WEBVTT - Brock Purdy: Christian McCaffrey Gives 49ers Offense ‘a Spark’ | Press Pass

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Far out was the maybe not the greatest play on

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the pick six, So you you were checking out of

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that because you saw something. What went on from there?

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we just got into in a second play.

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, we had ba as my first option on

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the left. I felt like wasn't there, so I came

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>backside to Christian and you know it was it's somewhat

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>of a safe play that we had on and it's

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 2>really one to two, and so I just tried to

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.479
<v Speaker 2>getting the ball to Christian being backed up, felt like

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I was in the end zone and wanted to get

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 2>the ball out. So, you know, looking back at it now,

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 2>obviously it was in a lot of coverage and stuff.

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Christian had a bunch of guys around him, so on

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 2>my end, I didn't put him in the best position,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>and obviously our team in the best position. So I

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:48.480
<v Speaker 2>gotta learned from it.

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>What kind of goes through your mind there? Your teamates

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>always say you were the same You're the same guy.

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Are you the same guy? In your head when something

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like that happens, the crowd's going crazy.

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, obviously we're up by three scores, three touchdowns,

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 2>and and uh, then we just give them one like that.

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>So now there it's a two score game. So now

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, it's real and game is back in

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the play it felt like in terms of them being

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>back in the game. So for myself, it's all I

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>gotta be smart with the ball up. At the same time,

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I still got to have that aggressive edge to myself

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>and not being afraid, you know, to rip stuff in

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>tight windows still and move the ball, get first downs

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and score touchdowns. That's where I was out of my

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 2>mindset moving forward. So obviously it suck going through it.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Got to learn from it, but in terms of who

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I am and playing this position, that can't change. And

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>so that's what I had to keep telling myself.

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 1>The touchdown that it was not very long after Kyle

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>said it was not the throw we thought you were

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna make. It was something underneath what you're just you're

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>determined to make that throw. Do you do you know

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>that thing's going to be open when you're dropping back.

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's not like, all right, I messed up,

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I got to prove myself or to

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 2>my team that I can make a big play to

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>get us back in. It's nothing like that, you know,

0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>we had actually ran the ball really well that drive,

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and so for myself it was all right, be smart

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>with the ball, take what the defense gives me. So

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>we sort of had like a rollout set up play

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 2>and I just went through my progression. I felt the safety.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>He came down on the right side just enough for

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>BA to get behind him and I ripped it. But obviously,

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>like you know, looking back on it, there's there's a

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>guy underneath as a checkdown that was open to that

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 2>would have been a big gain and for us to

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 2>eat the clock up and stuff. But like I said,

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.959
<v Speaker 2>went through the progression, trusted in BA being there and

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 2>just let it rip. Brought me on.

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Christians touchdown RNE and didn't look very promising. I think

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>he was like at the thirteen yard line a bunch

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>of trap and.

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>What was your view of that? And are you surprise

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>he did that?

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>But still how.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Pressive was Yeah? I mean Christian makes runs like that

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 2>all the time. I don't know if people really realize it,

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, just the open field and stuff. What looks

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>like isn't much, you know, he he just keeps his

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>motor rolling. Guys get behind him and push or he'll

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>uh you know, just spin out of something and get

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 2>a couple of extra yards and on that play, it's like,

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>all right, yeah, we're gonna be down inside whatever the

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 2>ten And then he just kept going and fighting and driving,

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, yeah, that's that's Christian McCaffery. Man, he's

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>a dog and you just never know when he's gonna

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>keep going or get out of something. So for him

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>to do that didn't really surprise me. But at the

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>same time, like you know, I look up to I

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>look up to that kind of stuff.

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>He gives us a.

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Spark man and an energy to the offense when we

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>need it most. So respect to him.

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>What's going through your mind when you went back and

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>kill health next week?

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, we just wanted Thanksgiving. You know, we're gonna

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>enjoy this one. We're gonna, you know, take the next

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>couple of days to recover and clear our minds and whatnot,

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>and when we get to the game plan, we'll get

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>to it, you know, next week. But I'm enjoying it

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>right now. Obviously it's gonna be a big one on

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 2>the road and stuff. We know that, everyone knows that.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>But we're just taking one day at a time and

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna enjoy this one.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Is just having the full faith that is gonna get

0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>to that spot.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean it's sort of where we're talking about

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>earlier this week, just him being where it needs to be.

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 2>And obviously I wish I could have, you know, hit

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>him more throughout the game and stuff, but when we

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 2>needed it the most, you know him being there. And

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, as a receiver, never you never know. You

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>know when that ball's coming your way. NBA did his

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>job and I got him the ball in the right

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.799
<v Speaker 2>spot and you made the rest happen getting it getting

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 2>into the end zone. But that's that trust, man. It's

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the faith in each other. That what we do every

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>single day at practice and stuff, and then it's showing

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>on the field.

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>So it feels good.

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was sweet. I mean just growing up, you know,

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you're with your family and stuff watching the NFL games

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>go on. You see the postgame interviews and the turkey legs,

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's just like a good time, you know, watching

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 2>it with your family. So to be able to be

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>out with my teammates after the game on a on

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 2>a win on the road, you know, eating some turkey

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 2>legs and stuff like that, it was fun. It's gonna

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 2>be something we'll look back on and smile about and whatnot.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>So very thankful your teammates on.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Social media, you heard or saw the announcement that you

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>want the Player of the Week award this week. What

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>does that kind of support mean to you? And did

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you hear about that or see that or what does

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>that mean to you?

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I saw, you know, Kyle and some of

<v Speaker 2>the PR people told me, you know that that I

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>had wonted last week and stuff. So it was cool.

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>And then my teammates, you know, have my back, and

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, going through a three game stretch like we

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>did and losing and then coming out and just playing

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 2>football and winning again. So for them to have my

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 2>back through all of it, man, it's just it's real.

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, the love is real. And I appreciate every

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 2>single one of those guys in the locker room and

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to go to war with them every day

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 2>and and so to see them, you know, just sort

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>of show some love like that after the game was awesome.

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 2>So love these guys. Touchdowns.

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>You waited for Brandon on the sideline and looked like

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you had a pretty intense moment there.

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 2>What was that about, man. I mean we had to

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 2>talk you know, throughout the year and stuff, you know,

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 2>like after practices and stuff. It's like, man, you know,

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 2>we have an opportunity to do something real special here,

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, like hey, him and I Deebo, Christian George.

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 2>But I always talk to like BA like, man, like

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 2>time's coming. Man. I know, I know you're hungry for it.

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 2>We could all tell because you know, he goes ball

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.720
<v Speaker 2>to the wall, you know, like a practice and meetings.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 2>He does everything right and so you know for me

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>to you know, tell him, you know, a week after

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>week like it's coming, it's coming, and then finally we're

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 2>seeing it. It's it feels good just to know that, man,

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 2>the work that we put in, the trust, the talks,

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're seeing it now. Obviously we have a

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 2>long ways to go and stuff, and it's gonna be

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.559
<v Speaker 2>game by game, day by day. But I'm really happy

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 2>for him. He's a really good receiver, and I think

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I think he you know, I think he deserves more

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 2>credit around the league and stuff, but that time will come.

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Thanks
