WEBVTT - Brock Purdy: ‘We Play for Each Other’ | Press Pass

0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Yeah, uh no, they just said happy birthday

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.719
<v Speaker 1>and was about it. Nope, sadly.

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 2>But I mean obviously you're behind up offensive line right now,

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 2>So how do you kind of brace for that or

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>help support them to get through the growing paint?

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, you know, for me, it's just it's

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>just about doing my job, you know, not doing anything

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>uncharacteristic and and trying to do too much. It's go

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>through my reads, get the ball out and help them out,

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, and help get them into a rhythm. Obviously

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>in the run game and stuff, allow them to get

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>into a rhythm, but when it comes to the past game,

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 1>there's a you know, definitely I could do my part

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and getting the ball out and being on time and

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, help them establish you know, their feet

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>within the game and and you know, just continue to

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>build them up. So yeah, it feels like.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>The Lions feel like they let you guys have one

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.960
<v Speaker 2>last year. Obviously gets a championship game and want to

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.559
<v Speaker 2>come in here and probably beat you by thirty points,

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're going to try to do how do you, guys,

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.559
<v Speaker 2>in the situation you're in, kind of try to match

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>the intensity of a team that may have all those

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>things going forward the many game.

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean obviously last year NFC Championship game, Like,

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of emotions that go into that, especially

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you know when we were able to go to the

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl from it, and you know, their season was ended,

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>So we obviously know how that feels, you know for

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>us the year before with Philadelphia and that kind of thing.

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>So it's definitely a thing and we have to be

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>ready for it. And more than anything, it's you know,

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.479
<v Speaker 1>how can we come in and ready to to battle

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>these guys for four quarters and do what we can

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to obviously win and walk out and you know, create

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>some momentum for us our organization moving forward and stuff.

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.440

<v Speaker 1>and so to go out there and play for each

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>other and and do it takes to win at Levi's

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.320

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>going to come in with with a you know, a

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>heavy heart from last year and ready to go for

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>this game. And but that's what makes us league exciting.

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>So Monday Night Football man, and it will be fun.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>George also just said that you talked about how you

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>grew up wanting to play Monday night football.

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Can you just take us through what that experience is

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>like and what your first one was like, and how

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 2>you get geared up for that this week?

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, you know, growing up, you just hear

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the chime and stuff. It's the school week has started,

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know you sit down and watch

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.239
<v Speaker 1>the primetime game Monday night. And so I was just

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 1>telling all the guys like, man, like I mean, our season,

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's been tough and just the way how it's gone.

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>But man, we got two games left. We got a

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Monday night game in front of everybody to go out

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and live a childhood dream. And and we're all in

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>our twenties and thirties, man, playing football like for our job.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So let's go out there, man. And and you know,

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>we've got such a great opportunity in front of us

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>to go and enjoy this game and compete, and uh,

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>this is what we do for our job, man, So

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>let's enjoy it together. And so for me, the little

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 1>kid and me is always pumped for these kind of

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>games and stuff. So I'll never take it for granted.

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>And more than anything, that's when Levi's get rolling and rocking,

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, I want to do my part in

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and helping it get to that point. And and so

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that's how I'm looking at this game. And and I

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>know all my teammates are too, so we're excited for it.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>But if you're throwing arm one hundred percent healthy or.

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Is it healthy enough, it's one hundred percent healthy? Yep, yep.

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Your take on the the offensive line, I mean, three

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>new guys on the fifty three. Man, we weren't even

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>here a week ago. What did you do to kind

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 2>of welcome those guys? And assuming you didn't get them

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>the truck, but what's it been like to get up

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to speed with those guys and and kind of welcome.

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Them into the into the Yeah, I mean it's just always,

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, welcome in with open arms, and you know,

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>this is who we are, this is what we do,

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, more than anything, man, we play together.

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>And so they all know that they've come in and

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>they felt it and and uh, no one here has

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, had their head down and sorry for themselves

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>about anything. It's like, man, we got another game on

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the schedule and we're coming in ready to go. And

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>so I think those those guys have felt that and

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 1>they know what they have to do for us and

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>in order to you know, be successful, and they're in

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>doing their jobs so and more than anything, man, just

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 1>communicating with them, telling them about cadence and timing of

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>plays and and uh just helping them out in that

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 1>regard and talking to them at lunch and stuff and

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>getting to know them. You know, it's it's new, it's different.

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>It's tough situation, but you know, this is the NFL,

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>so we got to adapt and be ready to go.

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 2>So different guys on the defensive front seven as opposed

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>to the ant championship game. So I mean, was their

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 2>film study on that game even and then does it

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 2>give you something actually feel good? Vives kind of knowing

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>that was one of the best wins you've had.

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I've gone back in watch that just

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>to you know, sort of see how you know, they

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>played against us and what they did against our scheme.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>So we we've seen some stuff from last year. But

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, you know, the personnel is a

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>little different, especially upfront and everything. But you know, more

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>than anything. We're gonna go into it based off of

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that they've done this year with the guys

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.599
<v Speaker 1>that they have currently playing, and and go from there.

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we definitely respect them. They all play

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>together really well, man, They've been in the system for

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a while and and more than anything that, I just

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>feel like they play together as a team. They're aggressive

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and what they do both on offense and defense, and

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and you just feel like, you know, they they do

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>what it takes to win games. They've done it time

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and time again every week. So for us on offense, man,

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's gonna be a good challenge. Obviously, we've got

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>some new guys on our side of the ball, so overall,

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's gonna be a good matchup.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 2>So and seek out the new offensive lineman at launch

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>to you know, get to know them.

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>As I said, yeah, I mean at all the meals

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and stuff, just you know, getting to know them and

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>sitting down and talking. I mean, we all quarterbacks, tight

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>ends lineman, we all sit together when we eat and stuff.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Our schedules all pretty similar. So that in passing getting

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>to know him in the locker room, like all the

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>moments that we we get off just you know, obviously

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>introducing it to introducing each other and and uh knowing

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that we got to step on the field and go

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:28.919
<v Speaker 1>to go to war together. So yeah, that's important. In particular,

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>is familiar with the offense having played under Bobby Slowick

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>last year. Can you kind of sense that being out

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>there with him? Yeah, he definitely has the just the

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>veteran nests to him where you know, he's he's been

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>through you know, the league and understand what it takes,

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, getting in and out of huddles here and plays.

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He just he looks like a professional for sure. So

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>excited to have him.

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Examples of this. George is like an extremely loyal TV

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>from your experience, How has that kind of shown through relationship?

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, dude, he's he's been great to me regardless

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>of the circumstances of winning or losing. Like he's he

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>sees something in me that's that's pretty good. And and

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's just been nothing but great encouragement to me.

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>He's real to me about what I can do and

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and uh where I can get better. Like he's he's

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>real and that's why I love him, and uh more

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>than anything like he's he's a guy that's gonna do

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>anything for you when you step on the field, off

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the field, he's got your back and for our team

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>man like that. We've been in some tough situations this year,

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and that dude has been one of the dudes that

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>comes to work every single day. All the guys have,

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>but George especially, you know, every Sunday he shows up

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>and he's doing the dirty work. He's blocking, he's making

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>tough plays, he's catching the ball, breaking tackles. George has

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>done it all and so we're all extremely blessed to

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>have George as a teammate and look up to them

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and you know, to be able to going

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>through this kind of stuff is tough. But when you

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>have guys like George, Jews, fred Bosa, like guys that

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>care for this organization, this team, their brothers, they make

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it worth coming to work for and so very thankful

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>for all of them. Thanks guys,
