WEBVTT - Brock Purdy Talks Excitement for NFC Championship Game | Press Pass

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>About transforming, you know, the good and the negative from

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>one week, and make yourself better following.

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for me, it's you know, you're real with yourself.

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.600
<v Speaker 2>You understand where you're at as a quarterback, how you played,

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 2>and it doesn't matter if you play good or bad.

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Like you can't I don't think take really any of

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>that with you the next week. It's a new game,

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 2>it's a new scheme, it's new environment, everything everything about

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>it is new. So it's almost like you got to

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>clean the slate, learn from the mistakes, build off of,

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, the good things that you've done. But it's

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>gonna be it's it's a new game. So that's the

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>mental battle that I feel like all the NFL quarterbacks

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 2>go through and and I think that's where the great

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>ones really, you know, separate themselves from the others.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, that's how I look at it. When you

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 3>watch the Green.

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 4>Bay film and you were being and you were critiquing yourself,

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 4>what didn't you like about the way you played in

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 4>the first part of.

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 2>The game, Yeah, I feel like there was just, uh,

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, early on, there was some decisions that I

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 2>made that sort of made me feel a little tentative.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 2>You know after you know obviously that one that could

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 2>have been intercepted, and it's like, you know, go through

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 2>reads and take the checkdowns when when the defense presents

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 2>presents itself the way it does, and you know, build

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 2>off that rather than trying to search for the play

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 2>and look for the big play and and then when

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not there, you know, not having confidence in our

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>checkdowns and stuff. So that's something that you know, I

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>have to be better at. That's that that's what I

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 2>needed to do. At the end of the game. I

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.639
<v Speaker 2>feel like we got to that point and I started

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>doing that better and we were able to move the ball.

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 2>So that's something that I learned for sure.

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.959
<v Speaker 5>The aggressiveness of the defense, but their corners in particular,

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 5>it's been a double edged sword because the great takeaways,

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 5>but they also do you see that whole the line

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 5>of danger but chances against them.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, I think every week it's sort of

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 2>been a little different just depending on who they're playing.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>This they do a lot of switching up just with

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 2>their coverages and how they play guys and certain receivers

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>that they're covering. So it's always a little different with them,

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 2>and so there could be some big plays, and then

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 2>there's also plays where they're gonna play tight and you know,

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>as a quarterback, so you got to know that they're

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>going to be aggressive and they can make a play.

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>So it's definitely a fine line. And once we get

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>into the game, hopefully we can get a feel for

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 2>it and understand what kind of game it's going to

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 2>be with them.

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 4>Given how last year when you got to this stage,

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 4>things things ended for you. For you personally, especially what

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 4>does it mean to you to be back on this

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 4>stage and have another opportunity just a year.

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Later to be in this game.

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean this is obviously where we wanted to

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 2>get to as a team, and that's you know, first

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 2>and foremost, and.

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Obviously I'm excited that we're here.

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>And so now it's you know, last year's last year

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 2>that was its own game. It wasn't hasn't been anything

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 2>that has bled into this year or this game, and

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is the forty nine ers against the

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>lines now, so it's a new year, new approach, I

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like, just in terms of you know, playing their

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.119
<v Speaker 2>defense and their scheme, not you know, thinking about last

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 2>year or anything. So you know, for me, obviously I got

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>hurt last year, and it sucks. That was part of

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the game. You know, going into this game, I'm healthy,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 2>you feel good, and you know, I think for all

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>of us, were obviously hungry and we want to get

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>to the next game after. So we've got to handle

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>business and take it one play at a time and

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>allow everything to happen for a reason.

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>So it's not trusting the checkdowns because you're getting to

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>them late, because you're looking searching for the big players.

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 3>What it is, I'd say, so, yeah, in that game,

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 3>when you look.

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>At last year, I mean, it seemed like it happened

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>so quickly. What's the difference in kind of the slow

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>builder this year? You know, knowing you're the starting quarterback

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>from day one, knowing that the goal is to get

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to the NFC Championship game, is there any difference in

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the mindset for you?

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, I've I've obviously played more games

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 2>this year and stuff compared to last year, and so

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>to help this team from the beginning and all the

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>way to the end to get to where we are now,

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>for me, it's a little different. And obviously that's been

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>our goal. And now to say that, okay, I actually

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>helped our team.

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 3>That's cool.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Were last year, you know, I got thrust it in

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 2>and we had a good team. We were rolling, and

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>not to take away anything that happened last year, but

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.039
<v Speaker 2>it sort of does feel a little different because you

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 2>went through so many highs and lows this year and

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>now to get to where we are, it's like, Okay,

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>it feels pretty good. So but at the same time,

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>this has been this organizations and teams mindset long before

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I even got here, and what they've been building here

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>in terms of, you know, doing and doing what it

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>takes to get to the championship, and so I'm just

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>another key part of that, and I'm just doing my

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>job as best as I can week in and week out.

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 3>And here we are.

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 4>How do you feel about just the supporting cast around

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.559
<v Speaker 4>you in terms of maybe a more apt in terms

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 4>of being able to have contingency plans at one goes

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 4>down maybe more than you did last year. How deep

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 4>you guys are.

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it's I think it's huge. You know.

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Obviously we get we get guys that get banged up

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and may not play as much and whatnot from game

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 2>to game, but we have some studs all across the board,

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 2>and we gotta get guys that.

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Can step up.

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Juwan Jennings, Ray Ray mccleole, like, you got guys that

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 2>can come in and do the job really well. So

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>that's something that's cool about our team and what this

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>organization has done. You know, obviously they get guys that

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 2>are willing to step in and continue to keep this

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>thing going. And we've shown that, I feel like throughout

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 2>the years, and so you know, obviously the teams have

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 2>to scheme to stop certain guys, and I think at

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, they end up having to

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>have to just play their way of football rather than

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 2>focusing so much on one certain guy because we have five, six, seven,

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, guys that they have to worry about.

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 3>So that's the cool part. And I mean it's the

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>team that we got. So what thing is the key?

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 3>Just to win on Sunday?

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 2>Man, I feel like just for us on offense, you know,

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.359
<v Speaker 2>we gotta obviously put up points. They have a good offense.

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>We respect their defense a lot and what they do.

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>They've had a lot of success this year and obviously

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of games that they've been playing really well.

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 2>So for us, it's you know, don't turn the ball over,

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>put up some points like we have this year, let

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 2>our defense to do their thing, and and uh, you know,

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 2>try to win the momentum throughout the game. I feel

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 2>like this game is gonna come down the momentum, and

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 2>whoever has that I think has a good chance of

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>winning the whole thing game.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>And uh, this year at home painful on your back.

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like that makes a big difference in

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the atmosphere going into this NFC Championship.

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you know, just the game that this

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>is going to be. It's an NFC Championship, two really

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>good teams, and then obviously just the Bay Area and

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the faithful in general. We want this game bad, you know,

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 2>and they've obviously been hoping, you know, you know, to

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 2>have another championship come in this organization. Last couple of

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 2>times we've been in the Super Bowl, we've fallen short.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 2>So now we get a shot at it. And so

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 2>to play at home in the NFC Championship, it's gonna be.

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be sweet.

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 5>Missed assignment.

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 3>One more time?

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 4>How important is it for you and what you guys

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 4>do as an offense to hopefully have Deevo out there.

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's huge.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, he's a I think he's he's probably the best

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 2>playmaker in this league. You know, you get the ball

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>in his hands, he can do whatever he wants, makes

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 2>guys miss, breaks, tackles. He's strong, he's tough, he's got grit,

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 2>and we all feed off it. So Diebo definitely gives

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>us some juice and energy and momentum on our offense.

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, if he's not playing, obviously that's tough

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>on us, but we'll have guys to be able to

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 2>play as well that can that can create that as well.

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 3>So but yeah, if you're asking me, we'd love for

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 3>you go to.

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Play the Uh, it looked like he missed as signmon.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 3>It looked like you said, you know, what are you doing.

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>It looked like you guys had some harsh words and

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>then you guys were on the sideline talking about it.

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>What happened exactly on that play and what was the

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>breakdown there?

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm just going through my

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>progressions and and you know, from where I'm at with

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 2>the pocket closing and stuff, I'm expecting him to be

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>where he's supposed to be with the route that we

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>had called on the corner actually slipped that was guarding him,

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 2>So he was trying to be smart and you know,

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>throw up his hand and run the space, which I get.

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>And so in the moment, I was like, man, you

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>just got to be where you got to be where

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm expecting you to be. But I totally understand what

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>you're doing. You know, a guy falls, there's a big

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 2>play to be made out there. So we had talked

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 2>about it and then we ended up on good terms

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 2>and and moving forward. We know what to expect out

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>of each other and stuff. And one we're in that

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 2>moment again, so it's just communication. We're competitors and the

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 2>heat of battle, things like that happen, and like we

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>needed that, you know, in that moment in the game.

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 2>So uh, that third down. So I had a little

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 2>frustration come out and stuff, but it's nothing but love.

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I totally trust and respect Ray Ray and what he's

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>done and and we're gonna get better from its.
