Breaking down the keys to the Super Bowl for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.
Transcript
00:00 You're not playing your best, and you know it.
00:02 You've talked about it.
00:03 You're not seeing the field like you were in the regular season.
00:06 You're kind of forcing passes rather than taking the check down.
00:08 Okay, at least you're aware of it.
00:10 Issues been going on for two playoff games.
00:13 Instead of hoping that it's going to go away, maybe understand that
00:18 defenses are getting a little bit more sophisticated
00:22 as you get deeper in the playoffs.
00:24 You've never been this far before, and
00:25 the book on you is getting a little bit more defined.
00:29 The plan against you is going to be a little bit better than it's been in the past.
00:32 Don't try to win the game on your own.
00:35 I always tell this to you, but it's like
00:36 I'm not trying to tell you to go out there and be a game manager.
00:40 I'm not.
00:41 I'm not.
00:42 I'm not trying to tell you to go out there and say, "Don't mess up."
00:45 I'm not.
00:46 What I am telling you is don't stand in the pocket in that one spot
00:51 and try to go through four reads and show everyone that you're Tom Brady.
00:57 You don't need to do that.
00:58 In fact, you're not that guy.
01:00 What I want to see from you is to keep using your legs.
01:03 Run more.
01:04 That's a really good pass rush, even without Charles O'Mahony.
01:08 That's a really good D-line in Kansas City.
01:10 Don't go down like Jimmy Garoppolo did four years ago in one spot,
01:14 shaking in his boots, tapping his feet.
01:16 I mean, I don't think I even have to tell you this, Brock.
01:19 That's why I like you.
01:20 You know.
01:21 You've been doing it in the playoffs.
01:23 You haven't been passing your best.
01:24 Your completion percentage is down like 10 points.
01:27 Your quarterback rating is down about, what, 25 points from the regular season.
01:33 Fine.
01:34 Okay.
01:34 Playoffs are tougher.
01:35 But your running is better than ever.
01:38 You've been more--
01:40 I mean, you haven't been more decisive about it,
01:41 but when you do go, you're gaining more yards.
01:43 You're running more often.
01:44 Keep it up.
01:46 I think this is the part of your game that defenses aren't quite ready for.
01:50 They've seen you in the regular season operate Kyle Shanahan's system
01:54 and find the open guy and make it look easy and effortless.
01:56 You're not doing that right now.
01:57 And the Chiefs have a really, really good defense,
02:01 especially against the pass, coverage, pass rush.
02:04 You've got nothing to prove, Brock.
02:06 Nothing to prove from the pocket.
02:10 If you have to get out of the pocket--
02:11 If your progression against the Chiefs is one read and run,
02:16 two reads and run, you can win that way.
02:19 Because you won't be throwing picks.
02:21 You'll be gaining yards.
02:25 If you try to consistently get to that third and fourth read and not check it down,
02:28 you're going to force passes over the middle and get picked off and lose.
02:32 Check it down.
02:34 Use your feet.
02:35 Be a little cautious.
02:39 Don't be a game manager.
02:40 But use your legs.
02:41 I compared you to Jeff Garcia.
02:44 Garcia would scramble his butt off in this game.
02:46 So would Steve Young.
02:47 What would Steve do?
02:49 What would Garcia do?
02:51 He'd be running against the Chiefs.
02:53 You're a playmaker.
02:55 With your feet.
02:56 Make those plays.
02:58 Stand in one spot.
03:01 You're going to get overwhelmed by that defensive line.
03:04 Your O-line can't protect you.
03:06 Get out of there!
