Brock Purdy praised Jordan Mason for filling in for the 'best running back in the league,' Christian McCaffrey

Transcript

00:00JP did a good job coming in and there were some third downs and stuff where I was able

00:04to hit him on some check downs and him doing the same thing Christian has done.

00:07So obviously, Christian is the best in the league at running back and

00:12what he does, I'm not taking anything away from that.

00:15But I think JP did a good job of coming in and filling his void and

00:19doing his job to allow other guys to get open and allow us to run our offense, so.

00:24I thought he runs like he always does.

00:26I mean, when you get him the ball, he breaks tackles,

00:29usually gets more than we block for.

00:32When we had the good lanes, he always hit them and got a bunch, but

00:36JP was awesome today.

00:38To see him over the last two years, just push the envelope more and

00:42more every year and then get an op this year at camp and do well with it.

00:46And obviously in the first game of the season, he did great with it.

00:49So really, really excited for him.

00:51He's earned it, man.

00:52He's the kind of guy that was not given to him.

00:54And so to see him go out and do what he did tonight, man, I'm so happy for him.

00:57And I know he's gonna keep pushing.

00:59We always think very highly of JP when he's been in those situations.

01:04That's what he's always done.

01:05And you always want Christian out there, what he brings to the run game,

01:08also what he brings to the pass game.

01:10So it's huge to have Christian, but not at the expense of losing him for

01:14more games.
