Purdy discusses the mood of the quarterback room

“Me, Heinrich (Haarberg) and Jeff (Sims). We are all really tight. Off season we were all hanging out and whoever the next man up was for that game we were always there for each other, watching film with each other, giving each other encouragement and on the sidelines we’d ask them what they see. We’d go through our reads and coverages. I think our friendship is super tight and I think that’s what is important.”

“I thought Chubba played well. He came in on Sunday and he and I sat down. I think the thing that takes you from good to great is when you go back and look and say ‘hey, what are the plays I could have done?’, not just concentrate on the things that you did well. I think there were maybe four, five, six plays where the first progression wasn’t there, maybe he scrambles in the backside and cuts wide open, but a couple more reps over the course of the season, maybe he gets back to that a little easier. But I thought he was in command the whole game. I thought he protected the ball. I thought he had great energy. I thought he was making a lot of good decisions.”
