WEBVTT - Press Pass: Carson Wentz

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>How would you evaluate when you played the shot? I

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.319
<v Speaker 1>thought it was okay. You know, it definitely wasn't where

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>it needs to be. UM, for sure. You know we

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>were ultimately we were seven at nine, you know, And

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what it all boils down to. UM. I thought

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I learned a lot, you know, I thought I grew

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>us as far as mentally and physically on the field. UM,

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>definitely nowhere near where I want to be, UM and

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>where I think we can be as a team. UM,

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 1>But I thought we did some good things at times too.

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>We take some time to kind of reflect. I know,

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>we kind of got thrown into the fire a week

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 1>before the season as a starter, you know, UM, and

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it probably never really stopped until media now. I mean,

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.160
<v Speaker 1>what takes some time to kind of think about what happened.

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>And Yeah, with my time off that I take just

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>for for mentally and physically, I definitely need to reflect.

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's just a year ago this time my

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>life was crazy different, you know, and how many things

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>have changed and what all just transpired in terms of

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>this season. UM, definitely needed take some time to reflect

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and UM kind of just sit back and look at

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>all the crazy things that have happened, um in my life.

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Some of your fellow rookies earlier today said, did it

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>felt like a long season, but it went fast? And

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.199
<v Speaker 1>they some admitted that there was a point this season

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>where they felt like it really you know, hit them.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 1>I guess kind of the wall type of thing. Did

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you at any point feel that and have to overcome

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that's not really honestly, Um, I did feel it was

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>long season, but like like they said, I did feel

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>it went very fast. It was kind of crazy. Um

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that it's over now, you know. Um. But I never

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>really experienced that wall. As a matter of fact. Later

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>in the year that it got I was finally getting

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>in the swing of things, finally getting used to that routine. Um,

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>And so I never really felt that too too much

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>at all. So I'm thankful for that. Jordan said that

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe they'll move the wide receiver quorderback get together in

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>San Diego to a nice cabinet far the you guys.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>He wants to go to Northdakota real bad. I might.

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I told him I could take you right now, but

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you might not. Everyone to come back. It's pretty cold.

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>But he wants to go up there. So we'll see

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>what we do with in the offseason, but UM, totally fun.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Whatever we do, we gotta get together and do something.

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course, and you look around the league, most top

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks have like a novel one definitive receiver. You guys

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of lack that this year. Do you want to

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>build something there? And do you need that? I mean,

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>is that something that UM top quarterback generally needs at

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>some point? You know, that's hard to say, you know.

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought we did a good job of spreading the

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 1>ball around. You know, I think that was kind of

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>part of the game plan going into the season. UM

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>we had a number of weapons, you know, that could

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>get the job done, so I wis looked for mismatches.

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, that was the biggest thing from from Jordan

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Matthews when he was in the slot to Earth's on

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>on safeties and linebackers. Sprowles always creates mismatches outside UM

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.799
<v Speaker 1>with Nelson and DGB and some of the younger guys

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>stepping up. I thought we did a good job of

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>spreading the ball around, for sure, but it is a

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>good recollable. Quick have a guy that you don't need

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to create mismatches, He's always going to be a mismatch.

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Because he's so good. I mean, that's always that's always helpful.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>But um, at the end of the day, you know,

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>we we were very confident in the guys we've had.

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Nonetheless over the past few months. What sense have you

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 1>gotten about the role that you play within this organization

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and in this city? UM? I mean I try and

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>block out a lot of that stuff, honestly, Like I

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>understand the significance of the position on the quarterback UM

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL and especially in this city. UM, I

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>get it. You know, I'm very aware, but UM, I

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>try to not let that pressure or any of those

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>other things really affected all handled things. UM. But at

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the same time, I'm very aware of what's going Is

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it as you expected though when you came in, or

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>is it is it even even more so than what

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.839
<v Speaker 1>he thought? It's probably what I expected, you know, It's

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>what I expected. UM, But it's pretty cool. You know.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I embraced that that opportunity, and I'm very fortunate to

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>be in the question, what was the toughest thing you've

0:03:54.960 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>had to adjust to playing football in the NFL? UM,

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably just say the speed of the game, you know,

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I think for for every rookie coming up. Um, every

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>single opponent every single week, can can fly around, can

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>make plays, um can beat you, you know. Um. And

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I think just the speed of the game. I thought

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I adjusted to it fairly quickly, but I think that

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>was one of the biggest things. Um. No matter where

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>you come from, everything is just faster, everything about Like

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>for you this morning, having come from a past of winning,

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to be packing up and know that other teams are

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 1>not Yeah, not a good one, you know, not a

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>good one. You know. Yeah we won last night and

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>that was cool, but um, it was weird last night

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and this morning coming in like, we're not gonna be

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>back here that same team, that same locker room will

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>never be the same, you know. And it's kind of

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a crappy feeling. Um, but we're gonna use that now,

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 1>you know. I'm gonna I know, I'm gonna personally use that.

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I never want to have that feeling again. I don't

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>want to be playing into January. Um, for the rest

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>of my career, God willing, you know. And um, what

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>do you see what happens? What we're talking a party,

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the urge to pick up a football for what we

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 1>do to quit that ar man hard to say actually

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>obviously probably go go hunting and just hang out. Um,

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>nothing real crazy. Um yeah, I don't know. If you're

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>not a beach guy, you wouldn't go with Trump to ball.

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. We'll see, we'll see, we'll see what

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>we're talking some parting words to you, instructions almost and

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>what he wants to see you improve upon. Um, we

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't really go really in depth. You know, we kind

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>of just talked more about overall, you know, as as

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>a team. Um, I think we can all get better.

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think we all need to be better. Um,

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>in situations. You know, I think there's a lot of

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, I thought we were really good football team

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 1>between the twenties. You know, I think we could do

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 1>some good things. But situationally, I think we all just

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>need to be better, myself included. Um, And we just

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of discussed some some different things. And um, yeah,

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>nothing really in depth as hard as person, what's not

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the same play caller or other than the season as

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>he was later or that kind of progresses. Maybe you

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>got more comfortable in the offense, It started to get

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>more comfortable with each other. Yeah, I thought it was similar.

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I thought this play calling in his approach

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 1>was was very similar. One thing I was appreciated with

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>with coach Peterson was like he valued my input, you know,

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 1>even for as a rookie. He valued, you know what,

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>my opinion on things. And um, I thought that was awesome.

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, I thought that was awesome for me. Um

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I thought he did a good job.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Was there one game and in particular where you kind

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>of felt like everything it's slow down for you and

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 1>you kind of like, you know, I really get this now. Um,

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't really think there's one specific game. Um. I

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>thought just as the season went on and just every

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>every game kind of just you know, whether whether I

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>was out there playing well or not. I just thought

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>mentally it was starting to click more and more, and

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.359
<v Speaker 1>some teams do more, you know, some teams do do

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot more and present any different looks and make

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>things complicated. But um, I thought it was kind of

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>just every single game, and I was just if things

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>are slowing down a little bit more of a gradual process.

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And the way the way you saw it, boy, I

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I don't know how to go back in

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>in review that stuff. Um, yeah, I don't know. Was

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>there another Was there another team or for quarterback that

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you looked at the course of the year and said,

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I admire the way they're doing things and you want

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to emulate. UM. You know there's a couple of guys,

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether we played him or some him on

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>TV or whatever. UM, you see guys playing a high

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>level and you respect that. You know, I see we

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>got see Aaron Rodgers running in football the first hand.

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what unfortunately was against us. But UM, just

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the way he controls things, and you know the temple

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>he plays with. UM, A lot of respect for him

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and what he does. UM. Guy like Big Ben obviously

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>he struggled when he was here, but a lot of

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>respect for what he does. Russell Wilson, we were there

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>when we were there playing them. UM, gott see all

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>those as. I could go on and on with the

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>list of names, but UM, slot respect for some of

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 1>those soci I'm sorry. Is there a specific something mechanically

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that you want to work on in the office, anything

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you think is important for you to UM, well, for stars,

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to think about that right now. I'm

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>taking Once I start taking thing about that, then I'm

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to really fight there, just pick up the ball. Um.

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>But uh, yeah, you know, I just you got to

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>continue to front, continually refine your mechanics. Um. I don't

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>think there's anything one big glaring thing, but just got

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to be consistent with will you will you seek out

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>like a Tomhouse type of person to work with you.

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely in consideration. Yeah, we're working through some of

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>those things. And again I don't have a lot of

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>answers from yet because I haven't had a ton of

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>time to think about it. But I could see that

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>happening in college and you had a specific type of

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>off season routine as far as what you do. Yeah, yeah,

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>we always have. That's the nature of college football. You're

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 1>strength and conditioning coordinator is running the show pretty much then,

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>so it's always been very detailed and laid out. So

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>this season, this offseason will be a little different when

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you try to maybe incorporate some of the things he's done,

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>without a doubt, Without a doubt, ya, when you see

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the success that the Dak had with the Cowboys, you

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>syear is that how do you react to that as

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>a competitor or you just look at the situation he's

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>in and take it for what it is. Yeah, you know,

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I try not to compare apples tapples in that regard.

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>You know. Yeah, he's a rookie quarterback, which he's done

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>some some really good thanks for them, you know, and

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a good team or a good football team. Um

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 1>So again I try not to compare apples tapples. Um.

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, in the long run, it'll be fun. It'll

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 1>be fun to play against those guys twice a year,

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>um for hopefully long time.
