WEBVTT - Press Pass: Carson Wentz

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I know you asked about Earl Thomas and his range.

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you see from Eric's It's similar. Yeah, it's

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>very similar. You know, he's all over the field pretty snap.

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>He's showing your different looks. He's running all over. Um,

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty impressive. You know, he plays the game the

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>right way. UM, and he's all over. So he's a

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>guy you got to to keep your eye out for

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>you again, kind of the same thing I echoed after

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the game. You know, I thought as a team, I

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>thought we played okay, but we lost. You know, at

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, we lost, and um, that's

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>all that we really were focused on, say with each game,

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, especially in the poet for sure. Yeah, I

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 1>feel like I've gotten comfortable, Um, you know, whether the

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>performance in the execution is there or not. I feel like,

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>just as the season's gone, um, every week, I'm feeling

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>more and more comfortable. Um, both physically and mentally started.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you probably yourself in the vision passing

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>as much as you have now. Certain things dictate that.

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>But if you've been surprised at all about just how

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>much you've been asked to throw the ball in your

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>rookie season, especially the last four of seven games. UM,

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess the biggest thing is just the games have

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.639
<v Speaker 1>dictated that. You know. It's one of those things you

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you go into a game with a game plan. You know,

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>we want to be balanced every game, but um, sometimes

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you get down. Sometimes it's it's what they're giving you.

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>So I guess it's hard to say that that I

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>expected to throw this much, but it's kind of just

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the way games have gone. So by no means am

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I complaining about it or anything. Um. You know, I

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 1>feel I feel like I've developed for sure. Um, But

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to say one way or the other on

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that of steps four where the game started to slow

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>down as a game started to slow down for you

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>yet yeah, you know, I think you know it goes

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>with me being comfortable mentally and physically that I was

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier. Um, every game, you know, I feel like

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>it's slowing down. Mentally it's coming um. And so again,

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>whether whether the execution the performance is there or not. Um,

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I've felt that I've gotten better mentally and more comfortable

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>every week. Quarterback. I guess like, yeah, for one, you

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.839
<v Speaker 1>can't let it affect you. And two, you know we've

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>had great guys step up, you know obviously, Um, last

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>week we had guys shuffle all around. But I thought

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>they did a great job. You know, I thought they

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>did a great job. They all kind of stepped up

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and owned their role. Um. But it's tough, you know,

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it's tough when you don't get that those opportunities during

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>the week, UM, to to be together and work with

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.119
<v Speaker 1>right tackle, working with the right guard and those those

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>sorts of things. But um, again I thought they did

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>a great job. I final played was there running communication

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that huddled top and let you know that he was hurt. No, No,

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.239
<v Speaker 1>it was just kind of an unfortunate thing. And um,

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're in the heat, the heat of the moment

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 1>like that, with whatever was twenty seconds left or something, Um,

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you just kind of roll with it and that it's

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>unfortunate for him, but just lay way it happened. You

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>guys are quarterbacks right away, similar styles. Yeah, I mean

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I followed him, you know for a while ever since

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 1>he um came out and everything, much like I followed

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other quarterbacks. A lot of respect for

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.079
<v Speaker 1>him and what he did, especially early in his career,

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>UM and what he's continued to do this kind of

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>makes it. How tough is that for you as a

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in the story? Block that out? Just focus on

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>about happy to worry about it. Amount of pressure, Yeah,

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's a part of it, but again you

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>got to block it out because there's so many other pieces, Um,

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>so many other things happening on each given play. And um,

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>they make it easy as well. You know, I trust

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>those guys. They do a great job. So um, when

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>when you can trust those guys and you know that

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna get their job done, um, and they're gonna

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>give it, give it their all for you to protect

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you and everything. Um, there's no there's really no stress involved, responi,

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. Not really about the same thing.

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>What do you miss most those nine games without Lane

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Johnson season? Is there something he did? Um? It's hard

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to say. Obviously, Lane's a great player. You know, I

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>think everyone knows that. Ever since he's coming to the league,

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>he's been a great player. Um, and you know we've

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 1>we've we've missed him right away. But um, I thought

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>guys have stepped up, you know, I thought guys have

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>done a great job. But um, when when he comes back,

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll be excited to get him back as well. Good good,

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very fortunate for that for sure. As to Darren,

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>look like you autibuled out or whatever. You guys were

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna run. What did you see? What I mean that

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that kind of prompted all that. Yeah, it was it

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>was a quick shift, um. We it was a design shift,

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>um to kind of get them kind of off off balance.

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>They were obviously misaligned. Um. Their cornerback tried to make

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a play because they were misaligned, and we capitalized on it.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 1>About the pre snap penalties, why has that been such

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>an issue? UM, It's probably a combination of things. UM.

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, obviously first and foremost lack of communication, lack

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>of focus, UM, lack of discipline. You know, there's there's things. UM,

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 1>in the heat of the battle, some things just go

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>that way, and UM it's unfortunately things we got to

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>just continue to keep cleaning up false starts. Does it

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 1>sometimes take alignment a while to get used to the

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>rhythm of a new vacadence, rhythm of a new quarterback? UM,

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's probably be a question for them. I

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's a it's a big thing, but um,

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>again that's probably a question for those guys. You know,

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>he would like to come back and get another opportunity

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>to protect your blind side him. I'm wondering what your

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>relationship like has been with him and him as a vetter.

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>He's been great. You know, he's been a great leader

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>for this team, especially this offense. UM. Having a guy

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>like that in the huddle right next to me, UM,

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 1>gives me a lot of confidence because I know he's

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna get his job done and I know he's gonna

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>get the other guys going as well. UM. So both

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>on and off the field, I have just an awesome

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:07.799
<v Speaker 1>relationship with that guy. And UM, he's been right for us. Yeah,

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that's been huge, you know, especially a couple of weeks

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>ago when Jordan went down, and UM, just the versatility

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>that Trey brings, you know, in the passing game, UM,

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>in the blocking game. Obviously he's out there on every

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>special teams. UM. The guy's just a good football player. UM.

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 1>And both on and off the field, you know, we

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>got a great, great relationship, great chemistry. So that's so

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:32.679
<v Speaker 1>that's big for for this team. Startable, the chemistry, content ability,

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>how how much Yeah, you know, you're always trying to

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>build that. You know, you're always trying to build that,

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and UM, that's something we're gonna the last three weeks there,

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 1>we're going to really try and hammer on um. But

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>but you're trying to build that camaraderie, that chemistry with

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>with every guy you know, and um, the situation that

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 1>we were in early in the year with with me

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of just missing some of those reps in preseason,

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>everything it was, I thought chemistry was was still good,

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>but and then urs went down for a few weeks,

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>so that was just guy that whether it was the

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>play calling, just dictating things, or just what they were

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>giving us. On the relationship that him and I had,

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was never not there, but it's obviously

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>developed and progressed to the point where it's at today,

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>which is a really good, really good one over this

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>tough stretch here that you can apply going forward into

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>next year and the rest of your NFL prog. Yeah,

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest thing is you realize every snap

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 1>is crucial, you know, because every every one of these losses,

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you can go back and pinpoint one, two, three plays.

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>That's just like, man, but that little detail, you know,

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that little thing if I was just locked it in

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that much more. If we would have just done just

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>tweaked this one little detail that we could have done,

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that outcome would be different, you know. And I think

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you realize how hard it is to win in this

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>league and to be consistent with that, So you really

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>just got to focus learn to focus in on every

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>play and um, you know, forget about the previous play, um,

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and just take them all one play at a time.

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's a big thing for for us

0:07:51.840 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>all to learn. Thanks. Thanks everybody.
