0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>It finally feels like training camp is truly underway. Hello

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Eagles fans, I'm Chris McPherson and welcome to Inside Training Camp,

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.919
<v Speaker 1>presented by Expanding. We've got a great show for you

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>on this Friday. We're gonna showcase highlights from the first

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>full squad practices, but we're gonna focus a little bit

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.599
<v Speaker 1>on the quarterback position. We're gonna let you listen in

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>as to what it's like to be quarterbacks coach Don

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Dee Philippo during practice. But we're gonna get things kicked

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>off the right way. Our Alex Smith goes one on

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>one with the man who is the number two overall

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>pick in twenty sixteen, had a record setting a rookie

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>season and quite the off season getting ready for a

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>second year in the NFL. Here's our sitdown with quarterback

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Carson Wentz. Hi, everyone, and welcome to the Novacare Complex.

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Eagles training camp well underway here in South Philadelphia. I'm

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith, joined by Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. Carson, I

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>know you've been here all week long with some of

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the rookies and selected vets, but now that the whole

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>team is here, does it kind of feel like the

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>first day of school. I mean, how exciting is it

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to have everybody back into it did yesterday? It sure did?

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>You know? That's what I actually told somebody that I'm

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>just finally getting everybody here. I know I can speak

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>for more than just myself. We're all just really excited

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to finally get back. You know, summer was great, great

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to get away, but we truly believe we're building something

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>special here and I think a lot of us are

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>chomping at the bit to get back. So seeing everybody

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>again yesterday, I'm sitting in those meetings and everything. It's

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>just been an exciting time. So everybody gets back in.

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Coach Peterson addresses the team. What's the message this year

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>after going seven to nine last year? Yeah, well the

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>message is pretty pretty clear. You know that that wasn't

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>good enough, that's not where we want to be. And um,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, we realize how close we were

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>in so many games. So the message is this this

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>league is, uh, it's hard to win. It's hard to

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>win close games. So so we're gonna we're gonna hopefully

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>switch switch that around a little bit, and um, you know,

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>hopefully we can our goal is to win the division

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and then keep playing in the January and see what happens.

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's been the resounding message for sure. Carson. I

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>know last year was a crazy year from you in

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>terms of the draft and then being the in the

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 1>starter right before the season starts. But did you take

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 1>some time this offseason to kind of, you know, take

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>a step back and reflect on it? For sure? Yeah,

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>that was that was the biggest thing. I think the

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>month of January and most of February for me to

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>just kind of get away from football for a little bit.

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>You know. I made a deal with with the coaches

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>that for a good month I wouldn't wouldn't throw a

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>football and touch it. It was a little bit, but

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>it was really good for me at the same time.

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was good um because like you said

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>that that first year, playing all sixteen games, going through

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the draft process, it was all just a whirlwin. Um.

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>So I've really was able to take that time away

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and come back for OSPs and OTAs and you know,

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>just kind of hungry for it. Then take a little

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>more time this summer and I've just been really really

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>anti chomping at the bait, ready to go, and I

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 1>just feel a lot more refreshed and rejuvenated and ready

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>to go because I did take that time. What do

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you think the biggest thing you took away from last

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 1>year was what was the biggest learning point for you?

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest thing, kind of like I already

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>talked about, is just it's hard to win. You know,

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>this league is everybody's so close, you know, everybody anybody

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>can beat anybody any Sunday. So it's hard to win.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>And we just got to learn how in those in

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>those close situations, those type moments, to find a way

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to dig deep and get it done at the end. Carson,

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>are you a guy who puts a lot of stock

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>into your own personal stats? Because in all of sports,

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>but really the quarterback position, people tend to look at touchdowns, interceptions,

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, completion percentage. Do you put any stock in

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>your own stats? I don't put stock in personal stats.

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>The only stat I care about his wins, you know,

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>wins and losses. At the end of the day, that's

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>what matters. That's what a quarterback is judged on and

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>should be judged on. You know, stats as they come

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and go, you know, but at the end of the day,

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>are we winning or not? Talking about the quarterback room,

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>you have Nick Foles in here, a guy who's been

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>here before he started, he knows this fan base. What's

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>it been like working with Nick? Yeah, it's been great.

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, him and I are very similar are off

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the field, similar beliefs, similar you know, values and everything.

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's been great to kind of pick his brain

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit and get to know him, and you know,

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>our relationship, you know, as far as football goes, is

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of just beginning, and so this I know this

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>season will be a fun year with him, and then

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>also Matt mcgloyin. You know, we're all kind of different,

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>but we have the same same goals and we all

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>get it. So it's cool to kind of see the

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>dynamic kind of coming together as camps here. Externally, from

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a fan's perspective, there's always high expectations with this team.

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>They're the most passionate fans in the NFL. But do

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>you set expectations internally? Oh for sure, you know my expectations,

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I said, our goal and expectations. There's

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.479
<v Speaker 1>to be playing into January and see what happens. And

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 1>I definitely have high expectations, you know, seven to nine.

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>For me, it'll never be good enough. You know, that

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of takes me off to be done before the playoffs,

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>and I never want to have that feeling again. Of course,

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>to my final question for you here, I know it's

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>been a busy off season for you, but one thing

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 1>you were able to do was start your AO one Foundation.

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>How happy are you to finally get that going? Yeah,

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that was super exciting, you know it was. It's kind

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>of a long time coming because you know, I think

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of told the number of people, but once

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I was drafted, I knew I wanted to do something

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 1>with the foundation and find a way to give back,

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>So that was kind of a long time coming. It

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>was stressful a little bit setting it up and making

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>things go, but my brother was a huge part of

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>that and helping facilitate everything. So getting the foundation website going,

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>getting the event going back in North Dacode, everything went

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>really well and I'm really excited to see where the

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Lord takes that. Carson Wentz, thank you very much, appreciate

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.000

<v Speaker 1>us right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Great stuff

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Alex Now. One of the reasons why Carson Wentz has

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>been able to make a smooth transition from the college

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>to the pro game has been the support step around him.

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>One of those men quarterbacks coach John D. Philippo helped

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>get Derek Carr's career off the ground before coming to Philadelphia.

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.400
