WEBVTT - Press Conference: Carson Wentz October 11

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, game, guy, Carson. After much as you guys have

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 1>kind of struggled offensively red zone kind of feeling like

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you've beaten yourselves. You talked about it last week. To

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>do what you guys did tonight help proud of you

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>of yourself in this offense. Yeah, I thought it was

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>huge obviously. UM, just first of all, overall, it's a

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>big win for us. You know, NFC East, finally get

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>that conference going. UM short week like it was, UM

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>cleaned up a handful of mistakes. Obviously we weren't perfect night,

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>but UM, come out early in the first quarter, get

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>points on the board, get point on the board, that

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 1>first drive right away. UM, that stuff was huge. So

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>it was a bit big win for with it with

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the lead, what changed in terms of the play calling? Yeah,

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean you guys saw it. I mean

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>it's still smilar Um. I think we're just everyone's a

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>more dynamic team when you have the lead. UM defense

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of feeds off that. It's always big for us

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.119
<v Speaker 1>to get up early. And like I've I mean I've

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>told you guys countless times. I mean we preached start fast, UM,

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and tonight we finally did that. Why do you think

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you're able to start fast today. I mean, the defense

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>made heck of a play. He'd even made a huge

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>play put us in great field position. Um, and then

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>all shown and I just made a play on the

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>third down, A line held up, and from then it

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>just kind of felt like we were rolling from there.

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Last year, it took a little while for you when

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>al shown seemed to get in sank that hasn't been

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>issued this ye. What is it just familiarity? What's the difference.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean you could say that, you could say familiarity.

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously we still didn't get a huge offseason together.

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>We were both rehabbing and stuff. So, um, I think

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>just last year just playing playing games on the field, UM,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>just getting more comfortable with each other as the year

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>went on. I think that paid huge dividends in terms

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>of progression. On the first touchdown, he's gotta take us

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>through the play, Um, he was actually the first read,

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>but they had him double double covered, and uh, they

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>really had everything else covered well. So the O line

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>did a great job of holding up and down there.

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when we're in the red zone sometimes you

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>just got to improvise, and you know it's not always

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the smartest thing to throw back across your body. But

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>when you got a guy like Alshon back at the

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 1>ends and you can really trust him to make a play,

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 1>you talk to talk about you hold the ball too long.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Obviously there was six and a half seconds, and you

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>talked about Yeah, I mean, that's just part of it.

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's there's there's good plays and bad plays

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>that come from it. So sometimes you got to live

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>with it. And tonight we fortunately made some good ones.

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>You guys moving forward and move forward here? How much

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>confidence can this one win? And the things that you

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 1>did tonight, even though I know you want to be better,

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>but the things that you did, how much can you

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>guys build up? Because yeah, I mean it's huge. Obviously

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>being three and three is a heck of a lot

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>better than being two and four, being one and own

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the division. Um, there's definitely things we can build on.

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>We can kind of use it as momentum now and

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of pointing to some things that say, hey,

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.119
<v Speaker 1>this is who we are. Don't forget that and then

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>build build from here. Well, what does it mean to

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you to have your high scoring game of the year

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>with you know, so those young off out of linemen

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and they're finishing the game. They're all big B and

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Isaac Cmo. Yeah, I mean it's huge for those guys. Um.

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>The nice thing about our whole line is we feel

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>we have depth. We feel like when an a tackle

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>goes down, V steps in when someone else goes down

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>at guard. You know, always came in tonight, Isaac, the

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>last couple of games. We just feel like we have

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>really good depth there and we're fortunate in that regard.

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>So those guys played great to night. So I remember

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the catch that Agila were added, like getting warm tipped

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and then he that was a blessing from above, that's

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>for sure. I thought that was going right to Landon

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Collins and Nelly just snuck right in and took it.

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>From from what Alshon gives you on the field, just

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>from kind of a confidenced personality standpoint, what does he

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>mean for the offense? I mean, he's he's a leader.

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's you know, very soft spoken, as you

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>guys probably know, but he works his tail off. He

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>works his tail off, and you know what you're gonna

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>get with him weekend and week out, and just an

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>awesome guy to have. Having the locker room. Awesome got

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>to have on the field, and he makes plays all

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the time. She like he used kind of everybody today,

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Corey cold passes, Jordan had those two first downs in

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>a row. There Alshan's getting involved. How big is it

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>to kind of that you're not just Nelson and Zach,

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of involving everybody. I mean, that's that's huge.

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I think, really that's kind of we did a lot

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>last year. You know, we just really you could look

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>in the statute every week and there'll be seven, eight,

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>nine guys here and there, and um, that's just something

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>coach does a great job of just spreading the ball

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>out a getting those guys in space to make plays.

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>And guys are making plays to night. We're some of

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the differences. It's the game in a long terms of

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>protection on the offensive life some hits it early on.

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>What changed, I don't know if much change. I think

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 1>just those guys settled in and um, some of them early.

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, I could have probably helped out as well,

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.039
<v Speaker 1>but um, I'll have to go back and watch the film.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>But I think more than anything, those guys just settled

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>in and we're playing fast and confidently. All set said

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.359
<v Speaker 1>on the screen. You guys borrowed that one from the Patriots.

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I think ran at last. What coach kind of gets

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>credit for that? When does that come to you guys

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>during the week and then be implemented here? And so

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>we're always watching, you know, plays across the league. Coaches

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>do a great job with that of implementing things, um,

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>seeing what what's working around the league and bringing those

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>up and so, uh, you know, they schemed that one

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>up and it was definitely an easy passing touchdown for me.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll take it. And so from your perspective, it's different

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>night that Wasn't there the best five games? Um? You know,

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a good question. You know, I think more

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.239
<v Speaker 1>than anything, we just think we stayed ahead of the chains.

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot much better. Um.

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And then really offensively and defensively, we just fed off

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>each other, you know. I think that's something we do

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>so well when we get that role in and so

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>to night, it was good to get a goal. Oppressive,

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the lane played on that angle injury? It's as

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>it was? Yeah, yeah, I don't really know the extent

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of it. Um, I know Lane's warrior though I know

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna give it everything he's gotten. Um, you know,

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.599
<v Speaker 1>it was great to have him out there as for sure.

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>How important was it to get Corey back in the offense,

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>especially when loose and Jay was so disappointing to have

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>him back in the in the mix? Yeah, core is

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>a huge part of this offense. You know, you saw

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it especially later last year, of what he kind of

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>brings both in the passing game and in the running

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>game screens and everything else that he does. So I'm

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>getting him involved, um was huge. And and really just

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>keep kind of mixing up those running backs and getting

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>them touches in different ways. Uh, something coach does a

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>great job of and those guys are huge for us

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the end. So do you see about him that kind

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.799
<v Speaker 1>of I mean he he scores a lot of touchdowns

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>for a guy that doesn't touch the ball out Yeah,

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean he hits the whole, you know, I think

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>more than anything you see when he when he's in there,

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>when he's running, he attacks that hole and he hits

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>it hard. And um, I think that that brings up

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of touchdowns because of it. Did you feel

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>like you had to put the team on your back

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 1>or do anything about that nature. No, not at all.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, I feel like we're such a balanced off

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we got you know, great guys up

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>front both run blocking and that can open some lanes

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and the right backs to do their job. So you know,

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't but I never feel like I got to

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>take it on my back, so to speak. And you know,

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I just spread the ball out and get these guys

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>touches however we can, and coach does a great job

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>of designing the game plan each week. So again it

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>was really good team winning night. You guys are able

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.039
<v Speaker 1>to sprinkling some RPOs with they were they defending them

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>defense differently than they had other teams have been doing.

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>And why they were Everyone defends them a little differently,

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think everyone just plays their their normal

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 1>defense to it, so tonight they were a little different,

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and um, they were working to night. So you know,

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>like like I think I said last week, we really

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>have them in every week, and um, if they're working,

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll kind of come back to him here and there,

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and if they're not, we kind of get away from him.

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>That's just kind of the way it goes. You make

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>a play when you make a play for growing across

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>your body and it results in a touchdown. When you

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>go back to the sideline, what do the coaches say? Nothing?

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Good play? Do you take pride in the fact that

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you now not only went to three and three, but

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you will so knock the other team if you beat

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Tonight to one in five and it's almost like, you know,

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you put your foot on their neck a little bit

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and knock them out of contention. And you know where

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>we just we just look at it as one to

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>o in the conference. You know, I think that's huge

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>for us to just get this the conference, Uh started

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>out the right way to get the division going, um

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>be one and oh and really tied at the top

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. So, uh, that's definitely good for
