Speaker 1: He hasn't looked like a guy coming off knee surgeries.
Speaker 1: And it's like OTAs um all training camp. He's looked great.
Speaker 1: He's putting a ton of work. I kind of seeing
Speaker 1: the entire journey, UM from a really cool advantage point.
Speaker 1: I was just proud of him, proud of half. He
Speaker 1: kind of endured through everything. A lot of things he
Speaker 1: couldn't control throughout this, and he just continued to battle
Speaker 1: each and every day, focus on getting better each and
Speaker 1: every day. And he did that. Took off a couple
Speaker 1: of times with his speak. We all gasped, Yeah, did
Speaker 1: you guys here like that? Wasn't happy? No, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think everyone kind of expected that from him. He
Speaker 1: said many times he's not gonna change his playing style. UM,
Speaker 1: I thought he. I mean, he didn't really take any
Speaker 1: hits in the open field. He kind of avoided it,
Speaker 1: even though he was scrambling. He got out of bounce
Speaker 1: a few times. UM. I mean, but we need that too.
Speaker 1: We need that to win football games and the main
Speaker 1: goals to win football games in the city, UM, for
Speaker 1: this city, UM, and we need to we need him
Speaker 1: to do that on third and five when uh, there's
Speaker 1: pressure in his face, and he's kind of got to
Speaker 1: extend the play. UM. So I thought he played great
Speaker 1: at that hub before the last score. Yeah, very positive. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we faced a lot of adversity. I think we were
Speaker 1: second and thirty at one point, UM had a fourth
Speaker 1: down play in there. So just continue to stay positive. UM.
Speaker 1: I think the thing that about this team that continually
Speaker 1: sticks out is just the resiliency of this team, the
Speaker 1: fight of this team. UM. No matter what we're going through,
Speaker 1: no matter what the scores, We're gonna play all sixty minutes,
Speaker 1: UM and longer if needed. You talk about the resilience.
Speaker 1: It's been a really long time since you guys have
Speaker 1: had to redown from a loss. So how does it
Speaker 1: feel good? I mean last week we didn't play ourselves.
Speaker 1: We didn't play our best football, UM on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball, UM, and I thought to come out
Speaker 1: here under elements. I mean, we haven't played in the
Speaker 1: ring game in a long time, and it was continuous
Speaker 1: at time, especially in the middle of the game. And
Speaker 1: just to overcome all all the adversity that we faced, UM,
Speaker 1: coming down, coming from behind and battling against the really
Speaker 1: well coached team. UH, it was very good. Win for us.
Speaker 1: Dallas had a big game. We had a touchdown looking
Speaker 1: at you for him, and yeah, I mean it's big.
Speaker 1: We need him to be a player for us. His
Speaker 1: role will continue to evolve and hopefully increase, and we
Speaker 1: need him. We need him to go out there and
Speaker 1: contribute each and every week in the run game, man
Speaker 1: in the past game. And um, this is definitely a
Speaker 1: great step for him. Happy for him first touchdown at home.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's pumps all to talk about Carson the
Speaker 1: running game without Jay, without Darren. Yeah, look like you
Speaker 1: had a really great day for Corey win Delt. I mean,
Speaker 1: those guys are huge. I mean we knew the type
Speaker 1: of players they are. Um, that's why I know him
Speaker 1: was really fretted too much. Obviously we lost two great
Speaker 1: players today that those guys didn't play like you said,
Speaker 1: But Corey Wendel, those are guys that are really good
Speaker 1: football players. We had a lot of confidence and those
Speaker 1: guys one Dell hits the whole, probably the hardest on
Speaker 1: the team. He's really explosive back. And Corey is just
Speaker 1: a really really good football player. UM, So we have
Speaker 1: all the confidence in the world and those guys, Um
Speaker 1: and at all eleven positions. If one guy goes down.
Speaker 1: This team wasn't built around one guy as we saw
Speaker 1: last year. Um so the whole mindset, the next man
Speaker 1: up mindset. You don't want to experience that this early,
Speaker 1: but at that position, and I thought everyone stepped up.
Speaker 1: You talk about last week, you mentioned that Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: didn't need to be Superman, he just needs to be himself. Yea,
Speaker 1: what can a game like this do for his confidence
Speaker 1: in the room? He still has to grow in the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Yeah, I mean, I think, like
Speaker 1: you said, the biggest point is that there's room to
Speaker 1: grow for all of us. I mean in the red
Speaker 1: if we score touchdowns in the red zone today, we're
Speaker 1: not worried about trying to get a fourth down stop
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. So there's definitely a
Speaker 1: room for improvement. But at the same time, we're happy
Speaker 1: that we got up. If you're with the w and
Speaker 1: Carson's ability to lead the offense and control the game,
Speaker 1: it's probably second and none with any guy I've ever
Speaker 1: played with back practice and getting back out of the field,
Speaker 1: and his leadership that he brought to the level as well.
Speaker 1: I mean, how impressive is it everything that he's gone
Speaker 1: through to have done what he did today. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just so consistent. I think that's the thing that's
Speaker 1: set out. He was never too high, never too low
Speaker 1: throughout the entire process. And when you're dealing with the
Speaker 1: injury of that severity, it's going to be grueling at times.
Speaker 1: And Carson was even keeled throughout the entire thing. He
Speaker 1: was very um focused on just improving each and every
Speaker 1: day given all the lord everything he had, UM. And
Speaker 1: I think that perspective allowed him to just remain so
Speaker 1: calm and collected throughout the entire game, um and throughout
Speaker 1: this entire process. But I think there's something like fourteen
Speaker 1: receptions between you and Dallas today. What what does his
Speaker 1: evolution do for your position? And it thinks you guys
Speaker 1: can do on offense? Yeah, I mean it's huge. Um.
Speaker 1: The ability to move me around is probably something that
Speaker 1: we haven't really had in the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: I pretty much played in the same spot, um for
Speaker 1: the previous two years that Doug's been here, UM, And
Speaker 1: so the ability that's kind of get me in different
Speaker 1: positions and a defense doesn't know where I'm going to
Speaker 1: be pre snapped could be huge for us and huge
Speaker 1: for the offense. And hopefully I can I can make
Speaker 1: plays with my numbers. Called. Um, but we gotta be
Speaker 1: better in the red zone. That's kind of the one
Speaker 1: to keep takeaway from an offensive perspective, I thought, Um,
Speaker 1: the one area we have to be we'd be better
Speaker 1: in the red zone. We can't settle for field goals.
Speaker 1: Obviously we got a really good kicker, um, but we
Speaker 1: don't want him working to our the last one For me,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We're fun for you to be able to
Speaker 1: move around like that. Oh yeah, for sure. I mean
Speaker 1: I think it challenges you. Um. You see the different
Speaker 1: the defense a little differently the more you move around. UM.
Speaker 1: So I do like it a lot. Game winning drives
Speaker 1: Umble second to twenty six and Carson a few other
Speaker 1: players see. Um, he spoke spoke off sorry, kind of
Speaker 1: talking to you guys and had a little message do
Speaker 1: you or call it? I think I mean it was
Speaker 1: just a message of positivity, Uh like, don't don't worry,
Speaker 1: you don't get too anxious about it. Just go out
Speaker 1: there and do your job. Um, And he called the play.
Speaker 1: I kind of knew that I was gonna be the
Speaker 1: guy to get the ball. UM. The guy was all
Speaker 1: over me at the time holding UM and the and
Speaker 1: the rough made the right call. I was happy that
Speaker 1: Carson stood on me because some of those times on
Speaker 1: the ball doesn't come to you, they don't call it. UM.
Speaker 1: So it was a really good play by Carson, just
Speaker 1: throwing the ball when he needed to. UM, and just
Speaker 1: the message of positivity that no matter what we're facing,
Speaker 1: no matter what adversity we're facing, we're gonna get the
Speaker 1: job done in the end zone earlier in the game
Speaker 1: that you think he got there early. UM, I'll have
Speaker 1: to see it on film. UM. I don't know exactly.
Speaker 1: Carson was pretty adamant about it. He had obviously a
Speaker 1: really good view. UM. But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: mean the plea should have been close in my eyes. UM,
Speaker 1: we gotta be better. I gotta be better. UM, and
Speaker 1: we will see to you and this last year or
Speaker 1: was there a little bit or rosson could tell difference. No,
Speaker 1: he looked the same old Carson, honestly. UM, he looked
Speaker 1: like that all training camp. UM. I'm not surprised by
Speaker 1: the way he came out today and executed. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: weather was different than probably we face probably the most
Speaker 1: rain I've played in in a long time here, um,
Speaker 1: and so same old Carson. Obviously it's not easy playing
Speaker 1: under those conditions at times as a skill position as
Speaker 1: a quarterback, but we executed to the best of our
Speaker 1: abilities and we gotta win. Jack, we did a Dallas
Speaker 1: show you today. Yeah. Just the ability to kind of
Speaker 1: stay focused on the goal. Obviously last week he didn't
Speaker 1: play a lot, UM and just maintain the focus of
Speaker 1: getting better each and every week, um, and not getting
Speaker 1: too down of not playing. I mean that's kind of
Speaker 1: how the season is when you're young. I was in
Speaker 1: that role at times. Some weeks you play a lot,
Speaker 1: some weeks you don't play as much. Um. Luckily, in
Speaker 1: this offense, we can run two tight ends, where as
Speaker 1: in the past when I was rookie, it's pretty much
Speaker 1: one tight end. Um. So we need him to develop.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the bottom line. We need him to
Speaker 1: have a role. He's a really good football player, um,
Speaker 1: and it helps us how much slave offense. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm saying he needs Alan, but how much better will
Speaker 1: be once he gets back, especially with stretching the field
Speaker 1: and on the outside and man Alshan is a dominant player. UM.
Speaker 1: Defenses have to respect him. Defenses played more too high
Speaker 1: because they want to help the corners against him because
Speaker 1: he's so big and so strong on the outside, and
Speaker 1: it just allows us to move people around more. Um.
Speaker 1: Defenses aren't gonna be able to focus on Nelly myself,
Speaker 1: UM Dallas after today, they gotta be there be there
Speaker 1: an account for al Sean um because he's a really
Speaker 1: good football player. But at the same time, we got
Speaker 1: a lot of good football players. But it's good. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be nice when he's back because there's many many
Speaker 1: weapons especially so yeah, yeah, same old Carson. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a guy expect expected. I didn't expect him to
Speaker 1: come out here and freaking just go through the motions
Speaker 1: when he was scrambling. UM. I thought. The good thing
Speaker 1: is that he didn't really take any shots. Um. He
Speaker 1: seemed to get down and not put his body in
Speaker 1: harm's way, Like even on that play he was diving
Speaker 1: and no one was around him. Um, and so he
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna take a shot. Um. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I mean, we need that from a quarterback because it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be perfect all the time. The pocket is
Speaker 1: not gonna be perfect, the routes are gonna be perfect,
Speaker 1: and when you play with a quarterback that can extend
Speaker 1: plays like he can um, it's very beneficial for our offense.
