WEBVTT - Press Pass: Carson Wentz

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Finis fin a little radar or what do you can

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>see from the ups in terms of what this year

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.119
<v Speaker 1>so far? Yeah, you know they're very sound. You know

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>they play good football. Um, they don't do a ton,

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>but what they do they do well. You know I

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.080
<v Speaker 1>said that again last week about Minnesota. But but they

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 1>play fast, they're very sound. Um, they don't give up

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>too many big plays. So we got to work cut

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>out for us. I'm gonna go back from funds. You

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean? Um, I think it's just going

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>back to refining my my footwork primarily. I think it

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>is the biggest thing, just being in rhythm with with

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>the with the reeds and with the progressions and everything. Um.

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's anything that we really need to

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>like over analyze or freak out about. But it's just

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 1>some something that you can just kind of focus in

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit every week back not much we're on

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>different teams, but I mean throughout the process, I got

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to know him a little bit, got to talk to him.

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>A great guy, great dude. It and um, it's exciting

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to see that he's been having some success as well.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna be fun a fun one to go

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>play him like you. He was one of the Eagles

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>free draft visits and got thrilled like a lock press

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>conference scenario over some of the things that you were

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>asked from that scenario. Oh man, that was that was

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>a long time ago. That was a long time ago.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I just remember getting being thrown all sorts of kind

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>of questions, but I don't remember anything real specific. The

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>fact that there's another young quarterback in this division that

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you know you're gonna kind of see, you know, play

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>against them, but you'll see him, you know, twice a

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>year for the for the near future. Is that's something

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that kind of drives you, we think, sure, you know,

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess it doesn't really drive me, so to speak.

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>But it's exciting, you know. Obviously I got to know him, um,

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it's it's cool to see him doing well.

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>But obviously, hopefully we come out on top of this Sunday.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>See people in the draft. You expected God to be

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the guy who'd be compared to throughout the career. Prescott,

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>someone now who who didn't think these matchups are gonna

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>freak years ago? They might Again, I don't put too

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>much stock into that stuff, but obviously he's in. He's

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>a divisional rival, so very well could happen for a

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>long time. I'm sure you've heard about the rivalry with

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys and would have beat the Eagles fans Mountain

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Jackins was to say this delivery guy said beat the Cowboys.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Doug Peterson's wife has heard it at the grocery store.

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>What kind of introduction have you had, either with Eagles

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>fans or the whole thing about the rival yere um. Yeah,

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know how much this means to the city,

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>how much means of these fans. There's a lot of

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 1>excitement going on just with Eagles football, but definitely this week.

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, I recognize that, but but at the same time,

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't let that kind of bother me

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>or distract me from the main goal, and that's just

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 1>preparing every day because I know if I get sidetracked

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 1>by any of those things, it's it's going to mess

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>up the preparation and it'll affect the game on Sunday.

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Interactions with Eagle fans are about Pete the Cowboys. Not

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>too many, not too many yet. I'm sure the week's

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.679
<v Speaker 1>not over. Though you looked at the tape for this pass.

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>How do you think you can play? I need to

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>be better, you know, I think most portant that I I

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>need to play better. I need to be smarter. I

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>need to protect the football. Um. I think anytime you

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>have really had three turnovers, you know, anytime you have

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that many turnovers as an offense, we had four um

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>balls on the ground, you know, those things we got

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>to just clean up. You know. I think that that

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of, like Doug say, goes back to some of

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the fundamentals as well. Um things we just gotta get

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 1>an order. Um. But yeah, I gotta I gotta play

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>better sea or play calling in the game plan or

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>restricting the human terms of work you can do with

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>your arms trainers. Um, not really, no, I think just

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I think going in each week we have a really

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>good plan and um, you know how it is, it

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>never goes exactly according to plan. You know, sometimes you're

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>you're changing things mad games. So um, but but each

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>week I think we've we've gone in with a really

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>good plan and I trust the coaches that they're going

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to put us in a great situation. Throws as proved

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to your left side? What have you seen film there?

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And how do you tase there. It's really nothing you

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>need to fix. You just gotta just gotta make throw.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I joked around with him, I gotta be

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta be a better athlete, get around and make the throw.

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just playing simple. You just just gotta make throw to

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Aglar And it looked like he looked bad back a

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>little early and the ball was over him. You know

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>what was going on in that play? And how do

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>you guys sync up there so you can get some

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of those Yeah, you know, obviously, anytime you're taking a

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>chance down the field, especially third and long, Um, it's

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of a hit or miss. You know, it's a

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 1>big play or nothing. Um. Obviously, he I think he

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>got bumped on his route, so he was kind of

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>looking early and I was hoping he would kind of

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>keep taking it into the next window. Um. But those

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>are things we just got to be on the same

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>page and clean up. Guys. I think I only have

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>one thirty yard past play the last three games. Do

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>you feel like that's something you need to uh for

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason? Do you think it's something you need to

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>do more of it? Get those plays down the field, um,

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>when they're there. Absolutely, you know, those are things when

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>we take those chances. We want to hit them. But

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, you don't press about it. You

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 1>don't you don't get caught up, and you know, you

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.479
<v Speaker 1>get at times you gotta take what the defense gives you. Um.

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 1>But but when we take our chances, which we have

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>here and there, um, we gotta execute. We got to

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>execute a higher level watch the field. All other places

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to be made down the field. Yeah, there's definitely some

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>place to be made. But you know, so obviously we

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 1>haven't hit too many of them the last couple of weeks.

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 1>But you know, again, we don't press, we don't worry

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>about it too much. Um, they'll come. Are you seeing

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>any evidence of teams now that they have some film

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>on yet taking advantage of what they're seeing? Boy, hard

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>to say. I think for the most part, what we've

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>seen on film from teams is what we're getting on Sundays. Um.

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I think we for the most part are seeing that. UM.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I think as the week prolongs, or excuse me, as

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the year prolongs, we'll start to see some different things.

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>But but right now we're seeing, for the most part

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>what we see on film. How's the chemistry with Zach?

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I know that you want to take what the mass

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>games offer the times he's open. You know, have you

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.919
<v Speaker 1>guys have gotten together and had a dialogue about getting

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>him with football. Yeah, it's all part of the offense,

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, It's all part of the reads and kind

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>of how just how the flow of the game goes. Obviously,

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to get the ball to him more. I'd

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 1>love to get the ball receivers more. I'd love to

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>get everybody the ball more. Um. I'd like to complete

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>more passes too. You know, those are things I got

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>to clean up. But um, at the end of the day,

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.280
<v Speaker 1>we're finding the open guy as best we can. And UM,

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>it just so happened the last couple of games. He

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>hasn't had too many, too many targets. There's some affairs

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 1>when Jason work on practice. It's just continuing to just

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>do it, continuing to rep it. Um. Going back and

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.280
<v Speaker 1>looking at tape, a lot of them were me. You know,

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I just got catch the ball playing and simple. Um.

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.159
<v Speaker 1>I took my eyes off at too early a couple

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of times, trying to um make my reads before I

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>had the ball. So it's pretty simple stuff. Really. You

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>just gotta keep you know, going back to the basics

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>and just keep repping it certain way. Do you want

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to told to a certain ways? Coming? Actually, I mean

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>it's really not a big deal. I just I just

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>got to look it in. You know, I took my

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>eye off it a little early. I just looking at

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that the season you're having. It's almost six games that

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you remind yourself of that that you're still rolling. Yeah,

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, at this point, I don't really get too

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>caught up in that. I'm too busy worrying about the

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.479
<v Speaker 1>next week's oponent and everything. Um, I don't I don't

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 1>believe in the rookie excuse or anything like that. You know,

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm all about, um just winning ball games. Winning Now.

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Doug just talked about trying to keep your past in

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 1>touch around thirty. It doesn't want to throw the thirty

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>five times a game. He's had a comfortable number for you,

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>or do you need time to get into a rhythm

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>throw ball? Yeah, you know, whatever whatever Doug thinks is best.

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, I feel comfortable with however it works. Obviously,

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.880
<v Speaker 1>we know all know. Um, like I mentioned earlier, not

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>every game plan is gonna go perfect. You know, sometimes

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be down, have to throw more. Sometimes you're

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be up, um you're running the ball more. So.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just kind of a flow of the game thing.

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>But um, obviously as an offense, we like to be balanced,

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, we like to be balanced. I think we

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>have a very good running game, UM, very good quick

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>pass game, take shots when they're there. So um, yeah,

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't get too caught up in the breakdown of that. Anyways,

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>our coaches that had you, did you chance that they

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>would take you? Absolutely? You know, you leave there. Um,

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>it was a great week, you know for me personally

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>for being around those guys. But uh, you know, that's

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>just that's just the draft process, you know. I thought

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe I could go to thirty two different teams for

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a while there. So um, but but I was very

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>very fortunate and very excited it all played up. Did

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you did you happen to hear the commented Garry Jones

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>with me as they drafted day and here the best

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>quarterback there. He said that included the Carson Wentz. I

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>had not heard that. I had not heard that. No,

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>thanks about Rookie of the year type of stuff like that. No,

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's so far down down the Road,

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and honestly, that's all individual awards, and to me, that's

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>irrelevant if you're not winning games, So all that matters

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>is winning on Sundays. Thanks everybody,
