WEBVTT - Press Conference: Carson Wentz November 11

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Carson of Corson, You've had the ball in your hand

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>now late in the game to either tire go ahead

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>several times and you guys just haven't kind of gotten

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>over the top there or were some of the problems

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>down the stretch through. Yeah, we just didn't execute an execute.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean it came out second half, Um, I thought

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>we were moving the ball well. Um, slow start really

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>really hurt us. Looking back, Um, first half, putting out

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>three points, the turnover I had, you know, all that stuff,

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>UM gonna make it tough to win in games like

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>this where uh, they're they're big kind of ball control

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>team and your drives are really limited and so every

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>drive is really important. And we started off slow and

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>that really hurt us. And at the end of the game,

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>we just didn't get it done starting slow. I'm not

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>sure thirty two, fourth and seven there in the fourth

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>quarter of what went wrong? Execution I mean at the

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, execution screenplay, we just missed it.

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Um the play at our Uh you know, we we

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>dial it up and it's right at the sticks and

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>came up short it. Carson and had obviously had a

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of success this year. I think you're charged sixteen

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>times today he is they're good and bad to that

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>you want to food the ball to different people a

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit, Yeah, I mean it's always great, um, when

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>you can spread the ball around to everybody. Um, tonight

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>it just so happened to be, you know, a lot

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>of chances with zach Um with the way they were

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>playing coverages and the way they played their techniques, and um,

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>it was Zac had a great game, you know. So. Um,

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many times we threw to him

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>or how many completions the ab but I'm sure it

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>was a lot. Um. And so to have that chemistry

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>with him, with the way they were playing him, that's

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>just just the way it worked out tonight. And that

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>going back to that fourth and six or seven or

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was, to Earth's Um, why did that Why

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>did that play you know fall short of the sticks

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>on them? Yeah, I mean we knew it was gonna

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>be close. Um. It was his type man coverage, so, um,

0:01:58.480 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>we knew it was gonna be right at the stick.

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the day we came up short.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>The one opportunity to all shone down the right sideline.

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Would you have to see on that plane which one

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about? U. It was al Shon deep on

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the right and then earlier in the second quartering good Yeah,

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>um yeah, I gotta get more more behind that throw. Um,

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't quite finish it, you know, I couldn't quite

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>see what how it ended up the end result was.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>But no, I didn't get quite enough on the throw

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>to attempt to al shut in the end zone. Did

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you expect him to go a little further on that

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>or what happened on that in completion? Yeah? I mean

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 1>the way they were playing coverage, we talked about it

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>all week and then they the way they reacted on

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the field was a little differently. And um, that's one

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 1>that we're kicking ourselves. We want to have back and

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>just missed it. Slow starts, I'll eat it. I think

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys have three touchdowns in nine games in the

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>first quarter at the two in the same game. You

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>think it's an issue? Do you think it's something that

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>you need to resolve? Is it's just a flukey thing.

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you feel differ for early in games?

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I know I personally don't feel different. Um. You know,

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>some people can say you want to settle in all

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>those things. I don't feel that way. Um. You know,

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was something I don't want to talk

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>about last year. But that's something that we did really

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>well last year. And it's really hard to put your

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>finger on why, um it is the way it is

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>this year. A lot of it's just little execution things

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>that are a big deal. Um. And so I mean,

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>we got to go back and look and see what

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>our teams doing to us early in the game. Why

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>are we having these slow starts? And really, you know,

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 1>look hard in the mirror, because I think tonight that's

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>what costs us. Mentioned sounds like the scripted plays that

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the other team is all over them every week, you know,

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>one yard passes and picks and things like that. It's

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>like they know what's coming those. What was the question

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to the layman on the slow starts. It looks like

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the scripted plays are just being run right into the

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>teeth of the defense. So if you know, it's good

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>good observation. I mentioned you said look at yourselves in

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the mirror. Duck said that was his message to the

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>team afterwards. You have make sure that you're doing everything

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you can to prepare. What do you as someone who

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>has the Polstal locker room. What do you what are

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you sensing that? I mean, I know this one hurt.

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.799
<v Speaker 1>You know this one hurt obviously. UM, Sunday night Football

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Division One opponent, the Cowboys coming into our home. Um. Really,

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the way we've played the last couple of times at home,

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's not what we pride ourselves on. And

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>this one hurts. So I know, UM, we got a

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of veterans in there, a lot of leadership and uh,

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you said, like coach said, UM, and

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna keep echoing the same thing. We all got

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.799
<v Speaker 1>to look in the mirror. What can we do differently?

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Where can we be better? Um? And we realized a

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are gonna want to write us off

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>at this point, and UM, now it's just time to

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>play ball and then try and go shock some people.

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like you to follow up on that?

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>That's been the message before from from me? What makes

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you think these next seven teams are going to be

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>any different? Yeah, I mean, like you said, that's been

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the message before. UM. Some extent, I feel like this

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>press conference has been a broken record almost. You know,

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>we've been here a couple of times and we know,

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, every one of these

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>games is closed and this is the National Football League

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>gets hard to win. Um, and we've letting, we've let

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>a handful get away from us now that we're really

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>just kicking ourselves. And um, like you said, I mean

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 1>we've said it before. So it's really just are are

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>we gonna step up? Are we gonna make good corrections?

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Are we gonna come out faster each week? Um? And

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I believe we have the guys to do that.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Designed shorter passes, screens had not been as successful as

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>they were last year. Is that do you see that?

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Is that a theme that's been running through the course

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>of the year to say, honestly, Um, after to night,

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to go watch the film just thinking back

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on some I know we had a couple of screens

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that were right there. Um, even that third and two

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>late in the game, we had it right there. We

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>just the one guy you know, knife through and made

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>the play. And um, you know, they're the same stuff

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.359
<v Speaker 1>that we hit last week or two weeks go ast

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville for the thirty five year touchdown or whatever it was.

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.479
<v Speaker 1>And so those are just little things that we're just

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>missing by this much. That make a big difference. You

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>look like Golden kind of had a fairly limited package

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>of plays. Is that tough at all? You're trying to

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>work a guy into the offense. I mean, anytime you're

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to work a guy in the middle of season,

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it's tough. You know, he's done a great job picking

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 1>things out from the second he got here. He's putting

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of time at the facility, you know,

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>meeting with coaches, asking questions. And I feel confident in

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>him wherever we put him in, whatever we asked him

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to do. Hard to say. Could we have used him

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>differently tonight? Hard to say. But I'm really confident in

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>him as a player and as a teammate going forward here,

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure he'll get more and more involved as

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 1>we go. Of course, this may seem like an unfair

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>question considering how far you've come to come back from

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>your injury. What what do you think you can do

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>better or more of to get this team back on track. Yeah,

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we just gotta ex you better at the

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>end of the day. And that comes on my shoulders,

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that comes on the old line, That comes on everybody. Um,

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>execution is the biggest thing. It's really hard to stand

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>up here after a game and just pinpoint one thing. Um,

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, starting slow at something that that I think

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I can I can do better, and making plays early

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>in the game, trying to get guys going. Um. But again,

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>it's really hard to just put your finger on one thing. Um.

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>But but executing, you know, some of the situational football,

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>some of those those red zone plays have liked played

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>al Sean. Uh, those are things we just gotta hit.

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>We gotta hit. And that's all at the end of

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the day, just executions. Are you seeing the execution in

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>practice with what's have been like in the practice field?

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Is it just in the game that kind of clubs Yeah,

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean practice looks good. You know. I thought even tonight,

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>execution later in the game wasn't bad. Um, just early

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>in the game we were just slow, start missing things

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>here and there. Um. At the end of the day, though,

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>that's a good football they played, that's a good defense. Um.

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>They did some things early to kind of get us

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>out of our out of our rhythm a little bit.

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta tip your hat to them at some point.

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And I thought we made great adjustments at halftime. We

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>just you know, it's too little, too late, a tendency

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>to maybe try a little too hard, to start fast

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>to the point where it becomes kind of productive. I

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>mean there could be. I can't say that's what's happening

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to us. Like I said, it's a culmination of things.

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, you gotta tap

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>your hat to them. Like I said, they did some

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>things early too to kind of take away what we

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do, made some plays and we stend next

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>year enough early in the game. Thanks
