WEBVTT - Press Pass: Carson Wentz

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And then trying to keep them. Yeah, I think controling

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the ball, staying on the field, not just this game,

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>but that's kind of just our offense, you know. I

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>think that's huge every game. UM, Converting third down, standing

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>on the field, I mean, our offense, that's kind of

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 1>what we're made up on, UM, what we pride ourselves on.

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>So it'll be huge again Monday night. How close do

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you are to kind of recapturing where

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you were as an offense the first month of the season.

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 1>I think we're close, you know. I think we all

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>come back. We watched the tape, you know, and you

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>just see little things, you know, you see, but the

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>little things add up. But we we know we're right there.

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>You know. Obviously we got a lot of young guys

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>myself included, that are getting all these all this experience,

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>all these learning opportunities, and we see them all you know,

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>we see everyonere just like, oh, we're right there, you know.

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>So UM, we know we can do it. We just

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>got to fine tune our details and we'll be all right.

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>So much. Yeah, you know, I think the biggest thing,

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, those those teams are making plays. UM had

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>some good schemes going. Um, I think Green Bay's got

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>a number of injuries, you know, and um so I

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>think it'll be interesting to see who's who's where, who's

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>lined up where. They like to mix it up, do

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you know, different pressures from different things.

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Um So it'll be interesting to see what type of

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>really what guys will be out there on Monday night. Yeah,

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I followed Aaron. I mean, being being from North Dakota,

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>the Packers are on quite a bit. Um seeing what

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.960
<v Speaker 1>what Aaron has done since he's came into the league,

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's impressive. You know, he's a he's always one

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>of the top guys in the league, and he's impressive.

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Some of the things he does. Um, some of the

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>things you see on tape that he can do are

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>really impressive. So I'm excited to go up against him

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a few years if we're going to get a chance

0:01:55.680 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>to start. Once you got it, well, you know, I

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>never thinking about it, you know. I think the biggest

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>thing is every it's all case by case. You know,

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.679
<v Speaker 1>every guy's different, Every situation is different. Some guys are ready,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>some guys are and I'm not saying he wasn't, but

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just really case by case. UM, so

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't put a lot of stock into that, and

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>what is going on with Nelson and his comments post

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>game and just one of what what kind of approach

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>you take? And you know, yeah, obviously I know Nelson

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>really well, you know, obviously better than the better than

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>most you guys here. And I mean I just keep

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>telling him I got a lot of confidence in him still,

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know, Um, mistakes happen, and he's the guy,

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>he's the last guy that's gonna that's trying to make mistakes.

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, he wants to be perfect, he wants to

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>be great. Um, And so I just keep telling him.

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just positive with him. You know, there's no reason

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to hang your hat, um, no reason to get discouraged.

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>You just got to keep battling. And I think it'll

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:51.119
<v Speaker 1>be all right. I guess. Is it kind of tough

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>for you kind of preparing this week not knowing like

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>real wide receivers are gonna be Nelson's gonna play or not.

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.119
<v Speaker 1>And also at running back if you're gonna have Ryan

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>or Darren. Yeah, I think some of those injuries and

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>some of those things, that's just kind of every week

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's different situations that arise and um, but

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, no coaches will get

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it ironed out. And I know we'll be putting really

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>good situations and um, no matter who's out there, we'll

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>be ready to go. You really don't worry about it

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>too much. What your son with Paul Turner. He's been

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 1>a scout team for most of the seasons and you

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>have the past for a while, right, Yeah, I mean

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>it's been a while. I mean other than routes on Aaron,

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>some different things. Um, but you go back to the spring,

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you go back to the fall. Obviously him and I

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>where we're on, you know, just the third team together

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>for a while there and got some really good opportunities there.

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So um, I think we'll tap back into that and

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll I think we'll have a good connection. You know,

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>how happened and you told him what you said, you

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>just told us. How did he react to me? Was

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>he upbeat? Was he down? Yeah? Nelson's a positive guy,

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's uh, like I said, he wants to

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>be great. Um. He gets frustrated, just like we all

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>do when mistakes happen. But um, again I tell him,

0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe in him, and I got a lot of

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>confidence in him. In him and he's the same way.

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, he knows he's gonna come in here, um

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and be the same guy. He's gonna put his best

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>foot forward every Day's gonna stay after and work his

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>tail off. Um. And that's something that I think we

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>all appreciate about him. When you look at filming yourself,

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>is there one thing that jumps out to you each

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>week that that you feel like you need to work

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>on the most? Um hard to say just one thing.

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>There's just you know, the things I was talking about earlier,

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>all the little things, um that's myself included. You know,

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>there's certain plays and certain things here and there, whether

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>it be protections, whether it be you know reads, whether

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>it be locking onto guys every now and then. Um,

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>there's just little things that I just got to keep

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>going and keep returning this offense you're going through, you know,

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>your rookie season. But when things come up on the outside,

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 1>like with Nelson, I mean, you know, does it is

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 1>it difficult to kind of handle that as you know,

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>as in a leadership position, will also being just the

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 1>first year guy kind of feeling your own way through. Yeah,

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest thing is for a lot of us,

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>we don't worry about it, you know. I think we

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>we just come to work, you know, and coaches again

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>are gonna put us in the right situation and the

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>best situations. Um. And we don't have time to really

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>worry about, you know, off the field things, different things,

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever may be, um, because we're just trying to get

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>better and trying to get ready for the next game.

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>So I know, for myself, you know, it's something I

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't think about. I don't worry about too much. Um.

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just trying to stay positive with everybody. Remember

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>there's not much character teams. Yeah, I think you know,

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it goes back to what I said earlier, just we

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>just got to keep we gotta get the little things right,

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, the details. Um. And we're so close. I

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>keep saying that, and I know it probably sounds like

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a broken record, but we we all know, we all

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>see it. We all we all put on the game tape. UM.

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 1>So I think for me, it's just executing, you know,

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>it's it's being smart with the football. UM. No one

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>when to take my chances as something, you know, I'm

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>continuing to trying to learn and trying to you know,

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>fight that walk that fine line every week. Um, no

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>one when to when to take chances, when to protect

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the ball, and um, I think it's just something that

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>we're all learning together. Um. But you know we're we're

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>right there. At the same time, do you guys talk about, Hey,

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're running out of time. We really got

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>to string some wins together if we want to get

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason or is it something you guys talk about.

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean we don't really press so to speak. I

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>mean we're all smart guys. You know, we realize what's

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 1>at stake. We realize when we're out in the season. Um,

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you know we got six games left and you know

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna put our best foot forward. But at the

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>same time, we don't change our preparation. We don't we

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>don't change how we approach things. Because one thing I

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>always say about this team is the efforts always there.

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, with the effort and practice, effort and games,

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>it's always there. Um. So we just got to just

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>be be sharp with with our details. Like I keep saying,

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>what's your personality? Which are are you trying to keep

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>everything the same kind of Um. You know, for me personally,

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I trying to be the same guy, and I try

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to be the same guy when things are good, things

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>are bad, everywhere in between, you know, even on game days.

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm gonna get excited when we score touchdowns

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and this and that, but at the same time, when

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>mistakes happen, when we're highs and lows, I'm I'm trying

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to be the same guy. You know. I think the guys, um,

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>they want to see that out of out of one

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.039
<v Speaker 1>of their leaders, out of this position, especially everyone's looking

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>at me in the huddle type of thing. So I mean,

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>we've got to stay consistent with who we are personality wise. UM.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And I think it carries over through practice, through meetings,

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>through through the game and UM, yeah, I think that's huge.

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>A better quarterback now, Carson than you were after the

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>first three games when you're riding an eye three you know.

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Uh and if if so, the stats don't suggest that,

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>what what are you looking at that that says that

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the answers guys, Um, I think you know, I think

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>just for me, the experience has been huge. You know,

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously it's every week, UM, there's something new that happens.

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a new situation, there's a new um.

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Just there's a new uh outside things that are happening.

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>You know. I think just every week is something new

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to learn. UM. Hard to say if I'm better or worse,

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>But I just know I'm learning a lot. You know,

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting valuable experience. UM, and I'm playing confident. You

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>know their mistakes are gonna happen. That's that's football. UM.

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>But you know I'm playing faster and faster every week.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm feeling good with with the playbook, feeling good

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>with um what I'm seeing from the other teams. So UM,

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just as a unit, I think we

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>all just gotta keep learning and keep elevating our game

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>every week. Talked about Is that something that kind of

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>put it to you? Do you always have that? How'd

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you get that? Yeah? I've really just always been like that.

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I think as as a quarterback, when guys are looking

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>at you, you got to always always be the same.

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, when things are good, bad and different, it

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. Um, guys want to see that consistent guy

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>in the huddle. What's Yeah, there's a couple you know

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>where you're late and you're trying to make a play,

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to do too much, and I think, um, those

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>are things that I gotta keep being smart with, you know,

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>especially knowing the personnel, you know, knowing that Seahawks secondary.

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>You know they they've closed pretty pretty good. Um. I

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>just gotta be smart, you know, I gotta keep learning

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that and um but you know, at the same time,

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm playing confident and uh, I think we'll be all right.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
