WEBVTT - Press Conference: Carson Wentz December 3

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Got you moving, maybe doing a little more improvisation that

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe we've seen in previous weeks. What was the question exactly,

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>with more play action and it allows you to maybe

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>move a little more and maybe do a little more improbably,

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just play action and kind of boots and

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>nakeds and stuff or something that we've always you know,

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>thought was kind of one of our bread and butters,

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>especially at first second down, and I'm getting the run

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>game going really opens up those things, and so it

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 1>gets me on the edge of a chance to make

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:34.639
<v Speaker 1>some plays, guys, a chance to make some plays down

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the field and underneath and everything. So yeah, I thought

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>we used that effectively tonight and said one of the

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>better games of the season, and it was good last

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>week against the Giants as well. Do you feel like

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>things are starting to come together for you guys? I do.

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I do. I think we're really kind of playing well together,

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>meshing together, kind of doing what we do best, you know,

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>running the ball, kind of relying on those big guys

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>upfront from play actions, nakeds, boots, trying to stay on

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the field on third downs. You know, got to clean

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>up some things in the red zone for sure. But

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>but things are. You know, we left some plays out there,

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 1>no doubt, but um, we're kind of starting to kind

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of mesh a little bit offensively, Like the chemistry is

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>getting a lot better with Golden tape getting a field

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 1>for him. Yeah, I mean every I mean every week,

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>every practice, Um, kind of every opportunity with Golden is

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>just an opportunity to just build that relationship, build that chemistry.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>And tonight you made some great plays, made some great

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 1>plays after the catch two, which is which is big,

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and it was good to can finally get him in

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the end zone too. Did the role you and visual

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>for him when when you got him and it kind

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>of took a little while to get there. Yeah, I

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>think you know, first and foremost, Um, Golden is a

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>great player. We feel we got a lot of guys

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>offensively that we can spread the ball around too. So

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>we never truly try and focus in on one guy,

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>just trying to go after you know what, maybe the

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>week link in their defense or just kind of how

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to let the play come to you. And tonight he

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.639
<v Speaker 1>was in the right spond and made some great plays

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and we'll keep building from there. For sure. This is

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>like the second week in a role you guys were balance,

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>like running the ball as well passing um, you know,

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>especially with Josh Adams, Like how important is that for

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you guys? You know as far as winning, Yeah, I

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>mean running the football, Um, it is really our bread

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and butter, you know. I think it gets those the

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>big boys up front going um, kind of gets the

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>defensive line kind of out of pass rush mode. I think.

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Uh so that's something that's big for us. And just

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>staying balanced and using that. I think it's really our

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>m O for sure. On the interception in the red zone, yeah,

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I just forced it. I forced it underneath coverage, kind

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>of kind of got there and just threw it behind

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>him and Nor made a great play And definitely one

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of kicking myself. Want to get back about being

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in a situation right now where you win and now

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you find more life with each win. Just what about

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>where you're already as a team having one and finding

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that new life again. Yeah, I mean it's big for us,

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>especially where we were now winning too straight and trying

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to kind of get some momentum going doing it against

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>an NFC used opponent is huge and now kind of

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>setting ourselves up to make a run. You know to

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>try and do something special here, and I think we're

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>we're again leaving some plays out there, but we're still fine.

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>We're finally starting to click a little bit um and

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>mesh together, and you know, we're extremely excited for next

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>week's opportunity. For sure, going in recent weeks. You have

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you didn't get sacked today? What's been the difference for

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line and how does that make you feel

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 1>when you know you're not gonna get touched the whole hell? Yeah, again,

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 1>hats off to the line. You know they played great

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 1>football game, both running the ball and protecting me and

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 1>keeping me up right. Um, you know, it's hard to

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>say exactly what the difference is, but again, I think

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>just as an offensive unit, Um, we're just finally starting

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>to kind of mesh it and play together. And again

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>we're leaving plays out there. Uh, you know there's plenty

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>that I'm kicking myself. I want back, but um, I

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>think the offensive line I was really just starting to

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>mesh him play well together. What is it like what

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>happened Darren Schools back? Just knowing the journey that he's

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>been through the last two years. Yeah, I mean having

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Darren back is awesome. You know, he's a little spark

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 1>for us offensively. I was extremely stoked to see him

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>again in the end zone. You know, it seems like

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it's been a while since he's been out there, been

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>a while since him and I got to play together. Um,

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>So having him back in the huttle, having him makes

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>him plays that he did. Uh, it definitely gives our

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>offense a little motivation, a little a little spark, and

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it was it was great to see that Zach Hurts

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the way he runs his ruts, the way he's seemingly

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>very predictable. He mena understands where to be and the

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of when to be there. How much easier doesn't

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>make your job? Yeah, I mean it makes my job

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>way easier, you know, having a guy like Zach Hurtz again.

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, it seems like we're talking about him all

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the time, but uh, he just completely understands the game

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>from almost a quarterback's view. It knows where he needs

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>to be, nose coverages, no, almost knows when I'm gonna

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>be hot and when to look early and all sorts

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of things. So I'm just having another guy with with

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>that kind of intelligence, next level intelligence. Um and then

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>also the way he just runs his routes and gets

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>open um. He does a great job. And then that's

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>why we keep finding him professional, ring him personally, professionally

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and personally. For him to break the Eagles all time

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>single season record for most catches, that's awesome. I didn't

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>really realize that. Um. At the end of the day,

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I know he's gonna say the same. He's just happy

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>we won. But that's that's good for him. And obviously

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you still got a handful of games. Like it seems

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>like you've talked about started fast for ten weeks. Now,

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 1>what was the benefit of that first drive? That was huge?

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, it almost kind of got the

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 1>monkey off your back a little bit, kind of um,

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, we've talked about it a bunch, so

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>we just haven't executed. And this week we did made

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>some plays on third down, we got in the end

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>zone there, you know, Golden made a great play getting

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>open on the scramble to finally, you know, seal the

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>drive off. So again, it kind of just felt like

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we got that monkey off our back and started the

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>way we wanted to start. Just been starting to mesh

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>how big would that be coming? Up against an improving

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Dallas cap with defense come next week. Yeah. I mean

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>we know Dallas is a great team. They're a great team,

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>great defense. Um, they make things tough for you. So again,

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>like you said, just the way, we're finally starting to

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.840
<v Speaker 1>mesh a little bit offensively. Um, it's gonna be big

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>for us going down there, and we got our work

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>cut out for us for sure Spert's success. There was

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>a report from ESPN yesterday that a team source said

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>that there'd been too many argts to him. Um, what

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>do you make of that? And do you feel as

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>there's any validity? I don't really, you know, think too

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>much into that, honestly. I mean, the guy makes plays,

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, he makes plays, he gets open. I think

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>our effectiveness rate when I when we do throw his

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>way is it's pretty successful. So I'm not If it wasn't, yeah,

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>it would be something we need to evaluate. But you know,

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>he gets open, plays great football, and he's having a

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>heck of a year. Carson, tonight, I think gives you

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>these second most three hunder yard games en franchise history.

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean to you? And are you a

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>bit surprised that you've been able to put up those

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of numbers this early in your career. Yeah, honestly,

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't really know much about the numbers.

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I know we left some yards out there. I know

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I missed a couple, Um, So I really don't don't

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>think too much about three hundred yard games or this

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>or that. Um, all I know is at the end

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>of the day, we got we got to win, and

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>we're finally getting some momentum going. Like the players wanted

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Sprawls to get in the end zone tonight. With that

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>something you had to discussed with him at all throughout

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the week or even today. There was nothing we really discussed. Um,

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know, we all knew finally getting him back

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>out there. Um what he kind of brings the offense,

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, just a little spark and uh he's

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of a quiet leader and everyone just respects how

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>he works. And uh man, it was just really good

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>to get him back out there and to get him

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>in the end zone. We were all pretty excited about that.

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Catches towards the end of the game. How how reliable

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>is he becomes the last couple of days. Yeah that

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>sounds great. You know another guy that it understands the offense,

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>understands defenses um and plays with you know, just a

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>sense of urgency and getting open and uh, just again

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>he understands the game and just having his big kind

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of physical abilities that he has a big target with

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>great hands. Uh, it's just a guy that went in doubt.

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can look his way too, and uh,

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, even when he's covered, he's not so uh

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, hats off to him. And again, we have

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys we can spread, spread the ball

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>out too, so I'm pretty fortunate. Thanks, Thanks guys,
