WEBVTT - Press Pass: Carson Wentz

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>That means early in the first ten minutes, if there's

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>something too there's something happening, too fired up, too amped up,

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>anything like that, or do you kind of just kind

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of looking up. Yeah, not really, you know, they're all

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of situational. A couple of them have been third downs,

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 1>and um, yeah, I don't think it's anything in particular.

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>So to speaks, you've been off, you've had you've had

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>a good start and really really good start. You're winning awards,

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>three O start everything else. But do you think for

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 1>you to take your game to the next level, you're

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna need to win these close games, especially the league

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>hold doubt, you know. I mean we all around here,

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of sick to our stomach where we're at

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>right now with just all these close games. You know,

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>talked about it after the game with you guys, just Um,

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it's frustrating to not finish, you know, And we've had

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>chances and every one of these as an offense to

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>go down there and win the ball game or tie

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>it up or whatever the case may be. And um,

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>it's frustrating. So we all got to do do a

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>better job. And that starts with me in those key situations.

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, a couple of times, you know, it was

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it was tough. It was one of those things. But

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>you know we've moved on. You know, we we've talked

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>about it, We've um wrapped it. That's a play we've

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>wrapped a number of times. You know, it was just

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>we just didn't make the play. But you know we'll

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>make it next time. You feel like you're still playing

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the same level. September, I think as an offense, Um,

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I think we came out obviously, UM pretty hot. You know,

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I think we were doing some good things. But um,

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I think we were just we struggle with consistency. You know.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's something that we got to be better with.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>We gotta be better with our details. Um. So I

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>think just consistency and not shooting ourselves in the foot.

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think some of those whether it's interceptions,

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, fumbles, other turnovers, penalties. You know, I think

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>we've had a little bit of everything and some of

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>these losses that we just got to clean up. Your

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>chemistry exactly. Um this past unday versus earlier. Oh hard

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>to say. You know, I just think, you know, some

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>of the play calls, we're kind of more designed for

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>him this week, and again the week prior was just

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of what they were giving us, you know, and

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>so um last week he was one of the primaries

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>on some of those plays, and uh, you know, we

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 1>were hitting him the most prolific offense in the league

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>this week. Obviously you're playing the defense, but is it

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>in the back of your mind that they're going to

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>score some points and you guys have to be a

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>lot more productive. Well, we try to put too much

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>pressure on ourselves, you know. Honestly, we realized they're a

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>good offense, you know, but we think we have a

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty dang good defense, um um here, So we realized

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>we just got to do our jobs. You know. It's

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the same thing every week that we we kind of preached,

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>just go out and execute. And you know, as you've seen,

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>we've been in every one of these ball games. We

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>just got to learn how to how to finish, um

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and just keep executing. We'll talk about the importance of

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>situational football on this level in particular, and how that's

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of a learning process. You speak to that, what

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>do you what do you learning? What does what does

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>he mean by that? Um? Yeah, I mean you try

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and learn a little bit from everything every situation, good

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.679
<v Speaker 1>or bad. Um, all these games. The biggest thing I

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>think we all just take away is just lating games.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I keep saying that I sound like a

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.399
<v Speaker 1>broken record, But it's just executing and finished finishing down

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the wire. You know. It's some third down moments, you know,

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.399
<v Speaker 1>no when to take sacks at times, No, no, when

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the plays not there. You know, there's just things to learn,

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>um all the time. And you know, I think as

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.399
<v Speaker 1>a good, good team, we all got to learn from those.

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, if we're not learning, you know, we're just

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep repeating those mistakes. Um. So, so yeah, without

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>a doubt, those are all learning experiences. Obviously, late you

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>guys don't have a lot of time. Where do you

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>feel like you are with your chemistry with him? At disappointment?

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel good, you know, I feel very confident. Obviously

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>we missed a couple in the game, and um, the

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>corner made some good plays and I made some poor

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>scrows you know, more than anything, and didn't give him

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>really a shot. So I feel more uncomfortable with him

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and where we're at coming out to start a game,

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.839
<v Speaker 1>do you have to try to work hard and try

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>to keep your journaling and shack and cold. That could

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>be contributing to make some high throws. I don't think so. No.

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm pretty calm demeanor guy. You know, I'm

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>very confident out there. You know, I I'm very excited

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and I love the game. I'm passionate about it. But

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, UM, I'm calm when I need

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to be. And I don't think that's that's any the

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>reason those interceptions have happened early. And you mentioned like

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the learning experiences that you're getting from all these you know,

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>late game situations and everything. How much better is it

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.359
<v Speaker 1>for you to be experiencing that like on the field

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to kind of like watching from the sidelines

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>that put it in the plan originally. Well, obviously, anytime

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 1>you're getting the reps, you're getting out those opportunities. You

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>know you're gonna learn more, you know you're you're actually

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>out there in those situations. So um, but but at

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>this point, you know, we've we've learned a lot, and

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it's it's kind of one of those things we're tired

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 1>of learning some of these things. We gotta we just

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>gotta go out and execute. You know, we gotta go

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 1>do the job and actually show that we have learned

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>from them. You get a successful I think it's kind

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>of just what the defense gives us kind of the

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>situations of the game. Um, you know, it's hard to

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>say exactly why. I know we want to be a

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>very balanced team, and um, the flow of the game

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>always just kind of changes. You know. I think a

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago I through against Minnesota twenty or something,

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of just a flow of the game

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 1>type of thing. Dozen throws on Sunday and on the field,

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>which was clearly more than you've had all season. Um

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>was that? I mean, going in, did you think that

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>was the opportunity was going to be There was a

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>something that kind of developed as a game went along. Yeah,

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought we definitely thought the opportunity would be there,

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>mainly because of what New York did on defense. You know,

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>we thought, um, there are some things that we could

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of down the field with them. Um. Obviously

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>getting Bryce out there, getting it's a speed threat like

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>that was huge for us. UM. But yeah, we definitely thought,

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>just mainly what New York did on defense that we

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>could take advantage of some things perfect. But I mean,

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>without a doubt, you know, we love playing here. We

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>love being at home. Um, you know, obviously the goal

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>is to win every game at home. You know, I

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 1>think that's it's huge for for our confidence, for the city,

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>for for the fans and everything. But um, you know,

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>we love playing at home and you know we're gonna

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>go get it done. When you look at some of

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the tapers, there are things you see mechanically that you

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>need to correct them on some person Um hard to say.

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think there's there's some sometimes that it's

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>just mainly with the footwork and just the pocket around

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 1>me that that I could be cleaner. But um, I

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think any one glaring thing. Um, so to speak,

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>what comes first? You know, you talked about this before

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the Thicker of the egg, that you know, being comfortable

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>with the offense and knowing everything and your mechanics kind

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>of falling from that or getting a mechanics straight and

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>then what has to go first? But they probably kind

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>of coincide. You know. I think obviously you have you

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>have your mechanics, you're very sound with them, but um,

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>your mechanics within the offense can change without a doubt.

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 1>So I think if they kind of coincide as you

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>learn and grow within an offense, how do you do

0:06:55.520 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 1>how do you do the same way? You know you

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>don't you don't get too high or low. You know,

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the people in this building, you know, we're the same guys.

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're the same guys. Win or lose. Um,

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>we're ticked off when we lose ball games. You know,

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>no one likes to lose and um, But but we

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>don't let it affect how we prepare. We don't let

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it affect how we approach every day. You know, we're

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna approach every day with the championship mindset um and

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>attack it and learn from the mistakes, see where we

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>can be better, and just keep getting better. Oh um,

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I see. You know they don't do a whole lot.

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're they're very kind of basic, but but

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>they do it well. You know, they um kind of

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>like to keep everything in front of you. They have

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>a good secondary um. So so there's some things we

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>can take advantage of. You know, without a doubt, they

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>got a number of young guys back there. But those

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>young guys are playing good football. So um, it's one

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>of those weeks. We just kind of got to take

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>what they give us and be smart when we take

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>our shots. Carson, you mentioned Bryce him getting on the field.

0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I think he was only out there for fifteen plays.

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>You it is that opening up things underneath a little

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>bit of stretch, maybe a little bit um. I mean

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>obviously just recalled the big play we had with him

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and um, knowing if they were going to show us

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>that that look that we could take that shot. UM.

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I think going forward more than anything, I think we've

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>shown now that that he can stretch the field, that

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>he has that capability, UM, And I think that will

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>help us to open up some things underneath the Carson,

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the dipping offensive efficiency, I think if you look at

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>it kind of coincides with the loss of lane. What

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>has the adjustment been like? I mean, do you feel

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 1>like that's it's fair to you know, to point that out,

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and what has the adjustment been like? Um, you know,

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>we felt really confident obviously the Washington week. There are

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.839
<v Speaker 1>some things we had to kind of iron out. But

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, Big V has done a great job.

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's he's come in and UM, he's gotten

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>better every week, really every snap, he's out there. Um,

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot of confidence in him where he's at,

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.079
<v Speaker 1>so we don't think that really has any bearing on

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the losses grow naow
