WEBVTT - Press Pass: Carson Wentz

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>A lot of your interceptions have been really you know,

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>plays down the field, way down the field that you're

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:15.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to hit something would have we learned from kind

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>of watching those tape and you know, just the decision

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>process of vacant most rowers. Yeah, you know, they're all

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of a different story. You know, sometimes their poor decisions,

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 1>sometimes that just missed the throw. Um. But I think

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the big thing is you just got people. Besides, you know,

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>small small misses in this league need to turnovers, and

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you know those things happen. The cleets that the guys

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.919
<v Speaker 1>are wearing today was that inspired by you? And uh?

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>Is it for a specific charity? Um? Actually, Chris Marrigoes

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>came up with the idea, you know, and then a

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>bunch of us kind of talked about, um, the best

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 1>way to kind of share that message, and UM came

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>up with the verse that we thought really illustrated the

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>gospel in a great way. UM, and then we're all

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna the plan is we haven't talked exactly about specifics

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>what talking them off and give them give them money

0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to charity afterwards, any specific one haven't thought that far.

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I know some of those guys probably have some already,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>But that's definitely the plan. I know, you want to

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>stay aggressive, heady, kind of bounce, you know, wanting to

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>get the ball down the field and not making those

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of mistakes. Yeah, you know, that's the nature of

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>this game, nature of this league. You know, there's gonna

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>be mistakes. Things are gonna happen. Sometimes it's you're forcing downfield.

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you gotta make those throws. Um. But but that's

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>part of our offense. You know. Our offense is to

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>take what they give you. There's there's time to take

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>those shots. And you know, I know those interceptions when

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>when those things happen, Um, they're not gonna scare me away,

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, so to speak. You know, those things happen.

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You just got to be precise with the football. What

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>it was like, you're ten or eleven yards behind the

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>line of scrimmage. Julius Peppers has a whole of your face. Mahad,

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>there's another guy around your w tell me work me

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>through all that. That was an amazing escape. Yeah, you know,

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's just kind of sometimes it costs me,

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, at times. But I just kind of have

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>this never say die attitude, and you know, I'm as

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>as a competitor. Um, I'm always fighting always, you know,

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>scrapping for whatever I can, and um, that's just kind

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of the way that that play unfolded. I still came

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>up short of the first down, but we got to

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>face man's call the other scramble. You actually juped out

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>to Demerius Randall. I hadn't seen you do that before. Yeah,

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 1>I kind of took me back to college a little bit.

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Been a while since I had a couple a couple

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>runs down the field. Finally got in the end zone

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>there on that one too, So UM, kind of felt good.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, you know, I'm still still

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>want to be a passer first in this league, especially,

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>but you know, um, it's always good to make plays

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and extend extend plays when when when it's there were

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>eleven games into the season. How do you feel physically? Mentioned,

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, physically and mentally, I feel great. You know,

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel I'm at a good spot and very thankful

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to be healthy, um for sure. Um, and then mentally,

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I just I feel feel confident with where I'm at,

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you know as a team. Um, obviously you know the

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>record and the performances individually, It's never perfect, um, but

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm getting better mentally, things are slowing down.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm playing a lot more confidently, so um. You know,

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>obviously as a record wise, you know, we'd like to

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>be better, but um, I feel like we're on the

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>right tracks. Just said in the locker room and he

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>thought that he played tight and the last game was

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>feeling some of the pressure and maybe some of the team.

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you need to get back to having fun playing

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>loose and stuff? Did you feel that at all? And

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>how do you get back to that set? You know,

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't personally feel that. You know, I'm always I

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 1>always treat every game like it's just a blessing and

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm out there having fun. You know, I'm kind of

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>a little kid when it comes to that. It's just

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>a game I've played since I was a kid. But

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>you could maybe make the argument that some guys maybe

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>we're playing tight. You know, I think every guy is

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>different in that regard. But I think the biggest thing

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>is just to keep emphasizing it. You know, have some fun,

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>don't don't. Don't thought the pressure and the expectations around

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you impact how you're approaching the game. You know, I

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>always just approach it with a happy attitude and you're

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>enjoying it. Like I said, we're grown men playing this

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>game that we played since of our kids. And how

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>cool is that we've got a lot of rookies on

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>offense especially really all we're running bad receivers. What's your

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>role kind of keeping back food together and making sure

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>that everybody kind of stays up track. Yeah, I think

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>we all have a role, all have a hand in it.

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>You know. Obviously when when things are going poorly whatever, Um,

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the huddle, all eyes are on me.

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we have some really good leaders, you

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>know from from Jason Kelsey, Brent sellick Um, Darren Spoils,

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Jason Peters. You know they've been around. You know they

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>get it. Um, they do a great job. And you know,

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I try and follow lead a little bit, try and

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>take the lead at times. And um, I think as

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a that's one thing we don't lack is leadership on

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the ball. I think you've made them

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 1>many other questions quarterback Obviously, do you ever feel at

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>times like you're really under a microshow? Do you ever

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>feel that, um you're talking on the field or off

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>the field. Off the field, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>mean you definitely feel that without a doubt. But at

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the same time, you don't let the circumstances. You don't

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>let those expectations and the so called pressure, you know,

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 1>for me anyway, I don't let it, you know, impact

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the way I approach the game and the fact that

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I just go out and enjoy it and you know,

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>some days they're gonna go well, some days aren't. But um,

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the nature of this game. Why do you find

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>your response like you can feel the micing the micros

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>show falling to feel a little bit. I mean, it

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>definitely happens. You know, we're always you know in this

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>in this business. You know, you're definitely in the spotlight

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and things happen. So UM, that's just the nature of

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>this business for sure. Where do you think you've taken

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the biggest strides this season? Carson? When you look at

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>your your game, UM, I think it's just a lot

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>of it's probably things you don't see, you know, just mentally, um,

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 1>grasping you know, the concepts and progressions and different things

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>like that. Protection wise, I feel very confident with Um,

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really just the mental side of things

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and just playing faster and faster each week. Cable is

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 1>very content. I guess, yeah, that's something you feel. Yeah,

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that comes with I think that comes, like

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, with just understanding that the mental side of things.

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, understanding, um, how how defensive defenses play you, um,

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>understanding where your guys are at as well. Some of

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>it happens naturally with just progressions and stuff, but a

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of it is, um, just playing more confident within

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the offense. I know you're right up the world. Jared.

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>We started playing, and yeah, I know he's playing. I

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know exactly how well he's done. I talked to

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>him a couple of weeks ago, um, the week he

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>was getting his first start, so I wished him, wished

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 1>him well, and um, again I haven't paid too much

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>attention for a second. Thank you. There's possibly where you

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>could play this year is then there's possibility of something

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>talking to maybe later in the year at this point

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you might have been playing at this point, Um, have

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you thought about the benefit? Oh you know it's not

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 1>playing person now pay for sure? You know, I know

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 1>for sure I wouldn't trade with what's happened for the world.

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm very excited, um that I got that

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>opportunity from from game one, and um, you know, I

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>always believe there's a there's there's a plan in place,

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and obviously before the season we wouldn't know when when

0:06:58.400 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>would be my time, but I knew it was just

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>a matter of time, and um, looking back, I'm really

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>excited and happy I got these opportunities and it's just

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna help me, um the rest of the season and

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>definitely in the long run. Most how players, there are

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>seasons ending in the round, this time in one double

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>way obviously because the playoffs. How do you manage to

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>find more of the season, how to set an advantage

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>right now? Yeah, I think, I mean hard to speak

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>for some of the other rookies, but I know what

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I've experienced for the last five years of college is

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>long seasons. You know, playing into January. I think that'll

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>benefit me here, um coming up. But you know, just

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>handling it, um, you kind of just get used to it,

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially when we were fortunate enough to play

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>in five championships. Um, it just kind of became the norm,

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. So, um, it's still football, you know,

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>you just go about it the same way, approach every

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>week the same and keep business business personal. Doug City

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>felt like the team is moving in the right direction

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 1>despite the recent struggles. Do you feel the same way

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and why? Um? Yeah, you know, I think one thing

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I can say about the guys in that locker room

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>is is we don't lose confidence. We don't lose energy

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>or effort. Mistakes happen, you know, physical mistakes happen. You know.

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes um, you get beat, you know, and those things happen,

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's unfortunate the way the way some of these

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>things have unfolded. But overall, you know, I can tell that,

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think we are heading in the right direction.

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>With the other night, there were so few possessions. But

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>could you guys looking back, have done anything to put

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>more points on the board against that defense without a doubt.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, obviously we could have been better. We could

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>have been sharper on third downs, could have Obviously the

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>turnover in the second half on the first drive didn't

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>help the cause. There's definitely things there that we could

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>have taken advantage of. But like I said after the game,

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it was just kind of an interesting game with the

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>flow of the game hard to getting a rhythm um

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>but with without a doubt, we we could have been better.

0:08:52.840 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Thanks everybody,
