WEBVTT - Press Pass: Carson Wentz

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>If you feel physically after Sunday. I resacked a bunch

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>of times, feel any different than any other Sunday. No,

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:21.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, I came out feeling pretty good. You know,

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>It's one of those things ever since college. I was

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>used to kind of getting hit almost more in college. So, um,

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>as the season progresses, you kind of get your body

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>starts to get used to getting hitting those sorts of things.

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>So feel feel pretty good. How much is Sam And

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>that was a short period of time, But did you

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and were able to learn from him? Yeah? You know,

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:40.599
<v Speaker 1>when I first got here, it was good to have

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Sam and Chase and obviously the coaches, which we've talked

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot about, um, but you know, I really talked

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>with Sam quite a bit and Chase and just really

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted to dive deeper in this offense. And Sam had

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>some good insight on on our offense and then also

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>just you know, he was in the number of systems

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>as well. So it was really good conversation, really built

0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a good relationship with him, and I'm looking forward to

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>play sense the trade. Yeah spoke, Yes, we haven't this week.

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>It's been a long week already, and I'm sure we'll

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk before the game, it'll be cool to go

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>out there and see them again. Or a question but

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>this one but al heird? Is it a face just

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a few short time after having traded seeing traded in

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>minnsoda number one, and be be trying to put the

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>two lucks into this because of them, sit'll get sum

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>up that old feod. This is a maybe a stand

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>versus of course the kind of thing or I guess

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>standswer the first part, you know, that's just the nature

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of this business. You know, that's the NFL. Things happened, guys,

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Guys get traded. That's kind of just how it works,

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>you know. And the next one on our schedule. So

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>we're excited to face them. You know, they're they're a

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>good defense, good team. Um, so it'll be a good

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.839
<v Speaker 1>matchup and we're glad we're getting them at home. Um.

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>The second part of that question, you know, I don't

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't get caught up in that. You know, I

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>don't get caught up in that at all. It's um,

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it's the Vikings versus the Eagles, you know. And

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>then they're coming in here and it'll be a good one.

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>But of course in the West, a couple of games,

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, the last possessions of the kind of you know,

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Harry little tough and uh, it's it tougher to make

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>decisions those spots. Um, you know, not really, you know,

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>that's just it comes down to just executing. And um,

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>those are a couple of things. The last two games

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>we just didn't We didn't execute at the end, you know.

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And to have chances to win latent games and to

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>come up short as an offense, you know, that's frustrating.

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I take it a lot of myself. Um,

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and those are things we go back and look at

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>it and where where could we have made better decisions

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. Um, But it's it's frustrating, but

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it, um clouds your judgment by any

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>means in those situations. Come back now for two games

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and hasn't been a real big part of the passing offense.

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>How much of that falls on you to kind of

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>get him involved earlier. Yeah, it's part of what's being called.

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>It's part of me finding him. It's kind of just,

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, the last couple of games, the flow of

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the game has been kind of weird, and I think

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>we only threw a twenty two times. Last game we

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>only had eleven completions. So um, really, nobody's getting real

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>involved in a game like that, so um, you know

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>it's something that we definitely noticed, but um, it's it's

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>part of just you know, how the plays are, how

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the plays are executed. Like an obvious type of question,

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>but like because of the trade, I mean, do you

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like you're much further ahead in your development than

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>if Salmon's still been here and starting every game and

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>everything that he's sitting and watching. I mean, yeah, without

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a doubt, out there getting the reps. You know, you're

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>out there playing games, You're getting that experience. That's it's invaluable.

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, those are huge, huge reps and huge opportunities

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to grow it from a young, young point on. And

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like definitely it has helped me for sure.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>If you think about the trade the development and already

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>think me, that's hard to say, that's the that's the

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>what if game, you know, And I'm very fortunate with

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>where I'm at right now, and you know, going forward

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to UM, it's been exciting first five games and we're

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to hopefully a successful season. At yourself Big Bank.

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>You first half, What do you say to him this

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>week and how do you talk to him about Yeah,

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, I talked to him before the game and

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>just said, hey, it's just football. You know, it's just foot.

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>You've been playing this since you're a kid. Same thing

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I kept telling myself, you know when my first start,

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know, we thought he settled in nicely.

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, the second half. I thought he went out

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and did some good things. Obviously the first half, you know,

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>he was just kind of getting some jitters out. He

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>would probably say the same thing, but I thought he

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>did some really good things in the second half, and um,

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, as an offense, as a team, we have

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of confidence in him going forward. Defensively, for

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings are already good board defensively when you see

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the stands out stuff. They're fast, you know, they fly around,

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>they play with a lot of confidence. You can tell

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 1>they're they're coached really well. You know, they have some

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>some really good schemes. They don't they don't don't do

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>a ton um. You know, they like to mix it

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>up on third downs, but um, you know, they just

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>do what they do and they do it well down

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>But those people, Yeah, I think there's a lot of

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>people back home, mostly Vikings fans, So I think there's

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that will be torn torn watching

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the game on Sunday back home. Defense is fast is

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>that as a quarterback you kind of have to slow

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>things down and not put down speed things up to

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>keep up with that. Not really, you know, you don't

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't stress about it by any man, but you

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>can just tell that they play fast, you know, and

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>that's something, Um, we got to just be sharpened, be

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 1>on point, I think from Sam as far as leadership

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>is concerned than the way it kind of ran, you know,

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>ran the hoddle and everything. Yeah, you know, we talked about,

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>um obviously a lot about the playbook and those sorts

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>of things, but um, you pick up on all sorts

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>of things. You know. Everyone kind of has their own identity,

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>has their own approach to to being a leader, to

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>being a quarterback. So, um, I definitely soaked up some

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>things from him as well. He said today that he

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to put too much pressure on you when

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you're coming off two losses and maybe facing maybe some

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest adversity you have faced in your young career,

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>how do you avoid personally putting not putting too much

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>pressure on yourself, you know, forcing a win or trying

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to force a plight to get it to get a

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>win and back of the car. Yeah, I mean, you don't.

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't get caught up in that, to be honest.

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's the vikings of the next next game

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>on the schedule, you know, and we're excited for it. Obviously,

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>we had two tough losses. We didn't execute the way

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the way we wanted to, and um, we don't put

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>pressure on ourselves, but at the same time, we play

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>with a sense of urgency that we gotta be better.

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, we gotta be more disciplined, and I think

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>we're setting records with penalties and stuff like that. That's

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 1>that's never good. You know, we gotta be more dish.

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>We got to execute better, um, and we know that

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and we will. We will be there team with Sam

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>on the other side, who obviously knows the offense and

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>can kind of give some tidbits to to his defense.

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Have you guys changed some verbiage or were cadence things

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>this week? Um a little bit? You know, obviously we've

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>even just when ever since I took over We've had

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>some different things in different intricacies with the offense. Um,

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>but at the end of the day, in the NFL,

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>there's there's no real secrets with offense. You know, it's

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>just about play calling, it's just about executing. So um,

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we'll we'll get too caught up in that.

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>What was maybe one or two of those things you

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>learned from Sam about you picked up from him about

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>leadership to you, H yeah, I don't know anything real specific,

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>but um, yeah, it's one of those things. Again. We

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>all have our own style, you know. I come in,

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I kind of have my own style how I was

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a leader in college and those sorts of things. So um, again,

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>we just all offend to have our own individual personality

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>there talking about what the team needs to do better,

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>what needs to be better. From the politicisisions. I just

0:06:58.240 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>got to make better decisions, you know. I got to

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>make better aions, Gotta be more accurate, Um, you know,

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 1>got to get the guys going a little bit better too,

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you know. Um, some of the discipline things, some of

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the penalties. You know, I gotta make sure everyone's focus,

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I gotta come in that huddle and make

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>sure everyone's locked in and um, those are things that

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>we're just we're always trying to get better at and

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm my biggest critic of myself, so um, you know,

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>we just got all play better, and it starts with me.

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>There's learning points, Carson, from when the pocket isn't as

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>as clean as you would like it to be, as

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>just the case on occasion against Washington. You know, any

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>any learn any learning points from that you take away

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>from Washington from when the pocket breaks down on it?

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Nothing really, you know, it's some of those things. It's

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>can you could you have gotten the ball off? Could

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you have stepped up? Um? But at the same time,

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those things it's just instinct, you know.

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>It's it's from repetition, it's from drill work. Um, so

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that those points in the game, you know, your instincts

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of just take over. But um, there's definitely some

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>things you can clean up with footwork and mechanics in

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, but a lot of those just come with time. Carson,

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Zimmer's kind of known for that level that again, look

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>on defense, what typic Culti says that posed Yeah, obviously,

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you know they're well known for their double a pressures

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and they like to do different things with it. UM.

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>That obviously poses problems for offenses, but you just got

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>to go in with a plan, you know. And I

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>think we're UM creating a really good plan and we'll

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>be ready for it. Thank you. H
