Monday’s roundup: Rookie QB Wentz will start for Eagles

As for a flock of geese somewhere in New Jersey, it instantly proved to be a delightful idea. This decision comes shortly after the Eagles traded veteran quarterback Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings.

At the time of the trade, the Browns’ quarterback depth chart was bleak.

“With Carson and his mentality, I don’t want to harness that aggession”, Pederson said. “When I got the call, I was obviously very surprised, but instantly I was really excited”. And that’s what you want, you want guys to not do a lot of thinking on the football field, just go react and play.

He also needs to get familiar with the starting offense. Wentz has spent more time in the trainer’s room than the practice field since suffering two fractured ribs against Tampa Bay on August 8.

With a hairline fracture of the rib, Wentz might not run as much as he would normally, Nassib said. “But now, it’s down to business”.

Pederson told a bit of a different story, though, suggesting that the entire playbook will be open to Wentz because of his ability to absorb it so quickly. However, he wore one, too, in that Tampa Bay game.

While we’re not scolding anyone for being honest – the comments from Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta and Nassib are refreshing and honest evaluations, which we rarely see anymore – the pair had better hope they are right. He will get hurt if he doesn’t protect himself and play the game like Russell Wilson.

Conventional wisdom is that the Eagles will play it safe with Wentz.

Wentz became the starting quarterback of the Bison during his junior year at NDSU. Wednesday was the early-morning film study and game plan work. It’s something now that we’re prepared to do. Up until the Bradford trade, Eagles coach Doug Pederson had said that Daniel would be next in line if Bradford were to get injured. “There just may not be anybody in that year who’s good enough to be a top 20 quarterback in the National Football League”.

“That’s the way life is, that’s the way the game of football is”, he said. After the year Jordy Nelson had in 2014, I was thrilled to designate him as one of my keepers. That’s because now, their QB bench lacks depth with only Wentz and his backup Chase Daniel on the lineup.

“Chase has done everything I’ve asked him to do”. He’s been a great mentor to Carson.

“Any competitor would be a little disappointed”, Daniel said. “It’s about the team”. “He’s like for us possibly the fourth corner, the fifth corner right now going into the season”. We’ll have to see how it goes. My preparation is not going to change. “And just the way he handles things, the way he calls plays in the huddle, the way he can just spit out the verbiage and his athleticism, the way he can move and scramble and make some plays with his legs much like RGIII can do, it just felt so comfortable putting him in this spot”. By Monday, those reps had gained significance. Miller, who was intoxicated at the time, attacked the son and his 70-year-old father, who came to his son’s defense, police said. “But when you put all that together, we felt like that, in balancing today and the future, it was the right move for us”. He averaged 3.9 yards per completion with none longer than 19 yards in exhibition games.

“The whole time all along, I was just getting ready for whenever this time would come”, Wentz said. “He was very appreciative of everything”.
