Carson Wentz leads Eagles past Browns 29-10
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton said he has never coached so many young players.
“We’re headed over to Carson’s to watch the Bison”, Doug said while standing in the baggage claim area of the Philadelphia airport. “It’s going to be exciting to watch them grow”.
Larry Henry: Philadelphia Eagles 21 Cleveland Browns 13- DGB grabs his first regular season TD with the Birds and Wentz looks solid in the opener. He said he is much better prepared this time around. Reich said. “And then play-making really gets defined on third down and in the red zone: keeping drives alive and getting the ball in the end zone”. “It was exciting obviously to get that win finally and just sort of the excitement that the guys felt walking off of that field, because I remember, too, that team that year was decimated with injury and there were a lot of new faces in Cleveland”. They need to see me be very consistent week in and week out.
There are a lot of reasons the Browns lost.
But when the Eagles traded starting quarterback Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings over the Labor Day weekend, everything changed. Pederson chose to put Wentz ahead of Chase Daniel, who had two career starts in six combined seasons with the Saints and Chiefs.
The Carson Wentz era got off to a rousing start as the rookie quarterback led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 29-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.Wentz, the second overall pick in April’s National Football League draft, completed 22 of 37 passes for 278 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions – a passer rating of 100.9 – as he outplayed Browns QB Robert Griffin III.The Browns had that No. 2 overall selection before they traded it to the Eagles, as they apparently didn’t think Wentz was worth that high a pick.
Griffin III had a three-year stint with the Washington Redskins after going second overall in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Coincidentally, the man responsible for blocking McNabb’s first career start from coming in the team’s opening game is the same one who cleared Wentz as the starter for this weekend against the Browns – Pederson, the former quarterback and current Eagles coach. Their plan is to confuse him by disguising their intensions with pre-snap formations. I think from a leadership standpoint that will come as he develops and that’s not something you want to try to fabricate.
“We’ve been communicating and working together cohesively since the spring, so we expect to go out and there and play well, have success”, Kelce said. We have the most respect for that offensive group. He played great start to finish.
