Can we say they are one of the top five best teams in the nfl. Well, im not quite ready to anoint them as a top five team yet but i believe theyre a playoff team and thats where it starts. A lot of it starts with carson wentz. What did you see from the quarterback. Tremendous day for carson wentz. He steadily gets better week in and week out and the Coaching Staff doing a great job of setting him up for success. A simple read another first touchdown pass to tray burton. Once the safety is center field heres the leverage trey burton on that seam route and this is a great job by carson wentz because he identifies one, two, three Wide Receivers to his left and he likes this matchup right there, buchanan a linebacker safety kind of player miss matched for trey burton quick prelease off the line and carson lays it beautifully his arm, easy touchdown pass for carson wentz. Burton is happy about this one. Red zone ducis you got to score touchdowns not kick field goals. Eagles on third and six come out with three tight ends, one, two, three tightened to the right of carson wentz. Quick play action, going to get ertz behind the coverage, i love the simple design of this play, its identified quickly as we roll the tape right here, youll see carson wentz with quick pressure in his face look down the gun barrel and deliver the strike. Well designed, beautifully executed and i love the fact that carson wentz never flinched with a body right in his face. Thats quarterbacking in the National Football league. Wentz was very accurate 21 for 30 over 300 yards career high four touchdowns. What did you see on this play to torrey smith. Seems like every week now ducis were talking about explosive plays and really this is a big explosive play to torrey smith. Hes going to run a simple kind of deep post route and ill tell you the guys up front do a great job. This is not a complicated route but its a read that the quarterback has to make. The minute you see the middle of the field open you got to hang in pocket. He can hang in this pocket. Look at this wall thats around him. He can step up deliver the football.
