3 games? That does it. I N J U R Y P R O N EWentz also missed the final 3 games last season with a back injury.
probably important for him to try to avoid contact as much as possible going forward.
saw a classic example from Wilson today. Only hit he truly took today outside the pocket was after he swerved past Bradham for the first down and Jenkins then tackled him. Slid well before any defender could even think of tackling him. There was a pass action to Lynch in the 4th and Wilson ran up the middle but there were eagles right there so he slid right about a the LOS. Lived to play the next play and make up for the extra yard to two that he missed out on by giving himself up early.
the play today, he took a deep drop but nothing was open. He moved to his right and I believe he got outside the tackle box. Mcdougal had outside containment on him.
In the future the best option for Wentz should then be to move to the right and throw the ball out of bounds. Even without the Clowney hit, the contact from McDougal was enough to bring him down short of the LOS and thus resulted in a sack and negative play.
Wentz on the Clowney play was diving forward. That's giving yourself up, for he was informed of that weeks ago when his TD was taken away. It was a cheap late but, period.
Wentz has been clearly sliding more often this year
This narrative that people are going to be pushing is going to be sickening
