But one thing that has him excited is the chemistry between him and rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. “We play Philly next Monday night”. Wentz threw for 278 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Like I said, the good, bad or indifferent, it doesn’t matter, you’ve just got to focus and take it day by day. “Eventually they will love me because we’re going to win”. “I’d rather rest on the mindset of going out here and playing as hard as you can”. “You don’t accidentally win in college”. We’ve got a new quarterback.

Matthews and Wentz made for a nice passing combination in the season opener.
It was the quarterback-starving Browns, who traded the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia so the Eagles could select him.
“For him, it’s just the confidence is knowing the plays”, Graham said of Wentz (278 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs in his National Football League debut on Sunday) on Wednesday’s 94WIP Morning Show. “But I felt like I had to get back out there. So I got to stick with my team but I am going to scout out what all the fuss is about”.
“I thought it was kind of amusing”, Wentz said following Thursday’s practice. “When you see the history that Carson’s had being on successful teams, it isn’t by accident”. “That’s just another play where he’s going through his reads and breaking down coverages”. They had the ball for the majority of the game only four times in 16 games. All week he said if they go zone, it’s coming to that backside dig. “He’s won a lot of games and he’s won championships”. He didn’t just manage the game but he dictated it. That mindset abled Wentz to look like a well-polished veteran at times during the game.
“It was just man coverage across the board”, Wentz said.
“They held Buffalo to 50 plays or so”, he said. They feel that the RGIII era is over before it actually even began.
“It’s good tape to watch for me, to be able to say, ‘I did well on this play”. “I don’t really get into TV”.
Tight end Gary Barnidge had blocked Jalen Mills on the play, and Barnidge said he pushed him out of bounds. Alcorn State, an FCS (I-AA) school like NDSU, was 30-11-1 with McNair. “It was the ‘Dirt Road Anthm” album.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin did not have an update on injured linebacker Ryan Shazier on Tuesday, but he did say several other players that missed a season-opening victory at Washington might be ready to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. He’s a humble guy from North Dakota and I’m a humble guy from Alabama. We have to do better to keep him clean so he doesn’t have to take unnecessary hits. If I can keep him in the building as long as I’m in the building, we’ll be okay. “You have to know who I am”, he told the 6-foot-5 quarterback from Bismarck, N.D. “But he’ll grow from it, learn from it, and we will, too”.
