As great as Wentz has been this year, I think we need to add a back or two that can catch the ball out of the backfield. The reason Wentz is only at 60% is that he doesn’t have those easy check down and screen options that some of the other QBs have. Sproles was supposed to be that guy. I’m hoping that Clement can do a bit more down the stretch.
The NFL is all about mismatches and Wentz has the smarts to know where to go with the ball. Think of the pass to Barner down the sideline vs the Cowboys. We need more of that. I have no doubt that our front office has studied the way the Patriots do things and are trying to follow that formula:
Bringing in Long and Blount from the Pats to help teach the “do your job” mentality.
New game plan every week.
Focus on situational football (3rd down and red zone)
Pederson and Wentz meeting every Thursday night.
Drafting Pumphrey to fill the slot RB mismatch role.
I’m sure there’s more
