Zach Ertz says Carson Wentz is expanding further, hoping the drama is in the past – ProFootballTalk

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was the subject of an unflattering article in January, based on quotes from anonymous teammates and other team members who described him as selfish, lacking in humility and not as responsible. that he should be.

Wentz disputed some of the things in this article, but said that he had realized that he had shortcomings and that he could become a better teammate. Wentz seems to have taken steps to do this this season.

Jeff McLane from Philadelphia Inquirer Wentz's profile before the start of the regular season and Wentz said he was "a little more relaxed" than last season and was spending more time with his teammates than in the past. Defender Brandon Graham said the article could have been "a good thing" because it made Wentz more introspective and tighter. Zach Ertz had a similar point of view when discussing changes in the quarter.

"There was a lot of drama last year, on the field, off the field," said Ertz. "So we try to get ahead and focus on the quality of teammates. I feel like this article, whether it's true or not, Carson looked internally and did not erase it. He thought and tried to see that even though I'm not perfect, how can I be better? And I think he's a little more extroverted and made an effort, for example, to take us all to dinner. It has been extended this year and I hope that all this drama will be in the past. "

Wentz got his new contract during the off-season and worked to repair areas where he may have failed in the past, allowing him to stay healthy all season, which is the only big question which remains to be answered this year.
