If glass jaw wasn't ruled out for this hit he would have been for the next one
It's been said many times over the past 4 years and still holds true...Wentz needs to learn how to slide if he expects to play much longer.
I would be disappointed if I was his teammate watching him get injured on another running play, and I'd be pretty pissed if I was the one paying him 700K per game and he can't get that little tidbit to sink in. He's a good quarterback. He can be a threat throwing and running. However he's not a threat when he's sitting on the sideline or in the locker room. Every injury I've seen him get on the football field has been a result of a head first dive when he's trying to end the play or by him trying to extend the play by not going down. If he figured out the benefit of giving himself up by sliding, he'd have missed half the games or less that he has missed and his team would have undoubtedly won some of those games too that they didn't.
This was a dirty play in my opinion, but Carson opened up the opportunity. I'll give him credit for being a gamer, but he's getting killed and killing his team by NOT sliding.
Yup, for a supposedly smart kid, not sure why he hasnt figured that out yet. Also it comes down to coaching, let him sit on the bench for a few plays every time he doesnt slide into home...
Pretty sure wilson has never missed a start due to injury in his entire career.
Intention Helmet to helmet contact with running backs and receivers are both penaltiesThe argument can be made that he was outside of the pocket, making him eligible for a hit the same as a rb and I would agree with that. And shame on him for not sliding, dumb move. That being said, pretty sure Rogers was outside of the pocket when Barr tackled him and next thing you know, you can't put your overall weight on a QB anymore. Don't tell me they're not treated differently, hell how can they not be when you're investing that much money on them. But the fact that Wentz took that big of a hit is bad enough. If they don't change targeting on all players with the ball, regardless of the position, I'd be surprised.
