Obviously, he feels more comfortable now moving around as you guys saw in that (San Francisco) game.’’Īs Wentz gets further removed from the ankle injuries, the more he resembles the quarterback the Colts envisioned when they acquired him in the offseason trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was limited as far as movements and things like that.
“We were trying to get the ball out of Carson’s hands as quickly as possible.
I mean, they are going to have their wrinkles because it’s the second time we’re playing them, but it was different for us gameplay-wise. “Schematically I assume it’s probably going to be very similar. “It’s definitely different for us,’’ offensive coordinator Marcus Brady said. The offense finished with 268 yards and averaged 4.5 yards per snap, again, season lows. “A handful of times I was like, yeah, I’m stuck in mud out there,’’ Wentz said. More damning, when it came time to escape the pocket and perhaps move the chains with his feet, his feet wouldn’t allow it.
Unable to move around in the pocket and extend plays, he completed 51.3% of his passes and averaged 5.2 yards per attempt, both season lows. But he was more non-impactful participant than play producer. To his credit, Wentz was on the field for all 61 offensive snaps against Tennessee. Wentz suffered sprains to both ankles in the previous week’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams – Aaron Donald did much more damage to the right one – and didn’t practice until Friday of game week, then on a limited basis.
26 afternoon in Nashville was a three-hour study in how a mobile quarterback was robbed of anything resembling that mobility, and how it impacted his ability to play the position and contributed to the Indianapolis Colts’ 25-16 loss to the Titans.
