Eagles head coach Doug Pederson looking to get QB Carson Wentz outside of the pocket more

The Philadelphia Eagles (3-5-1) are looking to find a rhythm on offense and with Carson Wentz doing his best work outside of the pocket, Doug Pederson is looking to increase what works best.

During his Wednesday morning zoom meeting, Pederson confirmed that he’d prefer to get Wentz outside the pocket more.

“I think I can do more. I can dial up more of those. We did a couple in the game the other day and they worked, they were successful. To answer your question, short answer, is yeah, I think I can dial some more up and get him out because he is dynamic out there.”

Wentz for his part agreed fully with Pederson’s assessment and echoed his coach’s sentiments on having more of a presence outside the hash.

Wentz confirmed that the coaches do a good job of getting him outside the pocket with their gameplan and the Eagles quarterback told the media that he “loves” playing outside the pocket.

Look for Pederson to implement a more uptempo gameplan for an Eagles offense looking for quicker ways to score.
