Anytime the Eagles struggle or lose, the blame usually falls at the feet of quarterback Carson Wentz. For the franchise’s star signal caller, criticism comes with the big contract and Wentz has been getting a ton of it lately.
One former Eagles legend is placing the blame on head coach Doug Pederson, though.
During his morning radio show with co-host Marc Frazetta, Tra Thomas, one of the greatest left tackles in franchise history (behind Jason Peters), blamed Wentz’s struggles and regression on Pederson.
“When I watch him on tape, I see him only looking to one side of the field, it tells me he’s taught that way,” Thomas said on 97.5 The Fanatic.
Wentz has had a penchant for staring down targets since his days at North Dakota State, but from Thomas’ viewpoint, Pederson gets paid to correct bad habits.
This season, Wentz has completed 210 of 343 passes (61%) for 2,274 yards and 16 touchdowns with four interceptions. He’s struggled as of late, but he’s the least of the Eagles’ problems.
