Carson Wentz's work on mechanics routine, not extreme, says Eagles QB coach

WHEN REPORTERS ask Carson Wentz about mechanics and the work he did this offseason to improve, Wentz rarely answers in detail. Good luck pinning down the Eagles' second-year quarterback on exactly what he thinks he needs to do to get better.

But quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo said Monday that Wentz isn't like that when addressing his shortcomings with coaches.

"Carson's very, very coachable . . . I never thought Carson had bad mechanics. There were certain things that we needed to just tighten up a little bit," DeFilippo said.

DeFilippo gave a more detailed outline of Wentz's work than Wentz, Eagles coach Doug Pederson, or offensive coordinator Frank Reich have done.
