Eagles coach Doug Pederson called Carson Wentz’s preparation “Peyton Manningish” Monday, when Pederson met with reporters the day after his team’s 34-3 shellacking of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pederson, the rookie coach who is off to the best start in franchise history, did not dispel the notion that Wentz, the rookie quarterback who is off to the best start in franchise history, has a so-called “photographic memory,” something two of his questioners brought up.
“If it’s a bad play, he forgets it; if it’s a good play, he forgets it and he just kind of moves on, but at the same time he can recall things fast and quickly, things that we’re seeing even during the course of the game that we can tweak on the sideline,” Pederson said.
