Wentz's style of play is suited perfectly for the style of defense Gannon wants the Eagles to play. If they can't take advantage, they deserve to lose Sunday.
This has been true ever since, with the Indianapolis Colts and now the Washington Commanders.
The aggressive approach made perfect sense: Cousins is smart and an accurate passer, but his arm is closer to a slingshot than it is a rifle, and he doesn’t want to keep the ball in his hands any longer than he has to. So come after him in waves, force him either to get rid of the ball quickly or take a sack, and you’ll create some opportunities for turnovers.
The Eagles sacked Cousins twice; Fletcher Cox and Josh Sweat got him. It would be a disappointment if they didn’t double that number against Wentz. They should be there, too, because throughout his career, Wentz has had little trouble creating them without any help. This is a quarterback who led the NFL in interceptions in 2020 and in fumbles in 2016, who fumbled a remarkable 26 times over the 2019 and 2020 seasons. The very qualities that allow him to thrive — his physical traits and his belief that he can always make the biggest of plays — are also those that often ruin him.
