aaron rodgers says green bay can run the table. he thinks he will win the game. if the eagles don't win the game, it's saianara for the season. >> we don't want to talk about that yet. i talked to doug pederson about carson wentz and his play. >> defense is getting film on him. >> as a young player, we ask him to do a lot. being able to manage all of that. he's been in close games. we are headed in the right direction. everything carson's been doing and will continue to do for us. >> as a coaching staff, what more can you do? >> go back to the training camp roots and do the things that helped us win three games in the early part of the season. >> talk about coaching against a team that you have so much

history with. what is that like? >> i went to kansas city. it was a great time to reminisce in the stadium and eight years i spent there. now being a head coach, it means a lot. a lot of good memories in green bay, two superbowl appearances with that team. a lot of good vibes. >> you are you were reflecting your career and being head coach now. >> yeah, it's a whirlwind. a few years ago i was coaching high school football and then a quality control in gill dell faa then coordinator now head coach. it goes fast. you want to sit back and take it all in from time to time. >> >> he's learning as he goes. coach pederson has not said if aguilar will play in the game tomorrow night. his mind is not right right now.

he can't get out of his own head. if you are pederson, do you play aguilar? >> first of all, he flattered you by wearing a hat in that interview. who i play aguilar? yes, i would. they are not deep enough to make him enactive. i wouldn't start him. when i got him in, i would get him in a pattern where i know he will catch the ball, something that's easy to catch to give the kid confidence to have him for the rest of the game if you need him. i would not make him enactive. >> if at home the ball comes that way, what's going to happen? >> if they start him, you will hear the murmur. i want to keep him from that kind of thing. >> he did better on friday than last week. >> the best thing is to let the

opportunity he gave me do better. >> i'm not ruling him out. we are preparing five guys to go into the football game. we haven't made a decision yet. he's working hard, doing everything right this week. we'll see come game time. >> it's to help you grow. i'm appreciative of the situation. at the end of the day, i'm going to get better. >> it's not just nelson. eagles have seven touchdowns in ten games. gordie nelson has nine by himself. how much of the troubles do you put on the eagles receiver? >> 95% on the receiving. it's what the quarterback can do. unless you have a running game complete and they don't have that with ryan matthews being out, the receivers have not bailed out carson wentz, and he has not been able to make plays

through his receivers. >> jordan matthews tells me he knows he can do more. >> do you talk about doing more? >> you do that all the time, performing good or bad. we got to week five or six, and we went over the film. it was like seemed like we played really good one week and fall off the next week. i was like, we have to find a way to be more consistent. that's the biggest thing i want to talk to the group about. other than that, you want to do well. you have to have the mentality that you have to do better, we have to do more. we have much more on the eagles ahead. carson wentz start seems like a lifetime ago. see why ron is not worried about the rooky one bit. >> i'm worried. >> we'll talk to mike too. sixers go head to head with la brawlebron and the calves.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> we are back here on sports sunday. carson wentz and the eagles take on the packers tomorrow. not all of carson's troubles can be put on him because of the receivers. what do you make of him as an nfl quarterback? >> i think he regressed. i did research for the show. when he's under pressure, his completion rate is 39.5% the worst in the nfl. that means he's spooked in the pocket. his running gamers are not helping him out. he's not completing the third and long situations. >> wayne ge says he's onboard.

>> no, he's not regressing. i see a quarterback growing, blossoming every week. he's making mistakes and learning from the mistakes. he will miss a few guys, force a couple of throws. i would rather he make the mistakes now than down the road. you are se seeing a guy grow. >> jeff sca vors sk skversky ha. >> the defending champs missed 14 shots against the sixers in the lead for the first 39 minutes today. cleveland failed to make a shot. llelebron slammed it down. okafor looks strong in the

paint. sixers up as many as 14 in the second. lebron is sneaky. another double for king james. careless mistakes come back to haunt the sixers. robert covington, wide open. are you kidding me? fourth quarter, cleveland takes the first lead. sixers lose their third straight 112-108. the coach is proud of their efforts. >> they can go to another level and they did. we felt it and saw it. i feel like that's the lesson we have all learned since we have been together for three years. it's a long game for us. you have to learn to play 48 minutes. >> four hours later, flyers taking the ice against calgary, the new jersey born goalie in

net, 29 saves tonight. just two minutes later, gives up the goal, flyers down 1-0 on a salty sengd period, fliers on fire. flyers up 3-1. 24 seconds later, wayne simmons, leading 11, flyers four straight goals, win 5-3 and the ovation, anthony stars loves it in his debut. >> how did you feel at the ind of the game? >> it was great. it's a passionate city. being able to play a game in front of one of the loudest crowds in the league, for them to give me an ovation means a lot to me. >> losail on the way to drexel tonight, kirk lee, time high 21. drexel can't catch up.

penn state faces wisconsin in the championship game. if the nittany lions win that game should they get into the playoffs? >> miracle season from where they started to where they are now. if they win the championship game, they should be in. the committee is going to say they beat ohio state but killed by michigan. in the michigan game they were without several players to injury. the loss to pit doesn't look bad because pit beat clemson. they should be in the playoffs. i never would have figured it in a million years but they are partial, so who knows? the committee looked at penn state saying we didn't expect them to be there this late in the state so they have it in their mind they are not worthy

of it. >> penn state the 13th, washington 14th. >> temple is on to the athletic conference game against navy and annapolis. it was going sideways when they turned it around, owls 4-3. >> i don't think they get the crowds that indicate it. they are a solid program. he's a great coach. nobody seems to catch on in philadelphia about college football. we are occupied by pro we can't get the part of our brain to dedicate it to college football. >> there was a signed contract last year before the season. do you think teams come after him again? do you think notre dame will make the role? would they take a chance on up

and comer matt rule? the next conference is to get to a bigger conference. i think people will come running for him. >> he's done a good job with the owls. stick around, more sports sunday after this. >> stay tuned for more "action news" sports sunday. ♪ ♪ ♪ afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road.
