look for little things throughout the game that project well down the road in the future. and number one jumps out to me is the quarterback. carson wentz. doing things now in his second year that really proved to me that he could have played well down the road in big games and hopefully playoff games and maybe the super bowl we would like to say. let's show his touchdown pass to zach ertz who had 10 catches for 103 yards. real simple play. receiver run a stop route back go out on the flat but carson will identify, there's carson right there, identify man to man coverage. he's got a safety on zach ertz. and as you roll this ducis, he read the coverage beautifully. he knew he had single coverage. a little stick, a little nod and a little go for a touchdown. what i love about quarterbacks, eye manipulation. watch the eyes of carson wentz. he looks to his left to keep the safety out of the lane,

delivers the ball on time, the safety could not get there. eye manipulation, vision. a lot of things we don't always talk about in young quarterbacks developing. carson wentz is developing in a very rapid rate. >> another error free game for carson wentz. let's talk about the defense, absolutely dominating yesterday against chicago. >> first downs for the first half for chicago bears. that is total dominance ducis and you know who is playing at a very high level. we've seen it all season long fletcher cox not only defending the run he's penetrating getting sacks. here he's just going to blow it up. he's going to come right up the field make a play. you want to put pressure like we and talked about last week ducis, young quarterback, get after him, fletcher cox. look around the whole defensive line you have a lot of dancing going on. everybody's happy in philadelphia. then you look at trick plays. the bears are trying everything. vinnie curry he's got that one all figured out. quarterback tries to block, that's not going to work but when you look at this defense they're playing as a unit. 11 guys playing as a single

enemy dominant defense right now for the birds. >> the chicago bears ended up with just 6 yards rushing. >> oh. >> 120 yards total as a team. looking ahead to seattle is that a team that worries you at all. >> of course. you got to travel across the country. two games coming up now seattle and l.a. i'm looking forward to those two. >> next half hour we'll talk more about the eagles and we'll hear from lebron james who is in town to take on the sixers. lebron is going to tell us who one of his favorite nfl players are. >> i wonder who that is. >> i'll give you a hint. he's on the eagles and you like him. >> thank you ducis. the philadelphia eagles continue the victory celebration in point breeze today. matt collins and caleb sturgis led a pep rally at em stanton elementary. the players talked to them about eating healthy and exercise. they presented the school with
