what about ron jaworsky? how impressive was carson wentz he forced an expert to eat his words. >> i was in favor of starting chase daniels, and that is a testament to the coaching staff. ron jaworsky said it was the rookie head coach that should be credited with the quarterback. >> they look organized. there were very few mental mistakes and few stupid plays. you didn't see 10 men on the field or 12 men on the field, you saw a well organized football team. >> jaws put out impressive stats, 130 passes on first downs high praise from a former caller in his shoes. >> he did phenomenal, one of the most impressive starts i have ever seen by a rookie quarterback in his first game. >> donovan mcnabb's first start completed eight passes and 46.3, peyton manning threw 37 times but three of those were picked off. that puts jaws on the wentz wagon for another week. >> at home against the steelers that will be the test. >>> we are joining forces with phl 17 to bring you the monday night game against the bears and that ga

>> ron jaworsky a happy guy, having a pivotal role bringing the draft back to where it started. back then it was a simple affair but not now. it's a multiday televised fan-fest with millions watching and here the focus will be on the art museum and the rocky steps. the next generation of nfl players will walk those steps. >> the 200,000 fans will come and spend money, the economic value more than two times that of an army navy weekend and the projected budget for the extravaganza is $25 million, will taxpayers money or city services be involved. >> i'm sure there will be but we don't know at this point. >> but city officials promise that the city will take in more relate the taxes than it spends. >> absolutely, i don't have the exact penny to the moment number but yes. >> it's papal visit cost the city millions in unexpected expenses and the vow is now it won't happen. >> no taxpayer dollars. we went into this know that. no hangover in this one. >> the nfl will be here in april showcasing the city and fans should have a blast and taxpayers will get a good investment. at the art

ron jaworsky says this is the just the beginning of something special. >> he can be tremendous and i think he is obviously been tremendous through his first three games, but it's difficult in the nfl to maintain the high level of play that carson wentz is now playing with. there will be bumps in the road and humiliating and embarrassing performances along the way, but certainly what we see through three games leads me to believe he will have a terrific career in the national football league. >> wentz is not the only rookie in town expected to make headlines this year, lets not foreget about ben simmons, the first overall pick of the sixers, a whenner whether he plays monopoly basketball or scrabble. simmons is at point guard, shooting guard and all over the place at training camp at practice at stockton university in new jersey. here is what brown wants his rookie to focus on. >> he is playing for the first time against men. >> and i think where he can control his own destiny the soonest and easiest is by locking on to defense. he is physically gifted. 6'10", 245 pounds with a bounce

espn analyst ron jaworsky is the first admit he far surpassed his expectations. >> no player in the history of the nfl has started as fast as carson wentz has started. it's very uncommon for a quarterback in his first three games in his rookie season to play the way carson wentz is playing, everybody knows the numbers now and everybody knows the record is undefeated it's the way he has done t he is rock solid in the pocket, showing his mobility and leadership and ability to be humble nothing but good things ahead for carson wentz. it comes down to the man in charge and that is doug peterson. he has done a tremendous job through the first three regular ar season games and i expect it to continue and what we haven't seen is dumb, stupid penalties and delay of game penalties and wrong person on the field. doug peterson has managed this team very well. i expected to see big boy football when he came in and we are seeing big boy football. it's philadelphia -- it's never too early, we have never won a super bowl. philadelphia is the most passionate football town in america these fans want to see

. >> time to check in as we do with espn nfl analyst ron jaworski.has a special guest. >> here with my buddy, meryl hodge. we know he's a former pittsburgh steeler. he's going to root for the steelers. to no, you're biased. you're biased, i'm biased. give me your unbiased opinion of what this steeler team is going to bring to philadelphia? >> the eagle defense hasn't seen an offense they're going to see on sunday. the bears don't have it, cleveland doesn't have it. do i carson wentz? i do. he's unique. find out where he is as far as a pro goes. this is a different defense he's going to face on sunday. >> yeah, this is almost scary. because i do agree with meryl. this is kind of the litmus test game. steelers are a veteran team, a veteran coaching staff. know how to win on the road. this is the kind of game where the eagles find out where they are. >> i was down in pittsburgh and talked to the defensive coordinator. here's what he's going to do to carson wentz. >> yeah. what a troublemaker. >> got me there. all right. still ahead, hear how penn state

the ron jaworski told me earlier carson wentz will get embarrassed at some point all rookie quarterbackso. but, he didn't look anything like a rookie today. the coach didn't exactly, either. rookie coach threw 37 times, 22 were caught. the only numbers that matter 29-ten the numbers on the scoreboard. here's what the coach said to the kid before the game. >> i was a little jittery going out there but i wanted him to relax and just take a look around and just see this. it is a great feeling. >> you know, lot on his plate today and feels good to get the win. >> it has been since he first got here, the poise, you you kn, understanding of how to play the game and having fun. that is what has been so fun for me. >> i don't get nervous. all i do is, kind of calm my nerves and go out and have have fun. it is a game. i try to enjoy it. i have fun. turnout was good. >> we will have much more on the first big win and carson's bay buy on "action news" sports sunday with mike missanelli and ducis rodgers brakes it down at 11:35 after "action news". part of the fun was watching writ will develop betw

espn's ron jaworski has more. >> here's how we handle the blitz. 11 of 12. 91 percent complete againsthe blitz. and he was only sacked one time. seven spurs downs against the blitz. he ham the blitz very well. terrific on first down passing. terrific against the blitz at good start. >> follow the "action news" sports team on twitter as you follow the eagles. ducis jamie and myself will provide insight to the game you won't fine anywhere else. >>> sam bradford starting for the eagles seems like ancient history traded just days before week one bradford finally made his debut last night and had near identical numbers as wentz in his opener. just like wentz bradford looks impressive in his debut last night against green bay. bradford threw for 286 yards, two touchdowns and 22 completions. bradford won his first start and listen to what the former eagles quarterback says about playing for minnesota fans in their new stadium. >> it was awesome. i mean, that's one of the best atmospheres i've probably ever played in. you know, it's fun when you get to play in atmospheres like that. it's not a

and i'm sure the coaches are in the film room breaking down the performance of carson wentz and ron jaworskyhe expected him to come out after having six cups of coffee but a kid that stayed calm throughout the whole game. >> when you should get excited about carson wentz. a sensational performance the first start in his rookie season and the guy that only played one preseason game. how can you not project this as being a positive. i know it's game one and he has a long way to go and a development process, but when you look at the building block and the foundation of a team it's the quarterback, have you to feel good about the long-term direction of the philadelphia eagles. >> got to look that. the birds and bears, monday night football, we are teaming up with phl 17,% the count town to kickoff special. and all eyes are on happy valley this weekend as temple attempts to upset penn state for the send straight year. and this one is on the road and a different team. the owls are getting ready with pumped up noise, going to a place they never won. this was a huge game right? >> no, not real yes,
