Chase Daniel Is Trying To Turn Carson Wentz Into Drew Brees
ESPN’s Tim McManus with another good read, this time about how Chase Daniel is taking lessons he learned from Drew Brees during his time in New Orleans and imparting them to Carson Wentz:
“We’re always staying one day ahead of the team. [Thursday], we put base behind us and we started on third down. [Friday], we put third down behind us and we get started on red zone. We’re always staying one step ahead and we’re always going back and checking, ‘OK, here’s the base plan.’ We have this schedule where it just fits. It works well for the mental reps and the mental side of things and so far Carson likes it, he enjoys it.”
“There’s a difference in preparing at the college level and preparing at the NFL level. I think you have to take it up a notch. Carson was already a film nerd, he was already diving into the film, you’re just sort of taking it up a notch and you sort of have it structured in a way where you know exactly what you’re doing at 6 a.m. on a Thursday, you know exactly what you’re doing at 6 p.m. on a Thursday.”
You know exactly what you’re doing at 6 a.m. on a Thursday. Jeez. I can’t even tell you most days at 12 p.m. what I’m going to have for lunch an hour later.
