Carson Wentz and Alex Smith
The Colts had a rather disappointing season last time around. They started off poorly by losing three games on the trot. Although they were able to find some momentum after that but in crunch games, they failed to deliver and hence, couldn’t find a place in the playoffs.
As soon as the season ended, it was obvious that the Colts will make a few changes in personnel as they aren’t known for showing too much patience when it comes to backing their quarterbacks. As a result, the ax fell on Carson Wentz who started every game for them in the previous season.
“Stuff that goes on in the front office infiltrates the locker room”: Alex Smith advises Carson Wentz to stay away from the drama at Commanders
The Colts sent Wentz to the Washington Commanders and roped in Matt Ryan. For Wentz, this is a huge opportunity to prove himself. During the latest episode of the Rich Eisen Show, Rich asked Alex Smith to give some advice to Wentz ahead of the season after which Alex made some really interesting points.
He stated that Wentz would have to keep himself away from all the noise and distractions at the Commanders otherwise his game will get influenced negatively. “He would have to try to eliminate the noise there, there is a lot of noise in the entire organization and everything surrounding it. There is a lot of stuff going on there which makes it difficult to focus on football.”
“For Carson, this is a make or break. Commanders have been desperate to get a franchise QB, can he be that?” Rich then asked Alex if his form was affected by all the noise in the front office, to which he replied by saying, “how could it not? Historically there has been a lot of drama there. To say that stuff that goes on in the front office does not infiltrate the locker room is crazy,” he further claimed.
It will be interesting to see how Carson ends up performing for the Commanders.
