Eagles trying to get Wentz to avoid unnecessary hits

Carson Wentz has created a frenzy in Philadelphia, but it will continue only if he can stay on the field. Wentz's throws and decisions won't prompt any squirming, but the same can't be said about the hits he has taken.

"I'm mad at myself," Wentz said. "I don't want to take those hits by any means. I'm still learning and I can tell myself over and over again, but it's one of those when you're in the heat of battle, I need to keep reprogramming myself."

Wentz, who is 2-0 in his first two starts with the Eagles, gives the franchise hope that it has finally found its long-term starting quarterback.
