UK_EaglesFan89 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Bulked-up Carson Wentz arrives for Philadelphia Eagles training camp Last summer, Carson Wentz slimmed down before training camp, hoping the lean muscle mass could translate into a quicker quarterback outside the pocket. After starting all 16 regular-season games and leading the Eagles to another division title, Wentz put in the work during a virtual offseason that was disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. Wentz arrived at training camp on Monday and the franchise quarterback looks to have bulked up, appearing strong and confident. The quarterback and other Eagles rookies have been back in town getting tested and acclimated for 2020 training camp, which will be much different than what teams are used to. https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2020/07/27/bulked-up-carson-wentz-arrives-for-philadelphia-eagles-training-camp/ I wonder why the team and Wentz may have decided to bulk him up again?

It's about self confidence. If he feels like he's made a positive change, he should play better than he otherwise might. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kz! Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 This kind of gave me flashbacks to the McNabb era when Spads would rave about how McNabb packed on another 10 to 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason, but was really just him getting fat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d prefer a thicker QB that can withstand the pounding he’ll inevitably take in the pocket than a leaner QB that is quicker out of it.

If he feels good in the changes that they've made then that's the most important thing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with that at all. I just find it a little odd that one off season he's focusing on mobility and slimming down, the next he's bulking up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I had the same thought. I think this was the season that McNabb tore his ACL just running. Probably because he had put on a ton of weight.
