Carson Wentz has been such an immediate hit that he has drawn some comparisons to Seattle star Russell Wilson.The next task for the Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback will be leading his team past Wilsons squad.Wentz and Wilson square off against each other for the initial time on Sunday when the Eagles (5-4) visit the Seahawks (6-2-1) at CenturyLink Stadium (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS).There were some observers who wondered whether Wentz would need to be brought along slowly after being the No. 2 overall pick out of North Dakota State. Instead, he has exploded on the scene, similar to the way Wilson did in 2012 after being a third-round draft choice.And Seattles Pete Carroll, who is looking for his 100th win as an NFL head coach, is among the people who see the similarities.He shows you the same kind of capabilities, Carroll said of Wentz. Hes got the same kind of awareness and leadership and it looks like the mentality that theres no question that he can play and play now and be effective.Im sure theyre thinking theyre going to go for their division, theyre going to try to win the thing with that young guy quarterback because they can believe in him. You can see all the reasons why. Hes very similar.Wentz has passed for 2,121 yards and nine touchdowns against five interceptions. He has completed 65 percent of his passes while displaying poise beyond his years.Wilson showed that same type of top-level maturity in his first season when he passed for 3,118 yards and 26 touchdowns while being intercepted 10 times. He is now an established star and is impressed with what he has seen of Wentz.Ive watched Carson a few times this season, Wilson said. Hes playing great football. Hes a great player. Hes a great quarterback. And hes going to be a great quarterback for a long time.He can move out of the pocket and make plays. He can make all the throws. Youre going to have a good one there (in Philadelphia) for a lot of years to come.Wilson is having another fine season despite some early-season ailments that hindered his play. He has passed for 2,442 yards and 10 touchdowns against just two interceptions.Wentz said he has followed Wilsons career and is impressed with his accomplishments that include leading Seattle to two Super Bowl appearances.A lot of respect for him, the way he came into the league right away and took it by storm as a later pick. It was impressive, Wentz said. So I have a lot of respect for him and look forward to going up against him.What might not be as fun for Wentz is the environment inside Seattles stadium.The Eagles are just 1-4 on the road as they prepare to play at one of the most raucous sites in the NFL.I think the biggest thing is you need to communicate a lot. You need to over-communicate, Wentz said. You need to work on hand signals both with the O-linemen and the receivers. Youve got to work through a lot of those things.Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is mighty familiar with the environment and the passion of Seattle fans.Pederson grew up in Ferndale, located about 100 miles north of Seattle, and used to regularly attend Seahawks games at The Kingdome.I grew up a Seahawks fan and the Kingdome and all of that, Pederson said. I remember on Sunday mornings driving down with my mom and dad and going to Seahawks games and watching Jim Zorn and Steve Largent and Kenny Easley and those guys. It was always a great memory for me as a kid.Pederson could use another big memory in terms of an upset with the Eagles residing in last place in the NFC East despite being above .500.Philadelphia is also catching Seattle after the Seahawks posted an impressive 31-24 road victory over the New England Patriots last Sunday.Wilson passed for 348 yards and three touchdowns and the Seattle defense saved the game with a late goal-line stand.An underlying factor in the victory was the emergence of rookie running back C.J. Prosise, who had 153 total yards (66 rushing, 87 receiving). His play was so solid that the Seahawks released leading rusher Christine Michael (469 yards) earlier this week with injured Thomas Rawls (fibula) about to return.Meanwhile, the Eagles hope to have top receiver Jordan Matthews (48 receptions, 580 yards). He is dealing with back spasms and is questionable.Philadelphias defense is receiving strong play from its front four with defensive end Brandon Graham leading the way with five sacks.Cliff Avril has a team-best 9.0 sacks for a Seattle defense that is tied for second in the NFL with 29. Cheap Custom Rays Jersey . With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. Rays Jerseys China . The return match will take place next Wednesday. Udinese leads Fiorentina 2-1 in the other semifinal. Napoli staged a second-half comeback from two goals down after Gervinhos opener and a stunning strike from Kevin Strootman. http://www.customraysjersey.com/custom-evan-longoria-jersey-large-72v.html . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. Custom Rays T-shirts . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. Wholesale Custom Rays Shirts . Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks even though the linebacker didnt need surgery. The overturnHafeezs replacement fared even worse. Sami Aslam appeared to miss the ball completely as he attempted to pull Chris Woakes in the second over. Englands appeal for caught behind was turned down by Marais Erasmus but Eoin Morgan was convinced enough to call for the review. Hotspot was inconclusive but there was enough of a spike on Snicko to convince the third umpire, Simon Fry, that Aslam had gloved the ball. It was the first of two calls from Erasmus during Pakistans innings that were overturned; the second came when Sarfraz Ahmed was given out lbw to Liam Plunkett only for the review process to suggest the ball would have speared past leg stump.The Wood DuckIt wasnt raining in St Johns Wood but it was definitely a day for the ducks at Lords; there were five in total and four of them belonged to Pakistan. The first came from a corker of a delivery from Mark Wood that pitched outside leg and nipped off the seam to bamboozle Sharjeel Khan and take out off stump. It left Pakistans top order reeling but no doubt delighted England fans almost as much as it would have entertained Richie Benaud impersonators - Pakistan 2 for 2 off 2.2 overs.The Root DamageSuch is Joe Roots importance to England in all three formats that it would hardly surprise if, whenever he left the field, the ECB dressed him in a flak jacket, wrapped him in cotton wool and put him on ice until he was next required to play. So when Adil Rashid raced across from fine leg at the same time Root ran in from deep midwicket towards a lofted ball from Hasan Ali the Lords crowd collectively held its breath and prayed. Rashid clattered into Roots ankle in what could only be classed as an illegal tackle. In football Rashid would have been red-carded; as it was, he was merely left red-faced as Root - who somehow managed to hold onto the ball and complete the catch - gingerly limped back to his fielding position.The Painful MissDuring the summer, viewers have become accustomed to the sight of Pakistan players prostrating themselves after reaching milestones. But when Imad Wasim went down on his hands and knees it was in pain rather than in the act of performing the sajda.ddddddddddddImad had moved outside off stump to scoop Woakes but completely muffed the shot when the ball followed him and cannoned in behind the pad and straight into his knee. He completed the single but the pain was evident; after treatment from the physio, Imad limped throughout the rest of his innings and all the way back into the pavilion.The SnatchLiam Plunkett is, to use the vernacular, one big unit. But he appeared to defy the laws of gravity when he took a one-handed stunner to dismiss Wahab Riaz. Wahab attempted to slash powerfully over cover but Plunkett launched himself to the left with all the acceleration of an exocet missile and was completely horizontal when he snatched the ball with his left hand. It was so good the entire England team stood together to watch the replay on the big screen before pummelling Plunkett with an encore round of backslapping.The Limp FinishThe 50th over is often hectic but the finale of Pakistans innings was more damp squib than fireworks. On the penultimate ball Mohammad Amir dug out a Woakes yorker and Imad set off from the non-strikers end in a limping scamper to grab the strike for the final ball. Amir stood his ground and the two batmen stood looking at each other as Woakes, who had shaped to throw to the keepers end, realised he had all the time in the world to amble back and gently remove the bails.The TV no-ballBefore the start of the ODI series, the ICC announced it would trial a system whereby the TV umpire judged on front foot no-balls and conveyed his decision to the on-field officials via a vibrating pager-watch. It took until the fourth innings of the series for it to be needed when Simon Fry buzzed Marais Erasmus after Hasan Ali overstepped by some margin. Judging from the smile on Erasmus face, it was definitely a case of good vibrations. ' ' '
