WEBVTT - Press Conference: Nick Foles January 13

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, at the end of the day, you know

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:03.760
<v Speaker 1>we didn't execute. Um, you know, we got to be

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 1>able to first few drives were great, UM, but after that,

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>we guess we have to keep it going. But I

0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>mean they're tremendous team. UM, hats off to them. UM,

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, unfortunately, you know, we had an opportunity at

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the end. And you know, it's tough. I mean it's tough.

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, you love playing this game with you know,

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>your teammates. And that's the toughest part about it, is

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>it just it stops. And you know thirty one teams

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>feel this at the end of the season. Um. And

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'd say the hardest part is you you

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>develop relates. I talk about relationships. You develop relationships with

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>your teammates, and you know, for it to end, it's tough, Um,

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>just being with these guys. But you know we're able

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to spend time in the locker room after and UM,

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that's what this game is about, is those relationships years. UM.

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not really gonna worry about it right now. UM.

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, I'm just gonna do what I

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>can to enjoy the fight back with my teammates. UM.

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>And we'll see what happens. Um. I do know that.

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, we went out there and gave it everything

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>we had to night and that's where you know, everyone's

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>got to keep their um heads held high because that's

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>what's about. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but ultimately,

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>if you give it everything you have. You know, that's

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>what's about. Other team that last play, what do you say, Oh, dude,

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>just you just tell me you love them. That's what's about.

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this game is tough. Not everyone can do it. Um.

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>In those moments, you know, just tell them I love you.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's keep going. Um. You know, amongst other things that

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll keep to myself. But you know that's the general message.

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>And that's what this team is about. That's what you know,

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>playing this game is about, is you know, developing those

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>relationships to you know, the tough part about it, like

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I said, is you know, when it's over, it's over. Um.

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>But you don't. I don't regret anything, you know. I

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>always play this games to develop relationships because you know,

0:01:53.760 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>that's what makes it strong team. So catches. Yeah, no,

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know that's part of the game. You know,

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>can't look back and you know, say what if or what?

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>You know. The confidence level in the huddle was extremely confident,

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>like always, UM, you know we go in there, we're

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>getting the huddle every time and expect to march right

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>down the field. You know, we were moving the ball

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and unfunfortunately it didn't go our way. UM. But that's

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the tough part about this game. UM. You know, you

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you win through losses, you win through wins. UM. You

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>know this is something that you know all of us

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>are going to learn from and we'll be better for UM.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I've talked a lot about, you know, my career in

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and the ups and downs. You're always learning, UM,

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>and you know we learned a lot tonight and it's tough,

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 1>but we'll keep moving on. First one, UM, he made

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a good play. I was trying to take a shot

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>down field. UM, need to get the ball up probably

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>another foot or so. But you know, I believe it's

0:02:54.160 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Moore made a good play and nobody

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>will see you though. UM. I think the big thing is,

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what the city means to me. UM. You

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>know it's always welcome me and my family. UM. It's

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 1>really been a joy to live there and be a

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>part of everything, and you know where the green and

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>where the jersey. So no matter what, you can't ever

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>take that away. Um, we were able to do some

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>really special things. So you know, we'll see what happens.

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you this, I've enjoyed every single moment

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 1>and it'll always have a special place in my heart.

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>The city, the fans, the people, um, everything about it. Um.

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing like playing in the link, um in front

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>of the crowd. UM, it's it's some of my favorite moments. UM.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>My family's got to experience them. UM, my daughter's got

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to experience them. So we'll see what happens. But I've

0:03:49.240 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed everything. Just Uh, what's the play? What's the next play? Um?

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>You know that's all that matters. UM. I talked about

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>staying in the moment and the you know, playing the

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>super Dome, we have an opportunity to go down and

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>score at the end. Um. The only thing I'm worried

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>about is the play and then recognizing what the defense

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>is doing and then ultimately executing the play. So just

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>simplifying things in my head in those moments so I

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>can go out there and you know, march down the field,

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>back things out there was there. You know, it's just

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a miss. Um. You know, you know, different coverage, different

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>things part of this game. You take shots and you know,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, ultimately, UM, you know, I wish

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I had put a little more air on it. Um.

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>That's the tough part about the game is you know

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>we didn't executing that. I gotta throw a better ball. Ye,

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>two options based upon the coverage or was that straight?

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Here's a couple of options. Yeah. I mean, ultimately we

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't execute. Did you overall just not feel as sharp

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>as you have the less stretch? No? I mean, you know,

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>football is a funny sport. It means you know, especially

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>playoff football. Um, it's a it's a it's a it's tough. Um.

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I felt like we started the game off

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>hot and we were battling the rest of the game,

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we gave ourselves an opportunity to you know,

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>win the game at the end, Um, based on how

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>our team was playing. Um, you wish you could get done.

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.919
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, you know, New

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Orleans did a great job of you know, fighting themselves

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know, giving themselves a win, and ultimately they won.

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>So UM, you know, I feel good about you know,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone's effort. I know everyone gave everything. This is tough

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>just because you know, this is the last time this

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>team will be together. And that's the toughest part about

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>this different this year, because no, it's always difficult. Um.

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, fortunately we were able to be the you know,

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>one team that finished on top. And that's just an

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 1>electrifying feeling. Um, it doesn't really matter. Um if you're

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 1>not that one team. It's tough, like I said, because

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the locker room changes and that's it. Um. But I know,

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 1>like you know, we fought our way all season. Um,

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the guys are resilient, our coaches are resilient. Everyone at

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the facilities resilient, and they showed that. So everyone should

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>be very proud of what they were able to accomplish. Ultimately,

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't our end goal, but it's like I said,

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 1>everyone should keep their heads held high because you know,

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>we were able to you know, really pick it up

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the last four weeks or so, and you know, we

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>were so close all throughout the year. And that that's

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>a testament to the people that you know are in

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the facility, the guys in the locker room, because most

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 1>teams aren't able to do that and fight like this

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>team has. UM. I think the thing right now is just, um,

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>your emotions. You're trying, you're trying to figure them out

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>right now. There's a lot going on. UM. You know, ultimately,

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>all I can really think about is just, you know,

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you join this fight with my teammates. UM. I know

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we wish we were continuing on, but you know that's

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>part of this game. UM. You know, just enjoying that

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>seeing them tomorrow, UM, that's really all I'm thinking about. Yeah,

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, I think i've you know, we'll

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>see what happens in the future. UM. Once again, I'm

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>not gonna speculate on that, but yeah, I love leading

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a team. I love you know, being in the huddle. UM,

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>being a part of a locker room. UM. Doing that,

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that's you know why I play the game. You know,

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.119
<v Speaker 1>that's that's football. Though. UM, injuries happened. Um we showed

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that last year. We had a lot of injuries and

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>we were able to overcome them. And you know, ultimately,

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I know tonight a couple of guys got banged up,

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>but that's part of the game. UM, next guy up.

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>And you know I've always said, the guys who are

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>injured are still there supporting our team. UM. And that's

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>something that's really special. UM. But you know that's just

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>part of football. You know. That's a that's a tough question. UM.

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>You know it's a it's a really unique situation, UM,

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>something that honestly, I need time to just step back.

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I love the city. I love playing there. UM. You know,

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>we have three guys in that quarterback room that can

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>play in this league. UM. And that's the part about it.

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you this, no matter what happens, UM,

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it's been a joy, um being playing in the city,

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>being in that quarter room, quarterback room with Carson and Nate.

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to work every day. And I know we

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>talked about it earlier, but the city means so much

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to me and my family, UM, you know, and it

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:46.079
<v Speaker 1>always will you. Carson by your side throughout the runs

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>in the Super Bowl Championship, you spoke out again at

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>this time, was his message to you after this being

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.719
<v Speaker 1>a loss? Yeah, I think you know, Carson and Nate, Um,

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>we're all together. UM. I think the big thing is

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 1>just you know, love and support for one another in

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that quarterback room them. UM, you know, it's it's tough

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>too when the season comes to the end, because you

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>do we do so much together with film, study, UM,

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>with supporting each other on the sidelines and practice. UM,

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>so for it to come to an end, it's tough.

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>But like I said, you always cherish those relationships you develop,

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>UM going to work every day. So just having Carson

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and Nate be supported of me this last stretch and

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>when Carson was playing or Nate's playing, like it's just

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>special quarterback room because of the support system and UM,

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you know something that you know we don't take for granted. UM.

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I'd say the big thing is, you know, I would

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>like to thank them, UM, thank them for their support. Uh.

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 1>You know it's not ultimately you know how we wanted

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to end the season. But I think you know, this team,

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 1>um represents what Philly is about. You know, people counted

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>us out and we were able to continue to fight

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and give us an opportunity to enter the playoffs and

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>then win the first round. And you know, we had

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to win this game, and this team never

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>stopped fighting. Much like the city of Philadelphia. That's just

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>sort of you know, living in the city, that's just

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>who the people are. But ultimately I just want to

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>say how grateful I am for everything they've done, every

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>moment in the link, and you know, just continue to

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>support the Eagles and there's a bright future here with

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>this team and everyone there. Thank you all,
