WEBVTT - Nick Foles Press Conference - 8/16/18

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>The huddle. Um, you know, I missed on some throws,

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>but I was starting to you know, get a rhythm

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and get a filled back, and I think that takes time.

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>That's why we had the preseason to go out there

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and play. And it wasn't good enough. I have to

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>be better. But um, at the same time, I know

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:15.079
<v Speaker 1>what it takes to you know, keep moving forward on.

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>The guys in the locker room knows know what it takes.

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>So we have to hold each other accountable, keep moving. Um,

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>look at this film improved. But I also think there's

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of great things tonight. I think a lot

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>of the young guys really stepped up. Um. I thought

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Nate did a great job of you know, going in

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>there and you know, finding a rhythm and really letting

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the ball fly and show what he's capable of doing. Um,

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, guys making plays. Um, it wasn't clean enough tonight.

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 1>Um as a team, UM, we're a lot cleaner than that.

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>But we'll get back to work and improve on all

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>these things. Just um, you know, the plan was really

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>just you know, however long Coach Peterson wants us to play,

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>so UM, you know that's what was going and you

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>know unfortunately, you know, I sort of had a you know,

0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>my arm grabbed and sort of had to go through

0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that issue. But um, you know, I would have liked

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to put some points on the board. Um, but you

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>know with the starting crew, but we didn't. But you know,

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll keep improving and like I said, we know what

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 1>it takes to get better and we just have to

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>do it. I think everyone's made a big deal about it. Um,

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Tom and I think you know, there's

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of craziness. I mean I've always respected Tom.

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I met Tom several times, and um, it was great

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to see him. Um, you know, but like I said,

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone made a bigger deal because at the

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, you know, he's a great dude.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>He's a heck of a player. When the greatest of

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>all time, and you know, it's just stay hi. I

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>mean that's what quarterbacks do after games. Um, and everyone

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>made a big deal of the Super Bowl, but I

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 1>mean the Super Bowl's chaos after so but he was

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>nice as he always is. So you know, I wish

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.559
<v Speaker 1>in the best of luck this season. I've been playing

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the preseason last year, but you weren't needed if you

0:01:53.600 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>were in one playing preseason, did you want to plays?

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not even gonna go there. Um, We're

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>just gonna you know, live in the moment and just

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>sort of go day to day. So I'm gonna do

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>everything I can to get back on the field and

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, hopefully practice the first day, we get back

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>practicing and be ready roll. Don't worry about it. The

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>second game. UM, we have to execute better. UM. You know,

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I have to actually better. Um from the quarterback position,

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>we as a team have to execute better. But UM,

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>you know that's where I know all of us will

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>look at the film. UM, We'll get back on the

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>practice field and we'll continue to improve. That's the that's

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>the great That's the great thing about this sport is

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not always going to be perfect. Um. It's the

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>toughest part about the sport is you want to go

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.519
<v Speaker 1>out there and you want to play a clean game.

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>You want to win the game, you want to put

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of points on up. Um. But that's where

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you you really have to dig deep right now. And

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>just you know, we're in preason, we're in training camp.

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>We have to continue to grow as a team. With

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the team's status and with Carson's availability, I'm sure would

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>you understand if the team's a little more poscious with

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you because of But um, you know, I'm not really

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>in a position to say I'm just gonna go out

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>there and play whatever the you know, team decides or

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>what they do or not. You know, as a player,

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.839
<v Speaker 1>we just go out there each and every day, um,

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to try to help this team become better and when

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>so that's really all I focus on before uh, this

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>exact one. No, Um, you know, I'll see more tomorrow

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>about what's going on. But I feel really good about it.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, after the imagry, if it was a regular season,

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>you think that could have been something you could have

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>played through and that there's no weadn't even try to

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in this scenario. Um, you know, I don't know, it's

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>a hypothetical situation. UM. We felt like it was best

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>just to shut me down at that point, UM, just

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 1>to make sure, you know, we give a further look,

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to make sure everything's okay. Um. Like I said, I

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>feel optimistic about it. UM, so I'll find out more

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>information tomorrow. I thought I was very proud of Nate.

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you know, he went in and you know,

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not always it's not always easy to get a rhythm.

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think that he was really doing a good

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>job of let him wrote downfield, give him his receiver

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>chance when players were breaking down. He was doing what

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>he could with his legs, but being as smart as

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>he could, you know, throwing balls away at times. I

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>thought he played really well. I think, you know, just

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>from the point he got here last year when he

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>came from Washington, I think, you know, he's improved like crazy,

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and he continues too. So it's fun to he's like

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a little brother and me. So it's fun to see

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>him go out there and sort of slinging around a

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>little bit and give us opportunity to come back. How

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>much would mean you if you are able to play

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>another preseason game and find that rhythm, that mean a lot.

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'd be back on the playing field with

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the guys. So that's my goal. That's what I feel

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>like it's going to happen. But once again, you know,

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you sort of have to go through the proper channels

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>and proper protocols with all this. So I'll find out

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>more information tomorrow and then go from there. Awesome. Thank

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:53.159
<v Speaker 1>You'll appreciate
