Nick Foles Named Player of the Week

Against the Tampa  Bay Buccaneers Nick Foles had one of his best games in his career; He threw for 296 yards, 3 touchdowns, and ran for a rushing touchdown.“I thought Nick did a really nice job, really, really happy with how we performed within our offense,” said coach Chip Kelly, after watching tape of last Sunday’s performance. “Did a good job of taking what the defense gave us. There were a lot of times he got us out of some bad plays and into some good ones with some decisions he made, so we were really happy with how Nick played.”

“It’s dangerous, when you start thinking you’re good,” said Foles. “I think there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance. I just try to stay humble and try to strive to work better and try to improve myself. You have to be confident, and that’s how you approach the field, that’s how you throw the ball, but the minute you start thinking you’re pretty good, you start becoming complacent.“I’ve been there. I’ve done that. In college you have a great game, throw four or five touchdowns and you feel good about it (then) you play the next game and you get smacked. Then you’re seeing stars. You just learn through playing this game a long time, ‘Hey, I’ve gotta stay steady.’ ”

Foles is getting the start on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys because, Michael Vick is still not a 100% with his injury.
