One story about Nick Foles' preparation habits
Zach Berman, Inquirer Staff Writer
There will be a lot of discussion this week about Nick Foles. His teammates have raved about him since training camp. Here's an anecdote that tight end Clay Harbor shared that sheds light on Foles' preparation:
The Eagles can download game preparation material onto their iPads. Brent Celek had a couple of players over for dinner last Thursday, and Harbor was one of them. Harbor doesn't have wifi at his home, so he downloads all the material onto his iPad at the NovaCare Complex. The process takes a few hours, so Harbor downloaded the gametape before dinner and planned on returning after dinner to pick up the iPad.
Harbor was at Celek's home for about two hours. He returned to the facility around 7:30 p.m.. He walked into the tight end's meeting room, and Nick Foles and Trent Edwards were watching film, studying the opposing defense and drawing plays. The work day had been over for a few hours, and neither quarterback was expected to even play the game.
"That just tells you something about Nick," Harbor said. "That's a game he didn't know he was going to play. No idea he'd be in. Just great preparation. And that's the kind of player he is."
sort of telling the Vick wasn't there. Too cocky these days and that was showing in his play.— connorjr- Foles and the rookie QB's are already better than the washed-up loser Vick..Vick was an awful 11-17 the past three years..Foles will be better than that.— jim35
- Foles is the next Big Ben...Foles is 6'6" and 245 lbs with a strong cannon arm...and Foles is very accurate and broke Drew Brees passing records in high school....this 22 year old kid will keep getting better and better every game.— jim35
- MRD: You should phone your proctologist immediately. He has found your head.— jjthree
- Why weren't other players doing the same as Foles and Edwards? Especially the OFFENSIVE OFFENSIVE LINE?— essell
