The best trait a quarterback can have — aside from arm talent — is his ability to lead a football team. Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles certainly has that according to his former offensive coordinator Lerentee McCray Color Rush Jersey , Frank Reich. Now with the Indianapolis Colts as the team’s head coach, Reich coached with the Philadelphia Eagles as the team’s offensive coordinator from 2016-2017. In 2017, Reich oversaw an offense which featured Foles at quarterback as he lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl title. “If you get me start talking about Nick as a person this could be a very long phone call because there are few people like him in this world,” Reich said during a conference call on Wednesday with the local media in Jacksonville. “I mean this guy is a unique human being.”During his time with the Eagles, Foles was able to take over the locker room simply by being a genuine person on and off the field. Reich says Foles is not a man with “bravado” he doesn’t enter the room and pound his chest, but he has been an example of fantastic leadership by “being humble and confident at the same time.” These qualities are tremendous for a franchise quarterback and something the Jaguars hope to make use of during his time in Jacksonville. On the football side of things, Reich spoke about Foles’ ability to throw the deep ball. One of his best traits which has been seen many times — especially during the 2017 Super Bowl. “He’s elite in throwing the ball down the field as a deep passer Corey Grant Jersey ,” Reich said. “He’s at the top. Take all the guys that throw a great deep ball -- he’s in there in that discussion. He can throw from every arm angle. He has a unique way -- it’s the point guard in him -- he was a very good basketball player, point guard.”One of the differences between Gardner Minshew II and Foles has been arm strength, and their ability to stay calm in the pocket. Reich feels Foles absolutely has both and went on to praise the quarterback’s ability to stay in the pocket under pressure and getting the ball out from all angles. Foles has shown in the past that he is fantastic in the pocket — especially under pressure. Reich made sure to mention how impressed he was by what Minshew was able to accomplish in his eight games starting for the Jaguars. “First I’d say that Minshew did an amazing job. I mean I was like everybody else, I was really impressed and enjoyed -- it was kinda fun just watching him do what he did, and I think he did a great job coming in under the circumstances, he played very well.”Minshew did play well, however with Foles ready to go Riech says that “there’s no question that you get a guy like Nick back under center who has seen it all https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Marcell-Dareus-Jersey , done it all on the biggest stage, against the best opponents and he’s done it time and time again.” Adding, “You can say all the positive things you want about Minshew, and he did great, but Nick’s presence and his play will certainly be a boost.” Whether it is making all the right reads or throws, Riech believes that the Jaguars have a fantastic quarterback in Foles. Jacksonville will find out very quickly when Foles faces the Colts on Sunday if he is prepared to do what his old ball coach expects him to do. The Jacksonville Jaguars have made it through the first quarter of the 2019 NFL season and it’s been a tumultuous ride. The team lost their expensive free agent franchise quarterback 10 snaps into the season, when Nick Foles broke his collar bone on a crushing hit while throwing his first touchdown in a Jaguars uniform. The team had to turn to a sixth-round rookie who looked overwhelmed in the preseason.The team was also dealing with injuries all along the offensive line again and then their superstar corner Josh Lambo Color Rush Jersey , Jalen Ramsey, asked for a trade from the team because he felt like there was a huge disconnect with the front office and “respect had been lost”. Through it all, amazingly, the Jaguars are tied with the rest of the AFC South at 2-2 and could easily be sitting at 3-1 and on top of the division had they converted the two-point conversion against the Houston Texans in Week 2.Through it all it never seemed like the locker room was falling apart or the player’s confidence wavered. Doug Marrone has taken a lot of flack from media, Jaguars fans, myself and others who cover the team, but after Sunday’s come from behind win he deserves a lot of credit. Sure Ronnie Harrison Jersey , he still has his flaws as a head coach, but his ability to keep the team focused through all the turmoil and shut out all the noise is worthy of praise. Even with all the dumb mistakes on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, namely the bad offensive penalties, the team kept their focus and fought back to win the win the game.A big reason they ended up coming back and winning the game were some of the halftime adjustments they made, especially on defense, which completely shut down the Broncos offense until late in the game. I’m not going to start a coach of the year campaign, but I thought it was worth pointing Marrone deserves some credit keeping everything going and not spiraling out of control https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Will-Richardson-Jersey , given how the season started.
