Eagles’ RB LeSean McCoy: Nick Foles will blow it away this year
By Jack Crosby
We all know that the success of the Philadelphia Eagles’ high octane offense runs off the energy of one of the best running backs in the league, LeSean McCoy. This was clearly evident last season. But what was also clearly evident was the fact that head coach Chip Kelly found the perfect quarterback to engineer it all, Nick Foles, who stepped in for an injured Michael Vick and never gave the job back.

Foles, in the time that he did play, was one of the most efficient signal callers in the league, throwing for 27 touchdowns with just two interceptions.
You would think that he can’t really get that much better, however McCoy disagrees. Foles’ All-Pro running believes that this is the year he blows everyone away.
“Nick, he wants to play, he wants to get better. He’s playing lights out even in camp, but he still wants to be at a higher level,” McCoy said Wednesday night, via CSN Philly. “He’s at that peak where people know him like, ‘Man, this Foles, is he that good?’ Because you see the stats, you see the numbers. I think this is the year he blows ’em out like, ‘Yeah, I’m Nick Foles. I’m Philadelphia’s quarterback. I’m the guy.’ And this is the year he blows it away.”
To think that Foles could get even better is a scary thought, but then again, as we saw last season, this entire team’s offense is a scary entity in and of itself.
