Wing Tips " VICK’S SHARPNESS SURPRISES NEW TEAMMATES
Several Eagles – on offense and defense – were stunned to see that Vick already knew certain routes and patterns and already knew where his receivers belonged – and motioned them there. "He learned it so quickly. I was surprised," said wideout and Delaware State product Shaheer McBride. "I saw him out there directing guys. I was like, ‘OK, wow. That doesn’t look right.’ Is he supposed to be directing guys already?"

Vick

I really want to know what we have in him. Any chance he plays on Thursday? I always thought he was overrated as a QB, but in the wildcat he could be deadly (although, its technically NOT a wildcat offense if the QB takes the snap).

Seems like hes had his head in the playbook, but I just see how hell have any kind of touch on his throws after 2 years.

“…I just (dont) see…”
woops, fairly important word to miss

by philiafan14364 on Aug 16, 2009 10:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

He is only allowed to play in the last two preseason games.

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

Fans are the most superficial people on this planet

If Vick helps this team win all the nimrods will be praising him.

It’s funny when a player gets in violent legal trouble everyone says “what an asshole,” except all the dorks on the players respective fan base. Anything to win

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

by Joe_D on Aug 16, 2009 12:25 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah. Honestly, I couldn’t care less at this point.

More important question is, Where the hell have all these new random members come from? I’m a little tired of “my thoughts” pieces on the Vick subject. Honestly, it’s great you have an opinion and sometimes its educating but just like the whole WR shenanigans early in the off season, it’s tired. But, this won’t be the end of it, unfortunately.

But there’s rec’d posts, that trump the less quality posts.

But I guess we can’t expect everyone to stay current.

I’ll tell you what’s really tired … references to the Santa thing from the 1960s, especially misguided ones that paint that particular Santa as poor victim. I had to stop reading the promising Brian Donovan piece above when I got to that, just on principle.

So are you finished watching the Eagles?

Because if you are, I respect your decision to boycott, and would love to take any tickets you have off your hands to help you keep those morals nice and squeaky clean.

How do you feel about Brett Myers? I’d like to see some more Phillies games, too, if your disgust extends to wife beaters.

Read my post up on the recommended fan posts

And you’ll see just how many extra tickets you’ll be getting from me.

Sorry, new here. I actually agree with you. Sorry for the snark – but I’m still interested in those tickets! :)

Vick's Sharpness Surprises New Teammates

I wonder how long bringing Vick to the Eagles was in the works for two reasons:

1. From the accounts of that story he seems to have a pretty good grasp of the plays. Makes me wonder if he was given the playbook and in contact with the coaching staff to start prepping him long before the deal was announced.

2. The fact that Vick jerseys are already available in Modells. I have to believe that there was something in place some time ago to get those jerseys produced and put on the shelf. I have my doubts that they started printing them up the day after it was announced he was going to be an Eagle and they are in the stores already.

Sometimes it's just fun to take the family for a spin around the lake in the old boat. Even if it's not your family or your boat, and they're screaming for you to stop.

by Baron Dainer Von Tresvant on Aug 16, 2009 3:03 PM EDT reply actions  

1. I’ll bet they gave him the book the night he signed and he sat all day Friday studying. Also, don’t forget, he ran a West Coast in Atlanta, too.

2. Modells probably called their workers in at 9 PM Thursday to start printing.

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

You could whine and cry or you could go find some article that you think I missed. It’s amazing how people are so closed minded they can’t even fathom that someone might have an opinion other then their own. If you disagree with some of these articles, go bother the people who wrote them.

Plus, if you had a clue and bothered to read you’d know that half of those articles contained plenty of negative views on Vick.

by JasonB on Aug 16, 2009 4:25 PM EDT reply actions  

He doesn’t have to like it, but he could try to contribute something other than whining and making up nonsense.

His name IS evil banner

He’s an idiot for just having that name lol

haha...

you know…. he’s a running back like adrien peterstain, ladainian tomlinburger, and clinton porterhouse.

nonstoppable

The Eagles’ opponents can try to fly into Philadelphia with a couple layovers, but the Eagles’ team law office McNab, Vick, and Westfield will require nonstop flights.

When can we start looking at teams that are carrying extra veteran tight-ends, MLBs and DTs that might need the service of Monseuir A.J. Feely.
