It’s Michael Vick anniversary in Philadelphia – already and for all, he’s acceptable to play Sunday afterwards confined a two-game abeyance that ends his N.F.L. conduct – but Coach Andy Reid is befitting his quarterback bearings a abstruseness a little longer.
Only this abundant is clear: the amateur will be Donovan McNabb or Kevin Kolb. McNabb, nursing a absurd rib, can throw, Reid said, but not with abundant acceleration or breadth and he did not convenance Wednesday. He absent Sunday’s accident to New Orleans and, unless he has an awfully accelerated recovery, seems acceptable to absence this Sunday’s bold adjoin Kansas City. That would buy McNabb a little added time to heal, because the Eagles’ bye is Oct. 4.
Kolb started adjoin New Orleans and threw for 391 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in the 48-22 loss.
But Reid wouldn’t say who would be the advancement if Kolb starts – Jeff Garcia or Vick. In fact, Reid wouldn’t even accept that Vick would play at all Sunday, although the Eagles accept been gradually rolling out a amalgamation of Wildcat plays: absolute snaps, usually to anyone added than the quarterback, that acquiesce the amateur demography the breeze to apprehend the aegis and adjudge whether to run, canyon or duke off. They clothing Vick’s abilities so able-bodied that he alleged himself the “Wildcat Originally” on Wednesday.
It’s true, the Falcons ran something like the Wildcat, after the abrupt nickname, in 2006, if Vick ran for added than 1,000 yards. Vick hasn’t played in a regular-season bold back December 2006, but endure anniversary the Eagles gave a adumbration of what is to appear by active 10 Wildcat plays with three altered players demography snaps.
Vick said that he was about 85 to 90 percent of his ideal conditioning, and the address of his legs, his a lot of adverse weapon, will a lot of acceptable actuate how abounding Wildcat plays he is complex in.
“I’m actual aflame to accept the befalling to go out there and play football, behindhand of my role,” Vick told reporters Wednesday. “This is a dream appear accurate for me.”
