Michael Vick Last Quotations

My goal is to play within the offense, like I did last week. I learned to trust the guys around me. If I have to resort to running at some point in time, then I'll do it.

No! ... If need be, I'll run just as much as I did last year. The thing now is I know how to protect myself. A few years ago, I was running reckless. Now, I'm sliding and getting out of bounds for the longevity, baby for my season, for my career.

I wouldn't say that the game last week was similar to the one in Carolina. That was pretty much a blowout, if you ask me. Last week, we had a better chance to win. We put ourselves in a position where we could win and we didn't come through in those situations.

I think we proved ourselves in the preseason. We took care of our business when we were supposed to. As an offense, we moved the ball efficiently. We were able to be consistent, and those were things we didn't do a great job of last year. We're ready.

Our feathers are ruffled, ... We're making a name for ourselves in the NFC, as well as among the bird elite. With apologies to our nation's national bird, we really took it to the Eagles. They've pushed us around for the last time.

Man, this time last year, I was just trying to make the right reads, ... Now I know 90% of the playbook. I'm seeing it. It's just a matter of getting the ball there.

We're all trying to get on the same page. I want to throw the ball right at them so they can catch it. I didn't do that all the time last year.

We were able to take advantage of some things and some looks that we couldn't do last year down in Philadelphia in the cold, being a one-sided football team,

This year I think you'll see Michael Vick at his best. This year I'm more comfortable, I'm more relaxed. Last year I was a rookie. Now I feel it's my team, and it's my time. Somewhere in my heart, I know, and can feel something good about to happen.

Everybody worked together to make the receivers better. Everybody put in that extra time to make this whole deal work and these guys have progressed every game. Last year was our first year in the system and people dogged us in certain ways but sometimes you've got to give people a chance.

I took the last shot and kind of fell on it and aggravated it a little bit, but I'm all right.

The last two years, sometimes it's been a little difficult, ... Last year I started out in a new offense, so I kind of expected things not to go as well, but this year I was expecting a lot on myself, and it looks like I'm not on pace to do what I set my goals at. We've got nine games left, and there's still room for improvement.
