Michael Vick Team Quotations

I am terribly disappointed. But this is the ultimate team sport and we will have to keep playing. I have confidence that these guys and coaches can get it done.

I run the ball a little bit more than other quarterbacks so, that might take away from some of his catches. You have to be a team player when you come here.

There hasn't been a game this year where we came out and everything we watched on film, the team came out and played what they showed, ... We always get the different looks. I don't even know why we watch film anymore. I mean for real, man.

The worst thing you can do is catch a team coming off a bad performance, ... Those are the teams that are the most dangerous. They will blow you out. You have to look at it like this: They are the defending world champions.

This goes to show how far we've come since 2004. We were playing a great team like Philly on a Monday night with everybody watching. That's what you play the game for. We certainly stepped up to the challenge.

There's a lot of pressure, especially being a first-round pick. Fans want action, and they want victories, and they want to see the team be successful. When you come in and you're the first-round pick, they expect big things out of you.

It shows how much we've come since 2004. Playing a great team like Philadelphia on Monday night is why you play this game. We certainly stepped up to the challenge.

I've got to feel good and know that I can give the team 100 percent effort, ... I can't sit here and say I can go out there at 85 percent if that 85 percent is going to hurt the team. Hopefully I will feel good enough. I'm going to try and give it a shot.

I just think more precaution should be taken when I'm inside the pocket. Look at all the replays - I'm on the ground every time. It's unfortunate for myself, it's unfortunate for my team and I'd be lying if I sat here and said I wasn't frustrated right now.

The beginning of my love for football goes back to when I was seven years old. I was spending time with my grandmother, Caletha Vick. I never knew anything about the game until one Sunday afternoon when she turned on the television because the Redskins were playing. They were my Uncle Casey's favorite team-and my grandmother's favorite too. After watching the game with them, I was hooked.
