Vick Releases Statement Says He Appreciates Support From Eagles Organization
BREAKING NEWS, Eagles, News, Quarterbacks Friday, November 30th, 2012
The Eagles just released a statement from quarterback Michael Vick.
“I want to thank my fans for the thousands of well wishes. I also appreciate the support of the entire Eagles organization. I feel strong and healthy. As a professional athlete, I want to play in every game but the NFL has a specific protocol to protect players. My focus is to complete this process successfully, so I can rejoin my team on the field.”
This statement seems to be an effort to clear up a controversy which was started today by an ESPN report by Ed Werder where he says that Vick feels the Eagles are “playing politics” with his concussion tests as a way of keeping him off the field and Nick Foles in the lineup.

@Have I would suggest that the line is more comfortable knowing Foles will be where he is supposed to be. As Vinnie pointed out last week Dennis Kelly another Rookie said as much. Funniest thing is that when the blitzes do get called the kid doesnt get rocked as much. I think maybe 3 hard hits on the blitz last night…that used to be a series.
i was being sarcastic — i absolutely know why he isn’t getting hit as much! i was baiting the vick apologist.
Why wasn’t he getting hit? Would it have anything to do with the Cowboys getting gashed on damn near every running play nah its because we have a Harvard mind playing QB. And for the record the Qb took a few nasty hits.
all QB’s get hit. the question is that esentially behind the same line he gets hit about a third as much as 7 did.
For all the Foles fans he looked great, but one game doesn’t make a career right? What is Bobby Hoying doing these days. Just joking guys @Vinnie Vick was never getting paid that money no matter how Foles plays.
So here is how i see this team….
The D sucks, a few bright spots at LB and a good Dline but perhaps could use 1 more DT.
Nothing in the secondary at all… anywhere.
Oline may be the worst we’ve ever seen… but… should be better next year when heathy and we add 1 RT.
RB’s have been a strength all year and very very underused.
Wr’s have speed… but.. as we’ve been saying for years, can do nothing in the redzone (but pman just a few decades earlier in the good book of Pman)
TE’s- we know very little about them right now because they are usually used to block in an attempt to get things open downfield but…. Celeck drops too much or shreds the D… depends on the night.
Qb- Doesnt matter who’s back there… the D and Line arent good enough to win games.
Coaching- they mis planned for the year, they cannot use the strengths of the team (run game) unless they feel like it, playing for only a few more weeks.
Sound right?
Can you knob gobblers stop with the Vick VS. Foles garbage already! DAY AFTER FREAKING DAY, the same crap! The Vick apologists VS. the realists. This isn’t a debate. This is an EAGLES issue! Vick is a bum & an afterthought, & Foles hasn’t proven $#!T yet! He has looked OK, so let’s not anoint him anything yet! This team has WAAAAY too many things, more important to worry about, before you anoint the next coming. Just cut it the F^#@ out already! It’s nauseating! This entire organization needs to be NUKED, QB & all! If Peters doesn’t visit the Lourdes healing spring, we will need at least 3 good O-linemen. We need an entire starting secondary. We need a starting SAM LB, so we can move Kendricks to his naturally fit WILL position. Depending on the next DF we will run, we need a monster in at DT, & another stud DE. Not to mention a big WR & TE! This team is 2 years away, from being 2 years away! Deal with it, it’s a total rebuild at years end, & we have to deal with it, like it, or not! This team is an embarrassment, a circus, & a disgrace to this entire city!
Vick’s a bum and you’re an internet troll, sounds like you got that bull twisted.
When you read between the lines of the castillo/washburn thing…. it seems like somehow washburn acted alone on his line calls, was insubordinate to castillo and it showed in this disjointed defense. seems like at 3-1 if they had canned washburn they may have gotten this together… just a thought. he was a cancer for sure!
I stated when they hired the strong headed Washburn and had him reporting to a newbie (Castllo) that it was going to be a problem, and sure enough, it played out how I thought it would. Every year a couple of highly pre-Season rated NFL Team just implodes, this years it was the Eagles,Jets and Chargers, who collectively have given up and may not win another game for the remainder of the Season. A big Reason is a lack of Leadership with all these Teams and Coaching Staffs of all 3 Teams.. I kind of feel bad for AR, but he made his own bed and too many poor decisions over the last couple of years have caught up to him
he got away from his principles: 1. have a tight inner circle, promote coaches from within 2. stay away from older FA’s 3. count on player leaders to police themselves.
when you look at the group of coaches he surrounded himself with and then look at this group…. they were all ‘his’ guys. As someone who has led a school and teams- you have to be surrounded by ‘your’ guys!
Eagles Off-Season Needs
OL- A RT, Re-Sign RG Jake Scott, have Herremans compete at LG with Mathis
Release D Bell (should have been in August)
Projected 2013 OL from Left to Right Peters, either Herrenans or Mathis, Kelce,
Scott and Top Pick Joeckel at RT
Back-ups Reynolds, Watkins and Kelly and then Draft an interior C/Guard in the middle Rounds
QB- come to camp with Foles/Edwards and add another QB for Camp Reps
RB -fine, bring in real FB to compete w/Havilli or make Polk learn the Position
TE – add a receiving, athletic TE to replace Harbor
WR – add 2 WR’s and at least one big Target
i’m hoping at some point the defense gets a new player or two. i think they have to go high pick on stud defender. someone who will lay the wood because right now we have no one that arrives at the ball with any pop. NO ONE!
