Eagles Using Vick Properly But He Could Get Hurt

Vick throws the football The Eagles are finally using their backup quarterback Michael Vick correctly but it could very well get him hurt.

If you notice the other teams who are having success running the wildcat offense, they’re snapping the ball to a running back and he’s running inside and outside plays.

You’ve got to be an inisde run threat in the wildcat offense if you want to be successful. 

Prior to the last couple of games, Vick has been running outside and reluctant to turn it up and get those tough yards inside.  The Birds have started sending him inside and it is what you have to do in the wildcat.

Mcnabb and Vick hug after TD passThe advantage of the wildcat offense is that you have an extra blocker.  That extra blocker is beneficial when the defense isn’t sure where the running back is going with the football.

The more that Vick is a threat inside the easier it’s going to be for him to take the ball outside.

The problem with Vick going inside is that he’s going to get hit and hit hard.  He got nailed a couple of times today.  Every time he’s gets popped he could get hurt.

If he takes the ball and runs inside and outside, he’s going to be basically serving as a running back. 

There’s a very good reason why running backs don’t have long careers in the NFL.  They get hit more and harder than anybody else. 

I don’t think Vick is going to stay healthy as he plays the role of a running back.

I think plays will open up in the passing game as he convinces teams that he will run the ball inside and outside.
