Vick can see future with Eagles
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick sat down with James Brown of CBS for an interview that aired during today's pre-game show.
Here's a recap of what he said.
Q: Has this year been a roller coaster for him?
Vick: "It hasn't been tough at all. Me and Kevin [Kolb] talked about it, and we both just felt like we was here to do what was best for the football team. Now I'm back being a starter, and we just agree that we're going to continue to stay competitive, help one another, push one another and make the most out of our situation. I feel like this team was definitely capable of winning a Super Bowl regardless of who was behind the center. As long as you put it together, as long as you play smart, I think sky is the limit."
Q: Can Vick see himself spending the rest of his career with the Eagles?
A: "You know what? I can. Hopefully that'll happen, but if not, I'll just be blessed for the opportunity that they gave me. But while I got the time now, I'm just going to enjoy every week, each and every week."
Q: Does he need to change his style at all to avoid big hits?
Vick: "That hit I took against Washington really woke me up. Every run, I felt like I had to break the big one. I know I still got it, and that's what's most important. I have to be there for the longevity of the season and for my career and take great consideration into my health."
Q: Has Vick given 110 percent like he said he would after he got out of prison?
Vick: "I've done that. Today was my off day, and I'm here. I wanted to be a perfectionist. I'm chasing perfection. And when I'm leaving this building on Friday, I want to know everything about the opposition, everything. So I just give myself that opportunity now, and it all pays off in the end."
Q: Does Vick like the person/player he is now compared to the person/player he was with the Falcons?
Vick: "I'm in love with the Michael Vick of today. If I would have never went through what I went though, I wouldn't be sitting here today, feeling the way that I'm feeling, expressing myself to you. I'd probably still be taking the Michael Vick experience for granted.
MCNABB UPDATE
The NFL insiders chimed in on the Donovan McNabb situation during today's pre-game shows. Jay Glazer of Fox Tweeted that Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan doesn't think McNabb fits Washington's system and thought of benching him weeks ago.
Per ProFootballTalk.com, Glazer also said the Redskins thought of benching McNabb for his homecoming to the Linc in Week 4.
Meanwhile, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Redskins had to cut their playbook in half for McNabb. Mortensen also says McNabb has had trouble calling plays in the huddle.
Earlier Sunday, I posted on some things to look for during Eagles-Colts. And a reminder that I'll be chatting live from the Linc at 4:15.

Phillysteve/Rubicon obviously neither of you have ever done anything wrong or payed the price for those actions.Im not for what Vick has done but he has paid the price the law demanded so let it go.It is old new move to the PRESENT....Come out of you small WORLD!!— rneal- P.S. Losers please learn to spell "judgmental", there is no e after the g. Perhaps more reading and less hero worship for sociopaths would do you all some good.— Scope33
- Hooray for the loser fans who have so little in their lives they line up behind a dog killer in a weak attempt to feel like a winner. Congrats on your win today guys ... well earned. Hopefully the Eagles get some more cons on their team.— Scope33
- Where are the haters?? 5-3 with 2 vs Dallas + Chi + Was + Hou. I smell 10-6 11-5 and some playoffs AGAIN

Vick has manned up, did his time like a man, and changed his life. Some people can't change no matter what happen to them or around them. The exact thing that we all pretend prison will do for people, make them change their ways and be better person, actually happened for Mike Vick, and some people can't seem to handle that.- Vick looked amazing today , like he did at Tech. Hopefully he can take us to The Promised Land.— DonovanMcNabb

- Dog killer! Dog killer! Dog killer! Dog killer!— PhillySteve21
Rub24 - go back to reading the weddung announcements and stay off the men's pages. There should be a rule that before you begin the non-sports related judgements and name calling, you have to have the details of your personal life made public to prove your perfection. On second thought, even then I don't wnna hear it.j****a***.
On this topic, I'm more upset that Shanahan gets fed up in 7 games and it took Reid 11 years! WTH? If those McNabb Update claims are true, we should have been looking much harder for a better replacement a LONG time ago, like at least 10 years! Good but not great, he was, and that's not good enough. Something should have been done. I hate it when it feels bad to be proven right.- It doesn't really matter who the quarterback is when our defense is this poor.— rubicon24
- Vick is a felon. Go NFL! Gotta love scraping the bottom of the barrel for heroes.— rubicon24
- As long as the idiot coach is in charge, Vick won't be here even if.he takes the Eagles to the Super Bowl and WINS it.— essell
- big shock mcnabs not acurate he throws bombs and not much else— bigchucklund
