Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid praises Michael Vick – NFL News
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is no doubt a player of high stature, but his injuries and other disciplinary issues have brought him bad publicity many times.
Last year when the Eagles were looking a threatening unit, Vick struggled with his form and was bothered by different injury problems and as a result, Eagles were not able to perform as per the expectations.
However, Vick seems to have realised his responsibility and as the Eagles prepare for the upcoming season the quarterback has become one of the motivating factors for other players.
Vick is also improving his technique and he recently watched tapes of his previous games along with the quarterbacks coach to ascertain his flaws and find a solution.
Vick has attended all the workouts this offseason and he is expected to maintain the attendance in future as well.
This has really impressed Eagles head coach Andy Reid, who has praised Vick for the hard work he is doing.
According to the details present on the team’s official website, Reid is of the view that other players also maintained attendance during the voluntary workout exercises because of Vick.
Reid said of Vick:
"Michael knows what he needs to do and he's worked like crazy and one of the reasons that we've had the attendance here that we've had and one of the reasons ... is because of Michael Vick."
He added:
"Michael Vick was here. He didn't miss a workout. He's the one generating that energy. He's the one that's making the players around him be here and demanding stuff from them. He's done a great job of that this offseason."
Vick’s playing style has been criticised many observers who think that the player takes a lot of time after taking a snap before throwing the ball.
Vick is also trying to overcome this flaw which will help him avoid getting sacked. Also, Reid has highlighted that Vick should also go down or out of bounds sometimes rather than just rushing.
Vick is working hard to overcome these flaws as his performance will be very crucial for the team in the upcoming season because if he fails to deliver Eagles might once again end up without qualifying for the playoffs.
