Vick’s preseason basically done
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Michael Vick completed of 5 of 10 passes for 44 yards and a touchdown and ran four times for 30 yards in Thursday’s victory over Jacksonville. That brought his preseason totals to 17-of-29 for 191 yards and two touchdowns and six carries for 61 yards rushing in four preseason games.
Those are pretty solid numbers, with the only possible shortcoming being the absence of a few deep completions, which might not be his fault.
Besides the obvious, Vick has looked in control of the offense most of the time, showing a generalship that has allowed the Falcons to dictate much of the tempo when he’s on the field.
Since Vick probably won’t do anything more than hand the ball off three times in the preseason finale next Thursday at Miami, how do you think he’s performed thus far, and what are your expectations for the regular season?
