Welcome home MV7!!!
So now that suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has been released from prison in Leavenworth, Kansas he now heads down the road to redemption.
Before any talks of playing football can Officially begin, Vick must finish the final two months of his 23-month federal sentence on dog fighting charges under house arrest in Hampton, Virginia. As part of his probation, Vick will work for a construction company earning $10.00 an hour.
It’s kind of funny that in the years since Mike’s conviction the ”Wildcat” formation has become the new IN thing… I posted in this very website a couple of days again that the best way to reintroduce Vick to the game is for a team to make him their “Wildcat” QB.
Could you imagine Vick coming in for the Patriots, Seahawks, or Raiders?
Why these three teams?
Well if you remember it was last season that the Patriots gave up 5 touchdowns on six plays versus the Dolphins. Everyone know Pats coach Bill Belichick hates to lose and adding Vick to run the Wildcat behind Tom Brady would be the ultimate payback against the Dolphins.
As for the Raiders, they are built for speed. That’s the one thing Al Davis knows. The Raiders actually tried to run the Wildcat several times with RB Darren McFadden but it never really worked out.
Lastly, the Seahawks could be the ultimate destination. Under Seattle head coach Jim Mora, Vick was considered the biggest threat in the NFL. The Seattle Seahawks are going to need a QB, so why not Vick? Did I mention that his backfield would consist of two of his former RBs in Justin Griffith & T.J. Duckett? I saw Coach Mora on ESPN yesterday and when asked about Vick he had that steel look in his eyes that all Falcons’ fan remember.
The one advantage you have with Vick is that he has the ability to handle both options in the Wildcat running and throwing, plus he would give your offense a change of pace.
We can speculate all we want but the fact remains that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has the last word on when Michael Vick will return to the league. Goodell says he won’t talk to Vick about his return to the league until the legal process was over.
