NoVaSkins21 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I looked in the ATN forum and could not find a similar thread so I thought I start one here. In looking at the articles about Vick's suspension, the earliest he could be considered for full reinstatement would be week 6 for the Eagles game @ the Raiders. However, I think the Eagles will wait a week and unveil him for the Skins game on MNF. The publicity and the hype leading up to the game would be enormous. Plus divisional games on MNF are always huge and great entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 It's been mentioned, but I don't think it's been put into a thread itself. Him and that offense worry me. We don't have the speed to match him, Westbrook, Jackson, and McNabb being on the field together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Him and that offense worry me. We don't have the speed to match him, Westbrook, Jackson, and McNabb being on the field together.That kind of stuff has always been said. The Redskins don't have the X, Y, and Z to beat the A, B, and C of the Eagles, or the Cowboys, or the Giants. Yet somehow, for decades, we have almost always pulled through and if we don't win, dammit, we're competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikie Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I've heard it from numerous media sources as well... vick does worry me from a true wildcat perspective (a guy who can run and pass, who also can be used without worrying about the wear and tear of a starting QB), but I can't see him having too much of an impact in his first game back, if that is the case... though they may try and make a big gadget splash with him to appease the fans and public opinion... will be all eyes on us if that is the case though..

KingGibbs Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I have spoken to several 'skins fans and we all agree that we have never wished injury upon a player, but that has now changed. Hopefully, they put him in as a receiver and he gets introduced to Landry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying it's bad enough with all the speed that they have now. The addition of Vick does cause me concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedsuperstar Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Why worry about Vick? He is not in game shape. If he plays, all he can do is run. That entire team is a joke. Lurie and his BS press conference was a complete joke. And McNabb? What a fool. Do you really think Vick just wants to be a wildcat QB? Come on!!

BigMike21 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Vick was given a "conditional" suspenstion meaning Goodell can reinstate him early if he is good. I expect him activated in Week 3. I say to myself that this signing doesn't mean anything but I remember when he came here and single handedly beat us at Fedex during the regular season. Got kicked out of the cigar bar during that one hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Goodell could play it either way... He could get a call from ESPN begging for this to be Vick's first game back to be the Monday Nighter against Washington. A prime time NFC East battle, they will claim it to be a great middle of the season headline, like the NFL needs more drama or intrigue for a game but the Monday Nighter has lost some of its luster in today's age of Sunday Ticket. OR, he could play the other way and say, he doesn't want a Monday Nighter to be the firestorm for PETA and other protesters that could lead to some nasty scenes on Prime Time. He may reinstate him early to get some of that stuff to settle down. Either way, I don't envy the decison and I am not particularly afraid of Michael Vick on the field and what he will or will not give the Eagles this year.

polywog999 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I don't worry about Vic, because I don't have to play. The Redskins are going to kick his *** if he ever comes under center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got kicked out of the cigar bar during that one hah. I don't remember Vick ever "single handedly" beating us. The last time we played them (2006) it was Jerious Norwood (and a Campbell interception) that beat us. Before that (2003), we faced Atlanta without Vick when he got hurt in the preseason.

Elessar78 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Nah, he's prob not sorry. But I don't really care. It might make me an awful human being, but I don't really think what he did was such a big deal. Much less deserve jail time. Yeah, a "PR" fine might've been in order.

Don't want to get into a morality debate with someone who's cursing and swearing... even in symbols. It's just time to move on. I think the world is full of high and mighty people who love to point a finger. This deflects the finger on themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
