Over the last 2 years Michael Vick has taken a lot of heat for holding the ball too long. He’s hearing that criticism now and isn’t happy.
“Listen, whoever’s saying I’m holding the ball too long, they don’t know anything about football,” Vick said later. “They need to go watch the film. I’m gonna post some film up for y’all and I’m gonna have a clicker right here. And we’re gonna go through every play so I can break it down, verbatim, play for play for you.”
That’s a bit over the top from Mike. There are plays when he holds the ball too long. I do think some plays are by design so in those cases it is what he’s supposed to do.
As for watching tape with him…I’d love that. I don’t know that Mike would be prepared for how smart some fans/media are these days. My guess is that he’d be shocked at some of the things that people noted.
Vick needs to let some of the critical comments roll off his back and just let the haters hate, while he focuses on playing QB – he’s having a good season so far.
I suspect many would be shocked at the depth and profundity of Vick’s understanding, too.
