He sees the holes very well because he has done it for a long time. Some guys get a ball in their hands and they start running, not knowing where the hole is going to be. Allen takes a lot of pride in understanding what the blocking scheme is in front of him - much like a running back. He can predict where the hole is going to be, and he hits it quick. |
He should be okay. He's a trooper. There is not a lot that is going to hold that guy back. |
He still looks fantastic throwing the ball. He's just got that natural rhythm, that smooth swing. You'd never know he was a 41-year old man out there throwing the ball around. He looks fantastic, |
He was Mike Vick, that's who he was. That was really impressive. |
He was pretty emotional. We just thought it was best for him to stand and watch the game from the sidelines. |
He was running and lifting. He can move his head around real well. |
He was six of nine in the second half with a touchdown and no interceptions, |
He was Vick-like on those jaunts, |
He was Vick-like on those jaunts. |
He wasn't avoiding a deer or anything like that, ... He is just sore today, so we held him out. |
He wasn't ready to play, |
He wasn't ready to play. He simply wasn't healthy enough to go out and play today. It was an easy decision. |
He wasn't ready to play. He simply wasn't healthy enough to go out and play. When a player is not ready to play, you are not going to put him out there in harm's way. |
He'll learn to keep his emotions in check. He's a competitor. I'd rather him get a little stuff going than to back down from people. It doesn't need to go to that level that it went to the other night. |
He's 25. This is his second year in this system. I think it took (Philadelphia Eagles quarterback) Donovan (McNabb) five years in his system to really reach the heights that he reached last year. I don't think it would be fair to Mike to say that this is his year and that he'll peak this year. The guy is continuing to climb. He's a ways away from his potential, but he's pretty darn good. |
