19 Dec 10 Michael Vick Experience Is Back and It's Better Than Ever

Chris McGrath/Getty ImagesWhen I was in high schoolmy buddies and Ihadonerule when we'd play Madden.Our rule was that you couldn't be Michael Vick. You weren't allowed to beVick because no matter what your skill level was, youwere going to throw for300, runfor at least 100, and he'd account for anywhere from 5 to 8 touchdowns himself.Mike Vick put on a show this evening that would even make the virtual version of himself blush.Tonightthe Eaglespounded the Redskins 59-28, and in the process MichaelVick had the game of his life.

On the first play of scrimmage he threw an 88 yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson, and that was just the beginning of what would be the greatest episode of the Mike Vick show.Vick threw for 3 touchdowns and ran for two more...... In the first half. He is the only quarterback to ever pull this feat off. By the end of the night Mr. Vick's box score line read: 20/28 333 yards 4 touchdowns, 8 carries for 80 yards and 2 touchdowns.We've seen glimpses and pieces of what he could do earlier in the season, but tonight he gave us the whole show. Do you want to see his long ball? He threw two bombs for touchdowns tonight. Do you want to see him run? He ran for two touchdowns in that department. Well how'd he do in the rest the game? If you didn't see it then I hope someone Tivo'd it because you missed out.The evolution of Michael Vick at the quarterback position has come full circle.There was once a time whenVick would take off and run whenever he sawtrouble. Tonight he looked reluctant to run. Don't get me wrong, VickReebok Minnesota Vikings 28 Adrian Peterson Realtree camo Jersey
still ran when he needed too.The biggest difference in Vick's game is that henow uses his legs as his last resort and is relying on his arm to do most of the damage.A prime example of this came in the third quarter. The Eagles were inside the ten and about to score and on this particular play Vickdropped back and nobodywas open.Iwas sitting on the couch yelling "run, run, run, yougot it," but he didn't. Instead, Vickscrambled around, bought time,and thenfired a bullet to Jason Avant in the back of the end zone for a touchdown.

many plays that Vick picked apart Washington's defense; we'd be here all night if I tried to go through each spectacular play that he made.It appears that Vick truly has a grasp on his other worldly talents, and we all may be witnesses to something truly amazing. Today Vickfinds himselfon a Super Bowl caliber team and in the middle of a MVP race. Not bad for a guy who was in a prison cell two years ago.Go get 'em Mike Vick, don't be denied.
