If the run game becomes an issue this game, why not make Vick run some. Hell we all know he's fast and we can do some slash **** with him. I do not expect us to need this because I think the young buck will be more than serviceable but just a thought..... discuss.
 
He won't even be active so I really don't think it is an option. THANK GOD!!!!!!
 
I think if they practiced using Will Johnson as a blocking back to help open holes for Toussaint that would allow Tha O line some time to get their blocks established and the holes opened for Fitz.
 
He'll no to Vick in the backfield, I surely hope to never see him active in the NFL again...unless he wants to go play for the Ratbirds or Stains
 
Why in the world would you change what got you here. It's called HOLE. You have a hole created by injury to DW. You fill that hole 85% by subbing in Tioussant (sp). Why try to fill that hole with vick who at best is 15%. If vick went in, the defense would TEE up and B-A-D things would happen. Leave him deactivated and soon cut from the team.




Salute the nation
 
I don't hate the idea as much as others.. But I do think a lot of his athleticism is gone, unfortunately

This is why you are not the coach! We don't need Vick on the field at this point of our season. If you haven't noticed, WE ARE IN PLAYOFF MODE!!!!! No time for BS trick plays drawn up for a guy that hasn't seen any live action for almost 3 months. Go Steelers!!!!
 
But none of you are proposing to give up the 2 games he had a hand in winning are you?
 
Good idea................if you like turnovers.

That presupposes that a different QB could not have won those games. IMO, not having this buy on the team is worth the cost.

Again, if RB was only consisting of running with the ball, and occasionally making a catch, id be cool with it, but I'm not certain I want a play where vick is all what is between Burfict or Atkins and Ben's legs
 
Vick replacing any teams RB is laughable, why don't we get Jacoby back to take some reps away from AB as well why we are dwelling with the absurd
 
I think I was misunderstood, I didn't say line him up at rb. I said run some slash plays. Some wild cat. Hell if he is at rb run some hb option. I seem to remember that being a play we used to win a super bowl. If he's 100% and able to contribute, why not try some trickery IF WE NEED IT. If we do not need it then keep it in the playboy until we do. I coach hs and pop warner and there isn't that much of a difference, lmao. Anyway it's just a thought and obviously it sparked some conversation so it's obviously a hot topic .

Unless we cant move the ball at all, I don't want the ball out of Bens hands... I think the Bengals can handle the wildcat... I don't think they can consistently cover everyone in the offense
 
The big question is: do we dress him next week?

Ben is a question mark, and if he goes out I trust Mike WAY more than I trust Landry.
