(Which, on a side note, isn't all that bad a gig for getting started--just look at Larry Fitzgerald, former Viking water boy.) If Vick will truly keep up an attitude of "I'll do whatever my team wants of me" it's at least a good first step.The Other Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568396716926764963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518999264103251377.post-54973930689266555292009-08-14T09:01:51.563-04:002009-08-14T09:01:51.563-04:00I expect him to catch some short passes from McNab...I expect him to catch some short passes from McNabb too; perhaps "out of the backfield", or lined up in the slot or something. He's a hell of a weapon for a West Coast Offense, as a runner/receiver.JimZipCodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10910763846618963025noreply@blogger.com
