Michael Vick carries football all week to fight fumbles
Michael Vick carries football all week to fight fumbles
The issue of ball security has haunted Michael Vick this season. He's taking extreme measures in an attempt to fix the problem. According to NFL.com and NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabawala, Vick carried a football with him all week at Philadelphia Eagles facilities, tucking it under his arm at breakfast, in meetings, anywhere a teammate could attempt to knock it loose. Did anyone force a fumble in the cafeteria or elsewhere? "They tried," he said. Vick has eight fumbles -- five of them lost -- in five games. Ball security can be as mental as it is physical, and Vick certainly seems to be fighting it right now. "Not to put too much emphasis on it, but to continuously remind myself that I have to take care of the football," Vick said. "You want to go out there and make it happen." Carrying a football everywhere might sound like something a junior-varsity quarterback would do in the hallways, but give Vick points for effort.

W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Re: Michael Vick carries football all week to fight fumbles
Hey, that's a good training regimen ... I think I saw them do that on "Remember The Titans" ... helped Petey hold onto a fumble recovery at the end of the movie to win the championship game ... I wonder if they're setting Vick up for some sort of inspirational football movie ... hmmm.

Re: Michael Vick carries football all week to fight fumbles
Only problem, Vick is a QB, not a RB. He's going to hold on to the ball on his throwing hand as long as he's behind the LOS. As soon as he tucks it in behind the LOS...

Someone saw The Program.
