Michael Vick before and after

                                                    http://birdsfan.com/images/vick-falcons.jpg

In August 2007, hours after Vick pleaded guilty to federal charges in the Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation, the NFL suspended him indefinitely without pay. After his release from prison, Vick was mentored by former Colts coach Tony Dungy. On August 13, 2009, Vick signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. He earned $1.6 million, of which no amount was guaranteed. The contract contained a team option for the 2010 season worth $5 million.

   Since his return Michael Vick has been putting up better career statistics then he has ever done before. Before his arrest his satus looked like this.

2001	ATL	8	2	113	50	44.2	785	6.9	2	3	62.7	31	289	9.3	1	21	113	6	5
2002	ATL	15	15	421	231	54.9	2936	7.0	16	8	81.6	113	777	6.9	8	33	206	9	6
2003	ATL	5	4	100	50	50.0	585	5.9	4	3	69.0	40	255	6.4	1	9	64	4	1
2004	ATL	15	15	321	181	56.4	2313	7.2	14	12	78.1	120	902	7.5	3	46	266	16	7
2005	ATL	15	15	387	214	55.3	2412	6.2	15	13	73.1	102	597	5.9	6	33	201	11	5
2006	ATL	16	16	388	204	52.6	2474	6.4	20	13	75.7	123	1039	8.4	2	45	303	9	3

When he came back into the nfl he did start right away. In his second year back he battled Kevin Kolb for starter but lost. But kolb got hurt in the first game and Vick took over. He proved to the coaching staff why he should remain the starter and he did. this is what his status looks like now.

2009	PHL	12	1	13	6	46.2	86	6.6	1	0	93.8	24	95	4.0	2	0	0	0	0
2010	PHL	12	12	372	233	62.6	3018	8.1	21	6	100.2	100	676	6.8	9	34	210	11	3

Micahel Vick still remained the great player he always was but, he became a better person and better player all around.

Eagles and Giants rivial

In this blog i will be doing a interview with my english teacher. I will be asking her questions about her feelings on the Giants and Eagles rivial. This will be a interview were a die heart eagles fan (me) will ask the Giants fan (ms persen) some questions.

Richard: Why do you hate the Eagles so much?
Ms. Persen: although i am a giants fan, i am first and fore most a football fan. It is not a question of hating the eagles because they lack skill it is a matter of being in the same division and threatening the chances of the giants making it to the playoffs.

Richard: Why do you like the Giants?
Ms Persen: The day that i could speak my first wordwas the day my father taught me everything he knew about football. Growing up in NY it was natural that my family were giant fans with the occasional jets fans thrown in.

Richard: Have you ever been to a Giants game.
Ms Persen: I have been too three giants games before and feel that it is not enough. i tried to go this season but we did not play any Florida teams.

Richard: why are Giants fans afraid to come to Eagles games in Philly?
Ms Persen: Afraid! ? ha! There is definately a rivalary going on there but thats what makes it fun! I do not believe any New Yorker would be afraid to go to Philadelphia.

Richard: Why cant the Giants Beat the Eagles?
Ms Persen: The giants have beat the Eagles and will again. These are two very strong teams in the same divison, the competion infierce.

Richard: Who do you think is better Desean Jackson or your whole punting team?
Ms Persen: Why do you ask? Because of one lucky, but dirty onside kick?

Richard: Did you cry when the eagles came back and won that game?
Ms Persen: I didnt cry, but i was very disappointed with my team and wonder how they could let it happen.

Richard: Why is your defense so good but yet they play like GARBAGE?
Ms Persen: Garbage? we practically retired 5 quaterbacks with the amount of sacks we had. Romo to drop a name.

Richard: Do you think you need a new head coach?
Ms Persen: I do not believe we need a new coach. coughlin calls it like he sees them. Quick with the eye and quick with the redflag!

Richard: Dont you just love to hate Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles?
Ms Persen: hate is a very strong word. i believe my beef is because they are in the same division. The Eagles are a great team and will remain a worthly obstacle for the Giants.

Review on the Philadelphia Eagles

   The philadelphia eagles finished the 2010 season with a record of 10-6. they had a average season. The eagles made it to the wild card but lost to the superbowl champs the greenbay packers. The eagles finished in the top 10 in every caterogry on offense. They were 3rd in points, 2nd in yards per game, 9th in passing yards and 5th in rushing per game.

   In week one the eagles played the greenbay packers and lost 27-20. Thats the week Michael Vick took over as starter. In week two they played the lions and won 35-32. Week three they played the jaguars and won 28-3. In week four vick got hurt and they lost to the redskins 17-12. in week five the eagles played the 49ers and won 27-24. Week six they played the falcons and won 37-17. In week seven they played the titans but lost 37-19. The eagles didnt play in week eight, they were on a bye week and gave Vick time to heal. In week 9 the eagles came off a bad lost and beat the colts 26-24. Week ten was the best game ever with a outstanding win over the redskins 59-28. In week 11 they beat the sorry giants 27-17. Week 12 they lost to the bears 31-26. Week 13 they beat the texans 34-24. Week 14 they beat the cowboys 30-27. Week 15 was the best win in eagles history with the best comeback ever beating the giants 38-31. Eagles lost to the vikings in week 16 24-14. And finally lost to dallas in week 17 14-13.

   The eagles had a ok season. It could have been better that it turned out to be. Hopefully next year the eagles get a defense to help out the outstanding offense.

Review of the return of vick in the 2010 season as starter

http://www.tsn.ca/Story/Image.aspx?path=http://images.tsn.ca/images/stories/2010/11/10/vick1_62576.jpg&width=430&height=300

   The Philadelphia Eagles had a season that was unforgettable for Michael Vick. At the beginning of the season Kevin Kolb was named the starting quarterback. But in week one verse the Green bay Packers Kevin got hurt in the 2^nd quarter. Michael Vick took over and proved why he should have been the started. From that point on Michael was the starter quarterback.

   Michael Vick led the eagles to a record of 10-6. He led them to the playoffs but lost to the Suberbowl champs the Greenbay packers. Also the eagles were ranked in the top 10 in every category on offense. He showed everyone that the eagles made the right decision in traded Donavan McNabb.

   Vick was in his final year of his contract. But the eagles put the franchise tag in him at the end of the season. They believe Vick is the right decision instead of having Kevin kolb start. I think he will help the eagles win a superbowl or two before he retires. The Philadelphia eagles are making the right decision.
