When Vick had his one truly shaky performance of 2010, in a 24-14 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings on a strange Tuesday night at The Linc last December, critics seized upon his ineffectiveness in the face of the Vikes’ repeated blitzes as a Kryptonite equivalent. Last month, Reid acknowledged that Vick wasn’t as proficient against the blitz as he could have been in his first year as a starter since 2006, but said the quarterback spent the offseason working on that weakness.

“Now he’s got it,” Reid insisted. “People can say there’s a way to stop Michael Vick, but this is a team sport. You’ve got this beautiful mind of Marty’s and you’ve got to deal with what he’s gonna throw at you, and there are all these other players you have to defend. You can say you’re gonna stop Michael Vick, but you’ve got to stop the whole group.”

Vick’s response: “I’ve been hearing that for years. You can’t design a defense to stop me, especially not on this team. We have so many weapons, and some teams have tried to make that their primary focus. That’s when we run up the score.”

As for the notion that defenses might try to mitigate his running ability by using a player as a spy who patrols the line of scrimmage, Vick was similarly dismissive: “I don’t even notice a spy now. The last spy I saw was versus Jacksonville last year. DeSean ran a shallow cross right past him and scored. LeShon, DeSean – those guys will beat the spy. Maybe it used to be an option before, but I’m not that guy anymore. I’m getting the ball out.”

When Vick gets the ball in Jackson’s hands, hearts start racing as rapidly as the receiver changes directions, and with good reason. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound blur averaged 22.5 yards per catch last season and, assuming he and the Eagles can work out a lucrative contract extension, has a chance to be Jerry Rice to Vick’s Steve Young for years to come.
