Vick will attend Week One game as spectator

Posted by Mike Florio on September 9, 2009 4:35 PM ET

When the Eagles played their first preseason game with Mike Vick on the roster, we reported that Vick wasn't taken to Indianapolis because the team didn't want to expose Vick to a potentially hostile reaction in another team's venue.

We were shouted down by folks who claimed that Vick was staying home simply because it's coach Andy Reid's longstanding policy to not bring to road games players who aren't eligible to play in the game.

So, of course, for the team's first regular-season road game, Vick will be traveling to Carolina, despite the fact that he's not allowed to play in the game. And despite Reid's hard and fast, no exceptions rule.

"Michael will travel this week," coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. "Michael will travel."

Since he's suspended for the first two games of the season, Vick won't be permitted to join the team on the sidelines.

In our view, Vick is making the trip to Charlotte primarily because the reaction to him hasn't been nearly as negative as many thought it would be. And if the Eagles believed in August that the reaction to him wouldn't have been negative in Indianapolis, Vick would have been there, too.

Regardless of Reid's rule.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. flame away

No one in the stadium will even see him, and neither will anyone at home, unless they put him on TV in whichever box he's sitting in.

you better believe that cameras are going to be on the look out for him and when he is it's gonna show up on the screen.

someone is going to find him.

in olden times you would just look for the only guy in the owners box wearing a doo rag, but apparently he's changed his ways.

I'm really happy they've let him back in the leauge and given him a second chance, i really hope the fans find him and give him a good heckling (hopefully they're not led out of the stadium!).

    • I love paying guys who prove themselves coming into their prime.  Also, it very easy to structure a 4 years deal with 15 guaranteed to be very team friendly and good for both sides.  It's pretty much 12-15th ranked RB money.  We also traded around in that round and got an extra 2nd rounder next year and still got Brooks, who I might add would have been an easy first round pick had it not been for the injury.  It's still all educated guesses but you've adding some cover you ass insurance with these moves in case of injury or just being wrong about a guys talent.  Longer seasons.  You had in all these factors together and this is exactly the kind of move very smart GM's make.  I forgot to add how much Canales uses RB's in his system in the run and pass games.    Chubba is currently tied with Legette for 2nd on the team in receptions.  He is one behind Sanders for 3rd in targets. Canales also loves efficiency and his 5 ypc are elite. And that isn't to say about the guy as a teammate and team leader.  That's worth money too. ESPECIALLY, when you are a bad team and you're a new coach trying to build a new culture. Hell, man could be the lynch pin to this team's chemistry.  Unless Dave and Dan make some extremely stupid move they deserve to build this team like they think is best.   Keep pounding.
    • I like the thinking but have to ask, you think he had those notarized in anticipation?  Okay kidding but if Tepper is as involved as people think he would know who Morgan liked.  Also, if Tepper would have been happy with everything Morgan had done in cahoots with Fitterer, well he already had it and fired it. So I think there has to be some divergence from Fitterer somewhere in the timeline, or he wouldn't be here. 
    • ^and I mean the way we been playing. The way that we should be.
