Vick has his mojo back??

's preseason performance Friday night ran the gamut from spectacular to disastrous, but Andy Reid and Eagles fans should come away from it optimistic.

The explosive is back.

Courtesy of NFL.com's , I watched Vick display far more short area quickness than he ever did in 2009. Vick rushed four times for 45 yards in the first half, including a 10-yard score that showed off impressive moves. He had the speed to get to the edge of the defense again.

Vick's first half throwing the ball was predictably erratic. Vick dropped a gorgeous 46-yard toss in the bucket to on the backup's second snap of the game, but Vick also turned the ball over twice. He lost a fumble early on a comically poor decision, and he then threw an interception on a miscommunication with rookie .

Still, Vick showed the elusiveness that, well, eluded him last year. He flashed his old talent more on Friday night than all of last year combined.

The Eagles don't need Vick to be a true drop-back quarterback. But it sure looks like he'll be a bigger weapon as a runner/Wildcat option this year.

Oh, I thought maybe he was hunting training dogs again.

As the native Jaguars fan here I would like to point a few things out. Our defensive line is so pitiful that we weren't strong enough most times to get to the QB last year. And on those times we were strong enough, we were too slow to actually get to him and bring him down. We only produces 12 sacks as a team. So when we finally do get near a guy like Vick, all he has to do is dash two feet forward and he is going to have plenty of room before my linebackers pick him up and get near him.

He did look a lot better last night than last year but that was to be expected. Unfortunately, it was likely the worst team to make any judgment on about how explosive a QB is.

So Vick can run, but can't really throw?

Yep, I'd say he's back.

My buddy's ten year old son is a pretty quick wit, and has more football knowledge than some adults I know.

I was talking to his dad around the time the shooting news hit, and said "Ya hear Michael Vick's in trouble again?"

Buddy responded "No, what for?"

Kid piped up and said "Catfighting?"

1 for 5 for 6 yards last night, with 2 INTs for a stellar 0.0 rating. But he had 3 carries for 34 yards!!1

I saw him get run down from behind by a D lineman...

Be glad the Panthers drafted Clausen or fans would be calling for the Panthers to trade for Vick.

I saw that same play. He looked a little slow on that one.
