Vick: 'You can't design a defense to stop me' - cooperbh - 09-02-2011 01:20 PM
Quote: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.

Hrmm...wonder what the Cleveland Browns have to say about that. I mean I know it's preseason and all but dayum dude, after getting annihilated like that you'd think it'd shut him up. I guess it literally knocked him into last week...ya know the past where he never worked hard, and was too arrogant.

I guess all the blitzing defenses from the 2nd half of last season don't count.

I'm not a fan of Vick's statements, but I think he may well have been saying you can't gameplan to stop him, because there are so many other weapons. When teams gameplan to stop only him is when they're able to run up the score.
I could be wrong, because I think he's ridiculously arrogant, but that quote may be being misinterpreted.
I think it was more along the lines of "In Atlanta maybe you could gameplan to stop me, but here, I have so much talent around me, if you try to stop me, Desean and Lesean and others will gouge you."

But hey, if your line can't protect you, you don't have to game plan too much.

Yeah, I'm not certain. I just read it that way, but he's just arrogant enough to actually say something like that, so I don't know.

His lawyers could have come up with a better defense for him.
