Vick Holds “Player’s Only Meeting”

 

About 10 players, including Vick, spoke at the meeting. The message: There was still time for the Eagles (3-4) to salvage the season.

“We just needed to come together after that loss (to Atlanta on Sunday) and hash it out,” defensive tackle Mike Patterson said of the meeting.

Tight end Brent Celek told the Philadelphia Daily News that the meeting was called because the Eagles need “drastic changes, and we need to do it. It needs to be shown on the field.”

“I think things just need to get cleared up. Nothing major; I’m not going to really get into specifics about what we talked about, but quite a few things needed to get cleared up, and it happened, and it was good for our team,” he told the newspaper.

“I’ve got to get my swag back,” Vick said. “I got to get back to playing football the way I love to play it and not worry about what’s going to happen. That’s out of my control. All I can control is how I play and how aggressive I can be.”

“Players only meetings” are usually the death rattle before a player and or team goes down for the count.  The Eagles problems are much deeper than just Vick; No O-Line, undersized receivers, bad play calling and the newest one to surface a soft defense? Vick and the Eagles offense will probably look great against a pathetic Saints D, but I think the true measure will be how their defense responds to the Saints attack.  Get your swag back son…and if you do, make sure you pass it along to the rest of the team, cause as of right now…you aint the only problem the Eagles have.
