So, if the zone-read worked for Tebow...

Opinions?

They need to stop playing from behind so much. They're 0-5 in games where they trailed after the 1Q. That means better defense, so there will be less pressure on Vick to play from behind, making more dangerous passes and expose himself to big hits.

He should stay at home as much as possible in the first half of games, but only if the OL can protect him.

Vick wont make it a full nfl season he softer now he has to stay in the pocket. Guy had some hard shots falcons he would pop right back up... Not now

Vick would be killer in a zone read with shady at rb though ... He just would get killed somebody on air said his true walk around is 198lbs listed 210. Mike isnt a big dude like tebow or cam newton.

but he's much faster, so that should be an advantage...

I think switching into it periodically would be very effective, but if you have him doing it too much, we're still talking about him absorbing big open field hits.

Yeah, I agree.

I'd imagine a better performance from Vick this week against Zona if they adapt their playbook a bit to have him run more than usual. it's risky but it would for sure keep the D guessing what's going to come next.
