Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - Michael Vick wouldn't mind having Terrell Owens line up at receiver for the Atlanta Falcons ? as long as T.O. understands one thing."This is my team," Vick said Wednesday.Besides, No. 7 already has provided a resounding response to those who criticize his passing numbers and deride him as nothing more than a freak of an athlete masquerading as a quarterback.Last week, Vick completed a season-best 22-of-31 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions in a 17-10 victory at Miami.Asked if he was out to prove a point, Vick shrugged his shoulders and said, "Kind of, sort of. I just wanted to win the game. I did whatever it took to win the game. That is what it took."Vick still ranks 26th in the league in passing efficiency, working with a group of nondescript receivers led by Brian Finneran (27 receptions, two TDs).So, it was no surprise when the quarterback's weekly question-and-answer session quickly turned toward Owens, who was suspended by Philadelphia after an interview critical of the organization and teammate Donovan McNabb."I think I could play with anybody," Vick said. "It's all if they could play with me. He would have to understand my style of play and what I do. And if he can do that, he can be here. Other than that, this is my team."Even though Owens issued a public apology Tuesday, the Eagles plan to deactivate him for the rest of the season after his four-game suspension is up.Owens, of course, is eager to get back on the field. Though he has a home in Atlanta, he recently put the 18,000-square-foot spread on the market for $4.5 million, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.He would certainly be a major upgrade over the Falcons' current group of receivers.Then again, T.O. has always been a major disruption in the locker room, the kind of player who could upset the tight-knit bond that coach Jim Mora has instilled in his team."We understand that it takes 11 guys to win a football game," Vick said. "We do not have any selfish guys on the football team. That is fine with me."The Falcons' offense is built around the league's most effective running game, and that wouldn't change no matter who's at receiver. Much of the running is done by Vick, who gained nearly 1,000 yards last season and ranks second on the team this year with 340 yards."I run the ball a little bit more than other quarterbacks so, that might take away from some of his catches," Vick said, referring to Owens. "You have to be a team player when you come here."http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5071150
Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. Oh man, if they get T.O, he better learn to pass much more.
Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. I think Mora would do anything to please Vick, though; if Vick can even stand Owens in the locker room, that is. To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing this happen. I always thought that Vick could use a reliable threat at wide out (not counting savage-A** Crumpler), and this might just be his chance... Actually, if I were the Falcons, I'd wait until next season to sign him. That way you won't be the laughing stock of the league.

You have to make yourself the best team in the NFL no matter what. The Panthers should definetly NOT get T.O. because that will destroy their chemistry. Though, they should get a good wide-out in the offseason, not Owens though.
Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. You just contradicted yourself there, buddy.First you say that you should do whatever it takes, regardless of being pubicly scrutinized by each and every fan and analyst the league has ever had, but then a line later you're basically saying that Owens wouldn't make a good fit. First of all, let me just say that he is a great receiver, he just doesn't get the credit he deserves because, well, he's a moron.EDIT: Nevermind... I just realized that you switched to talking about the Panthers. By the way, Terrell would ruin any team's chemistry...
Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. I hope TO goes to the Falcons, Vick's progression would be paramount having a reciever that can actually catch.
Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. Peerless Price can catch. That didn't help Vick.Vick is a run-first quarterback. Always will be. T.O. would be crying even more in Atlanta about not getting the ball. Then he would say the Falcons would be better with McNabb, lol. The Eagles aren't going to cut him until the offseason anyway. So any team that DOES want him, will have to wait until the offseason.
Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. Price was never really that productive in the Falcons.
Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. Who actually wants T.O. on Falcons I sure as hell don't!

I think Vick would be alot better with a #1 receiver but TO will still find a way to cry about something.
Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. T.O will NEVER be the same mark my words and engrave them in Steel because of Roy Williams he really cracked up T.O's ankle good TO seems slower since the incident even almost a season after.

Re: Vick says he wouldn't mind playing with T.O. but isnt the offencive coordinator for Atlanta the same coach TO was screaming at on the sideline in San Fran?

Mora and Knapp hate TO. that's the HC and the OC against him right off the bat. Blank and McKay don't want lockerrom cancers. that's the top 4 in the chain of command that would be against him.
