Former NFL head coach Denny Green went on Sirius radio earlier this week and said that he has a hard time believing that suspended quarterback Michael Vick won’t wind up with Bill Parcells in Miami.
“I have a hard time believing that Michael Vick is not going to wind up with Bill Parcells, simply because [Parcells] has that creativeness that says no matter what it takes, he’s going to find a way to get Michael Vick. Now, whether it means convincing the commissioner or whatever it takes, Michael Vick is probably going to wind up at Miami because of the fact Bill Parcells is Bill Parcells.”
Yikes. It seems like with these comments, Green is just picking up a stone and tossing it as far as he can in hopes to hit water and make a splash. Not to discredit a man that has more NFL experience in one day than I will ever have in a lifetime, but there’s no way anyone should buy into what Green is saying. In fact, I fully believe that once Parcells catches wind of Green’s comments he’ll shoot down the idea of ever pursuing Vick.
Yes, Vick would be a nice fit in Miami’s “Wildcat” formation. But last time I checked, the NFL still only uses one football during a given game and the Fins already have Ronnie Brown and Pat White (whom they selected in the second round of April’s draft specifically for their “Wildcat” offense) on the roster. Why sign Vick and create a massive media circus for your team when you already have the players to run the scheme that best fits Vick? It doesn’t make a lot of sense and even for as creative as Parcells may be, he’s not stupid.
Again, this just seems like Green’s attempt to make something out of nothing. Had Miami not taken White in the second round of this year’s draft, maybe Parcells would be more inclined to sign Vick. But considering they already have the players for the “Wildcat” and Parcells might not be there in a year anyway, I highly doubt he would sign the dog fighter.
