Needless to say, the McNabb-led Shealges were never this deadly against us.

Can't take anything away from Vick, but as GT pointed out in another thread Vick's completion pct. was very low when we actually got pressure on him. I think the way to play him is still to bring pressure & force his read. Sure he will get away & scamble for big yards but he'll also expose the ball & take chances. Haslett had a conundrum because we're not a good pass rushing team.
A team w/a good pass rush line might be able to play cover 2 & sit back like we did, but most teams will have to send some extra pressure. I think he's become a very good qb, but that performance monday night was due more to their O overmatching us, as GT points out.
