do it. I honestly can''t do it."
Reeves obviously feels different. He gave a totally unsolicited assessment of Vick''s recovery after being asked a general question about how the Falcons are holding up during a six-game losing streak.
"Mike needs to get back as soon as he possibly can," Reeves said Wednesday. "He talks about how he shouldn''t come back, but I think he realizes, too, that you''ve got a small window of opportunity, and he''s not getting better sitting on the sidelines."
Vick broke his right leg in an Aug. 16 exhibition game. At the time, doctors projected the recovery time at six to ten weeks. Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb returned from a similar injury in a day short of eight weeks -- coincidentally, in time to lead the Eagles to a playoff victory over Vick and the Falcons last January.
If Vick doesn''t play until Dec. 7, his rehab will have lasted 16 weeks.
Second-stringer Doug Johnson started the first six games, but he was benched after throwing 10 interceptions. Third-stringer Kurt Kittner started the last game, a lopsided loss to New Orleans, and will apparently start again against Philadelphia.
As for Vick, Reeves said, "If he''s going to be better, it''s going to be getting in ballgames and not watching Kurt and Doug playing. It isn''t the same."
Reeves originally was told Vick would be out for six to eight weeks. Just to be on the conservative side, he figured his quarterback could be out as long as 10 weeks.
Under that scenario, Vick would have been ready to go Sunday.
"He wants to get back out there as quick as he can," Reeves said. "We''re about 10 weeks into it, and hopefully he''s close to being ready."
Vick began running in a straight line on Monday without much problem, but found the leg was still too painful to do any change of direction -- critical to the running ability that separates him from other QBs.
Vick figures he''ll be able to resume practicing in two or three weeks, and he''d like to have at least two weeks of practice time before playing
