While expressing surprise at Reeves'' comments, Vick said he doesn''t expect the situation to cause a rift between player and coach.
Vick said he has the support of owner Arthur Blank, who has told the quarterback to make sure he''s fully recovered before he tries to play. Blank, of course, also will decide Reeves'' fate.
Vick also suggested that his recovery has been prolonged because Reeves wants him at practice.
"I do a lot of standing on it in practice," Vick said. "I think that''s set me back, too. ... I''m trying to stay off it as much as I can."
The quarterback flatly rejected any suggestion he''s delaying his comeback because the Falcons'' season already appears hopeless. He said the team''s record is irrelevant, but he''s got to protect his future.
"The opponents don''t care about you," Vick said. "I have to care about me. This is my livelihood. I want to play for a long time."
In the past two weeks, Vick has spoken with McNabb, who acknowledged he wasn''t 100 percent when he returned for the playoffs last season. "He emphasized to me not to rush it," Vick said.
Vick tried to play with a severely sprained ankle during his sophomore year at Virginia Tech, but could barely run. Never again.
"If I go out and try to play at 80 percent, I''m not going to play like I want to play," Vick said. "I know what that feeling is like. I don''t want to feel it again."
In an article published Monday by the Sporting News, Falcons insider George Henry suggested that if nothing else, having Vick back in the lineup would open holes for the team''s other skilled players because defenses must spread out to cover receivers. His presence keeps opposing coordinators from mixing up schemes and letting linebackers and defensive backs switch off.
That said, Henry added that Vick''s return will help, but he plays only one position and the chances he''ll change the team''s fortunes are slim at best.','10/30/2003','4:00:00 AM','Thursday',445 6016,27,9,'Garcia''s Ankle Not Progressing As Expected...','San
