    This did enter my mind yesterday, or having him run the edges.. though i doubt this will be considered.

    If he's healthy..I've been thinking about this since Sunday.
    I mentioned this in another thread without even seeing this one yet.

    Why not he has played in playoff games before if we need a yard two. Cant leave any thing in the bag.

    Mike Vick will be on the inactive list, no way are they dressing 3 QB's.

    The Wildcat is run with the QB, in order for Vick to be involved, he'll need to be under center.

    Is this what you guys are suggesting?

    Steelers chances of winning on Saturday will be increased greatly the further away from the field Vick gets.

    It really wouldn't be a bad idea if D Will can't go but the fear of his fumbilitis probably outweighs the positives. Maybe 5 years ago.... I like the outside the box thinking though. Maybe it's time to give Big Money a chance to rehash his old QB days. Just one throw....could you imagine if he threw a TD, Heeeath! would be heard around the world. It's fun to dream sometimes....

    I wouldn't hate the idea of having Vick dressed on Saturday. I'm not sure how many creative plays Haley has in the playbook since Vick joined the team.

    Williams could be out or banged up. Vick can run the bill. I'm not talking all game, but maybe give Vick 4 or 5 touches.

    While it was a long long long time ago, Ben did use to be a WR. Could run the wildcat a time or two with Vick and if Ben finds himself wide open, send it his way.

    We may need a creative play or two to win this game.

    If it's not something they've practice or put in their play book throughout the season it would be idiotic to run it during a game. And even if they were to implement it during practice this week I'm still not 100% sure it would work in short notice during a game.

    Let Marvy boy come up with the dumb ass trick plays. He is usually good for one or two in a playoff game lol

    Why should this idea bring laughs ?

    I mean this would (arguably) be a brilliant idea. Using him in some way shape or form could help keep the Bengals honest, especially- if Williams is not in (or if so, playing at 100%)

    Steelers will need some creativity if they're to win against an angry rival in such a hostile environment.

    I don't even want to see him then. That's what Landry is for. I only want to see Vick on the inactive list. I can't see any positive way they could involve Vick on Saturday.

    I assume the unspoken proviso to the original question includes access to a time machine.

    Great idea.

    We could sign Tebow to play at TE while we're at it.

    No wildcat for me this week please ... If we must do it don't use Vick his legs are all but gone ...I do hope they use Todman though , not sure who he pissed off ?He is clearly the best runner behind DW...

    This thread is gonna make me have a heart attack. No trick plays! Oh gawd! Just go out there and play a smart game.

    Of course, if such a play is enacted and works to perfection, I will be overjoyed. [​IMG]

    I have nothing against Michael Vick. I'm a long time VA Tech fan and have no problem with him being on the Steelers roster. Some of the over-the-top vitriol I've seen directed towards Vick and Tomlin is quite disturbing.
