McNabb supports Eagles using Wildcat, Vick

Many people have speculated that McNabb is not going to enjoy being taken out of the game or moving to wide receiver when Vick comes in to run the Wildcat. In last week's game, he lined up at wide receiver for three of the Wildcat plays and was taken out of the game for the other three.

McNabb reiterated yesterday that moving somewhere else in the formation when Vick comes in, or even leaving the field altogether, would not be a difficult transition for him.

Story continues below.

"It's not challenging at all," McNabb said. "Other quarterbacks have done it, and there's really no problem with it. Because if you look at the whole situation, it's another opportunity for us to present pressure on the defense.

"Like I said, I may line up at receiver, tight end or running back. You never know where I may line up. But if I come out for a play, I'll be right back in the next play. I'm all for trying to confuse the defense or the defensive coordinator.

"But it's also important for the offense to be able to execute the plays to continue the drive on, continue to score, continue to put pressure on the defensive coordinator, so that they have to prepare for a so-called Wildcat or, when [Vick] comes out, they have to prepare for when we're out there as well."
