Patterson says Eagles support Vick

Patterson (98) watches Jason Babin celebrate.
Eagles veteran defensive tackle Mike Patterson won't be playing football for a while because   the skull bone cut to remove an AVR, or irregular tangle of blood vessels hasn't healed sufficiently.

But Patterson has no issues with the way Michael Vick suggested the Eagles have all of the ingredients necessary to become "a dynasty.

"I support him on that," Patterson said. "I feel like he’s been in this league and he knows how it is to feel you have a good team. We all feel we have something special here and we can do something good.

"I think it’s going to be a real good thing for us. We have a really good opportunity. We’ve got a lot of good guys here. I think we can do a lot of good things here. That’s how we’re all looking at it. That’s the mindset that we have. It will be exciting to see what we can do."

Dynasty talk just Vick being 'confident'

Teammates are saying the same thing.
Michael Vick still feels the Eagles could become a dynasty.

The veteran quarterback didn’t back away from questions about what many felt were controversial remarks about the Eagles becoming a dynasty.

Vick said his teammates are with him. And he’s right as veteran defensive tackle Mike Patterson joined growing list of players having his back, one that already includes running back Shady McCoy.

“That’s just me speaking out of confidence,” Vick said upon checking into training camp at Lehigh University. “I think if you ask my teammates they’ll tell you the same thing. They feel the same way. As a quarterback it’s just how I feel. You’ve got to aim and shoot for the stars and if you miss … That’s got to be our mindset.

“But it all starts on the practice field and it all starts right now, it all starts here and that’s going out and putting in the hard work and the effort to get there.”
