Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg says Michael Vick is having a terrific camp, but tells The Philadelphia Inquirer that the quarterback's pocket presence is an area that needs to keep improving. Vick went 3-for-4 for just 6 yards passing in the preseason game against Pittsburgh, and Mornhinweg says Vick moved himself into a sack on a play that appeared to be well protected.

Analysis: Vick is one of the most exciting -- and frustrating -- players in fantasy football. There are weeks when he racks up the points and others when injuries and inconsistency let owners down. Even in a limited number of plays against the Steelers, Vick took a sack and banged his left thumb on his center's helmet. There are weeks when Vick will be a great fantasy play, but anyone drafting him should have an above-average backup.
