Former coach Dan Reeves on Vick case

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick will make his first court appearance next week to answer to federal dog fighting charges. His first coach in the NFL spoke-out on the situation Vick is dealing with.

Dan Reeves in his storied career was a player and longtime head coach in the NFL. He was the Falcons' head coach when Vick entered the league as a rookie in 2001.

Reeves says the current problems Vick is facing, is another example of what he's seen through his coaching years.

"I've seen an awful lot of talented players that never really reach their potential or play the way they could, because they had issues they did, making poor decisions..that's the thing that Mike's done a very bad job of...he's made some poor decisions about the people he's associated with".

In other Vick developments, Nike has suspended the release of their latest shoe bearing Vick's name. Also, Falcons' owner Arthur Blank released a statement Thursday, saying the team is exploring its options concerning Vick.
