Don't expect him to suddenly slide as an act of safety, either. Eagles coach Chip Kelly said Tuesday that Vick's blocking was not by design. He will instruct Vick not to block in those situations. "We're going to constantly coach it, emphasize it with him," Kelly said. "There's a lot of things I saw out of Mike that we've emphasized since I got here that we're happy with, other things we're still working on, other things he needs to work on." But sliding is one area in which Kelly conceded that Vick will not change. Vick dives headfirst instead of sliding. Sometimes, that exposes him to hits. But he struggles sliding.
