The Facts:
The NFL lockout won't interfere with Vick's career rejuvenation, the Eagles' QB said last night. Vick said he plans to gather his receivers, including running backs, for workouts next week, probably in South Jersey.

NFL players are barred from team facilities during the lockout. "We've had a nice offseason, a little too long," Vick said. "I wish we were in the offseason conditioning [program], but hey, we've still got each other, we can do it together." Vick said it's important for Eagles players to not let their focus waver just because of the lockout. "We all hold ourselves accountable, for being responsible for the success of this organization," Vick said. As Daily News staffer Les Bowen notes, there is considerable speculation holds that Vick, in particular, is missing out on a chance to build on his unexpected 2010 success, to work on problems that developed during the second half of a seasons. Vick said he doesn't feel that is the case. "I don't think it's hindering my development; I have almost every game plan from last year," Vick said. "I play the game of football in my mind each and every day. I watch a lot of film. I replay plays in my mind, mistakes that I made. ..." All of which suggests something that become apparent last season: Vick's focus is on the field of play rather than elsewhere.
