    With the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback job locked up, Michael Vick revealed a surprising strategy for avoiding the injuries that have plagued him the past three years.

    He wants to run the ball more often -- and coach Chip Kelly's offense will give him that chance.

    "I will be a threat," Vick said Thursday. "I'm going to have my opportunities to do the things I like to do within this offense and to run the football. That's exciting."

    For the past couple of years, Vick attempted to be more of a pocket passer in former coach Andy Reid's offense. In Kelly's option-based offense, Vick will be able to run the ball more often.

    Of course, that means he will be subjected to more contact.

    "We have an answer for that -- 220 pounds standing right here, soaking wet," Vick said.
