Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin believes that Michael Vick needs to start taking care of himself on the field by sliding more.

Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin believes that the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has got to start taking care of himself when running.

The 33-year-old has struggled to remain fit for the past two seasons as he has often taken hits while moving out of the pocket with the football on the run.

Irvin told Sporting News: "It's stupid. You cannot be this stupid. You cannot be this dumb. It's impossible.

"Your [butt] has been hurt every year. Stop putting your body on the line like that. The only time you do it when John Elway did it in the Super Bowl. That's it.

"When the Super Bowl game is on the line, and it's third-and-whatever and you need that first down, you stick your head in there. Other than that, anywhere else, you slide and give it up."

Vick is currently in a two-way battle with Nick Foles for the starting quarterback job at the Eagles this season.
