Quarterback Michael Vick earned a trip to the Pro Bowl this season, but doesn't seem satisfied with the direction the Atlanta Falcons' offense is headed.

"I'm a little lost right now," Vick told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution following a recent practice in Hawaii.

Vick believes his team's version of the West Coast offense may not be as effective as others.

"My perception of the West Coast thing is starting to change too," he told the paper. "We're not doing what I see Seattle doing or San Francisco doing or Green Bay doing. We're not doing those things. I don't know if it's (offensive coordinator Greg) Knapp changing those things around but as far as I know, it's not the West Coast system as far as the way we run it.

"We're not dinking and dunking the way it's supposed to be done. It may be hurting me. It may be hurting the offense."

Vick also spoke about his younger brother Marcus, who is eligible for April's NFL draft after being dismissed from the football team at Virginia Tech for problems both on and off the field.

"My brother is not a bad person," Vick told the Journal-Constitution. "The best thing for Marc now is leaving college, getting away from a bunch of people he was around every day. Now he'll have a chance to play in the NFL and have somebody who can be there with him and can guide him in the right direction."
