Ed Reed

[dirtybird10]

Good for Ed, I still hope he has a good finish to the year, but I hope it is on a tanking Jets team. I cannot root for the Jets no matter who is on their team. I cannot stand them. I hope Ed still notches some INT's for them.

[frozen joe flacco fan]

He's already had his homecoming while with the Texans, so does he get booed this time around?

Of course not! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JO_75]

Jets forum looks awfully similar to the Texans forum after they signed him last Spring.

 

I hope they are equally disappointed.

I am just laughing. Ozzie will have outsmarted two teams when it comes to Ed Reed. First, the Texans and now the Jets. Ozzie knows Reed isn't the player he used to be but for some particular reason the nobody else knows that.

[JO_75]

 

Maybe Reed is on the phone with Ray Lewis right now and they are planning to join forces in New York?

You never know 

 

 

Ok now this post has me LMAO.

[Static]

Go get them checks Ed!

 

 

Also lol at delusional Jets Fans.

[TSizzle00]

I hope Reeds homecoming is as great as the last one was. Ravens 50, Jets 3

[PurpleCityLights]

I'm just glad as a fan I still get to see him play just a little bit more this season cause after this it's over.

[Natural Born Hitters]

Hey JO, didn't your read the last line in that quote that you posted? You never know!!! lol

Rex Ryan and the Jets really like giving these old, beat up, past their prime players a last paycheck. Favre, D Mase and now Reed.

I won't be surprised to see Ed make a major impact playing for his old defensive coordinator teaming back up with Landry.

If Reed is involved in any "major impact" I wouldn't be surprised to see various ligaments spontaneously detach from his body.

 

I'm pretty sure his pads are the only thing holding his body together.

[blackbird29]

Wish Ed would have followed Ray and just retired with his ring. Now he is just hopping from team to team. Bad enough to see him in a Texans uniform but the picture I saw of him in a Jets hat did it for me. What will he wear in two months? A Bills hat? Just retire Ed.

Quality.

[Purple Nurple]

Yeah. Reed will not punish anybody anymore. He'll pull up before a big hit. We've seen it before in recent years.

Why?  For your sake?  That's ridiculous.  Keep intercepting those checks, Ed.

[Pats]

The jets? well I don't know what to say I guess that will marginally help them make the wild card but man has ed reed lucked himself out this year

If Ed Reed meets Ray Rice in the hole, it'll let us know whose really 'done'...

I'm so pleased for Reed I can't even begin to express it.

First he has been coming off surgery.  We've seen players like Revis and Maurice James Drew and Three Sticks III not look anywhere near their previous year's form. Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce have been nicked up and look at their production fall off.

 

What happened in Houston was a very weird aggregation of circumstances.  That team was a consensus pick to go Deep into the playoffs and they went into a tailspin that they can't seem to recover from.  Though sporting a Number 1 Defensive Rating, they reached the determination that Ed was part of the reason why. When they pulled him their replacement safeties faired no better than ours and began getting scorched over the top for easy TD's. Of all the errors in the NFL, getting beat over the top is the worst it gets for reasons to obvious to get into. Ed Reed is still a great center fielder. 

 

Being demoted was too much for Ed and he spoke up. He tweeted. Upon reading those tweets it was very clear they weren't going to go over well in Houston.  Houston has problems and they made Ed the scapegoat for them. This fan despises tweeting, but firmly believes there was some method in Ed's madness.  I believe he realized the Houston team was foundering and that he didn't fit as well in their scheme as he had in ours. I believe he forced Houston's hand. You could see it coming, just like the Flacco Bombs to Anquan in times gone by.

 

Many here don't believe Ed has game.  It's hard to understand how they come to that conclusion. The view here is that they are not even sincere in that.  The phenomena here has been that if management jettisons a Raven player or that player departs for a better future, that individual becomes "Persona Non Grata".  The crowd roots Against those former Ravens.  It's hard to understand, but this fan can never do that.  But then this fan is a fan of the players, not the entity.  Ed Reed is my favorite Raven of All Time.  When he goes into the Hall of Fame, I will be there.

 

That said, Ed had 4 picks last year, one a pick six and an additional pick in the Championship Game that altered field position after Harbaughs mistake in going for it again. (He has a penchant for poor decisions in that regard and we've been burned repeatedly this year the Général.)

 

Rex was our defensive coordinator and in his time Reed shined.  He knows Ed and his team is developing quickly now. For the Jets its going to come down to how careful Gino Smith is with the ball, but if Gino plays with maturity, the Jets are going to excel with Ed Reed on their team. Believe in Ed. Who has been more accurate in their assessments this year. Poes Crows, Sami 84 and a few others or the crowd around them?

 

Our Front Office wanted Reed back, but at a discount. After Ed departed, was released and cleared waivers they didn't show any interest. If the F.O. is sincerely content with our Safety Play it's viewed here as a further indictment.  If our F.O. is too vain to admit the mistake in not retaining Ed it's a heightened charge. For some time will tell, but the answer is already known here.

[bravensfan52]

4 int for Ed since no way our Oline will handle Wilkerson,Richardson, and Copules. that front 3 or 4 is beast

we watched him play and he also got cut by the texans for the same reason

[baroquenspirit]

What do Raven's fans think is Ed Reed's motivation for continuing to play? Actually, the Jets are probably a good fit for him. I wish him success. For me, he is one of those guys that has been around long enough had so much success that you tip your hat to him even if he did play for your hated rival. Good luck, Ed.

I figured Ed for a smart guy…thought he would have invested.

[wayne]

I doubt if Ed is playing for the money, I feel he is one of those Ray Lewis clone type of guys and he plays b/c the fire is still burning in him, the passion for the game. Ed still feels he has something in the tank and it cracks me up when people say he should have retired with Ray, for what? Ray came into the league like 7 years before him or something like that and it would be insane for Ed to retire at the same time Ray did considering that. One thing about the Free safety position, you have guys like Woodson ( both ), Sharper just to name a few that played well past their primes and were still effective.

 

If anyone knows how to utilize Ed, it will be Rex. He wont ask him to play a lot of man or ask him to come up in the box to stuff the run every other play, he will let him do what he does best and that's play centerfield which in turn will make his scheme even better anytime you can play Cover 1 taking away the middle of the field. I feel Ed will make a great impact with the Jets.

[Poes Crows]

Well said,

 

I think you're right.

 

Promised I wouldn't talk about him any longer, but I must mention that Reed's Raven Replacement was credited with a "pass defensed" for the overthrown ball that clanked off his hopeful hands.  Stats are not what they appear to be.
