Good friend lives in Baltimore and told me when we signed him that he hasn't been a good tackler for two seasons before this one when compared to his earlier career. I will take mediocre tackler and BALL HAWK. If we just needed a safety to lay the wood but not cover we never would have gotten rid of BERNARD KOTRELL POLLARD
It really is doom and gloom around here. We all know championships aren't won in week 3. Step back from the ledge, guys.
Ed Reed's first game back. Flacco didnt throw his way. He was on a play count. Relax guys. He's going to be fine. Jonathan Joseph and Kareem jackson on the other hand,
Joseph got burned once. Other than that he played very well. Jackson gave up two PI's, one of which was terrible, and the other was questionable as nobody was catching that ball. Defense is 2nd in YPG via Passing. Look for something else to blame. Not everyone is Revis.
Will call it rust and age. Reed hasnt been a good tackler for a while already. Then on top of yhat he is only had a few practices and 1 game back from hip surgery. Tackling does require hip and lower body power, if its sore and favored can see how itd result in weaker tackling. As long as it doesnt affect his awareness and coverage range. Jury's out on that, its where the age issue comes in.
I can't believe everyone is so upset about ed reed. he won't be here next season, it was a small risk. the Texans couldn't sign many free agents, no cap space. that is why this season doesn't bother at all. the Texans missed there window, but they aren't in cap hell. they will have to rebuild some in their roster like right side of the line, it will take more time
A lot of it has to do with letting Glover walk, not even making an offer according to his agent, and signing Reed in his place. I'm pretty sure Glover is making less money than Reed is too. Reed was signed for "veteran leadership" and Playoff/SB experience for a team that's not going to make the playoffs. What a waste. Quin has 2 INT's, 5 passes defended, and 23 tackles this season. Ed Reed has 12 tackles. 0 INT, O PD. It just looks worse when you compare his production to the player we let walk.
