Chuck Pagano coached Texans' Ed Reed while defensive coordinator & secondary coach with the Ravens. Could have inside info like...he's old

He was brought here to help tutor younger players and make an impact in the playoffs, so I'd like to see him wearing a ball cap and toting a clipboard. His mind may be able to still make plays, but his body just isn't. He could make a huge impact by mentoring our young players and teaching them what it takes to be a HoF'er in this league.

Ed was never a big hit machine or a cover type safety. He made his mark by playing centerfield and knowing what an offense's tendencies are. He's an instinctive, reactive player whose body just can't react quickly enough anymore. He needs to be on the sidelines. The only big plays he's going to make will be for the other team.

Disagree- when drafted, Ed was a hit machine here in Baltimore; his athleticism led him to Interceptions early in his career; after learning film Study from Ray Lewis, his preparation led him to INT's, sacks and strips. and hasn't been the same sure tackler or hit machine as he was previously.

I was sad to see him go as he should have retired a Raven, but he is done- has been since before last season. But instead of riding off, he ran for $$$$ after getting his ring. Now he looks downright pathetic. Its like watching Johnny U in Powder Blues for the Chargers.....

About 2007, he suffered the neck injury (nerve impingement)

Looks like Ed Reed has finally been demoted from his starting job, though Wade Phillips is not calling it that. He'll only be used in dime packages now. That's a good thing, except they paid $6M for a dime safety.

(now if we can just get 'lizabeth as the DB's coach we'll really
be rolling!)

Wasn't that the way he was used last week?
