That and maybe playing with reed at the other safety helped some.

I would think so. That's one of the reasons I wouldn't mind seeing Reed here. Not to help Manning, but if we draft a young safety that can learn from Reed.

For the right $$, though.

...as a follow-up query, if the manage to sign Reed, does this mean that the F.O. has blown their wad for this F/A season? That would be premature something or other...

I don't know about you, but I'd feel satisfied. My world would be rocked. I'd probably need a cigarette.

I guess you're just insatiable.

Nothing wrong with Reed for the right price.

But with a good CB, SS, and solid No. 2 CB, it seems kind of like a luxury signing. NT and OLB seem to be bigger holes, and WR seems to be slated for the first round of the draft.

Victor Bulter, former Dallas OLB/DE, would have been a great pick up for the Texans IMO, but I think he's gone.

Everything points toward Ed Reed getting something done within next 24 hours. Finalizing anything tonight is unlikely

Hearing Ed Reed is highly impressed with Texans sales pitch and they are making a strong bid. They're known as good recruiters, closers

Smokescreen for "I need to call Baltimore first before we make any decisions".

He's as good as gone, folks.

If only you knew what I do you'd jump for joy right now. I'll just say that I hope you like Ed Reed, Bernard Pollard and Eric Winston. There's going to be a trifecta signing going down tomorrow. I think the Texans are positioning themselves nicely well before the draft. Enjoy the evening guys. Let's call it a Friday of champions here in Houston!

If you DO work for the Texans then you should be immediately fired.

Except the entire Ravens defense is leaving with him. Cary Williams, Paul Kruger, Rey Lewis, Bernard Pollard & Dannell Ellerbe are all gone from the Ravens defense.

Huh? there is not a starting level FS on the roster.

Anyway, Victor butler is still available and was a pick when Wade was still in Dallas.

The only thing that makes me question this is Pollard. He was terrible for the Texans in 2010 and would have to accept a backup role here since Manning & Reed are better.

You might end up being the only person who gets this correct!

Oh man, what a waste of Internet ink if he used us to get a better deal somewhere else. LOL!

Hold on a sec, are you saying that you have information that we're signing all three of those guys??? How the hell we gonna' sign two FA safeties when we already have one named Danieal Manning? How we had cap space to sign those three guys?

Or are you just clowning? Cuz you said "If only you knew what I do....you'd jump for joy right now." What does that mean?

Don't completely agree.
Bad in coverage? Yes.
Good in run support? Yes.

I liked his intensity. We needed it at the time. Needed it again when Cush got sidelined.

Bulls better not be wrong:rake: about this.

He best not be fooling around; we have "methods" for posters that lead us astray...
:cutthroat:
 
Pollard would be perfect as the third safety we bring in to play up in the box. Leave Reed and manning deep, let pollard play that semi-lb role.

Oooh... I like that.
Bet Wade does too.
Pollard doesn't have to cover. He can go head-hunting for QBs.
Reed doesn't have to play run support. He can gather up all the balls frightened QB launch in panic.

okay, Obs... sloooow down

I just don't see it. How the hell are we going to free up enough space to sign two guys off a Super Bowl win, AND the guy we kicked to the curb last year who has got to have a pretty strong grudge against us? Plus, two of those three guys play *drum roll please* SAFETY! We're going to spend cap space on adding two safeties and Eric Winston? LOL. No way that happens. None.

Eh, I don't know. I think he'd be a better option for covering the damn Patriots and Broncos' TEs they like to run at LBs. Face it, that situation is what ate our lunches against the Patriots. TWICE. We couldn't cover the seam routes that the TE or the little runt Welker always ran against us on 3rd down. And we're going to face those same match ups again if we don't do something,,,,Pollard is a guy who can stick with them AND hit like a Mack truck on a quick twitch, perfect for those timing routes where he can tee off on a TE or slot WR.

Quite true. I will definitely be repping the guy one way or another.

He is either just a little sloppy at happy hour sometime, or he's got the info that he says he has. All debts will be collected, BOP. :pirate:

Those are the types of players pollard would be keying on. Instead of a lb on a TE or rb it'd be that in the box safety.

Incarcerated Bob is hit and miss, although he did break the Peyton Bronco stuff first. Apparently Reed really likes it here anyway. Halfway home it seems...

PLS DON'T OVERPAY RICK
 
idk who his sources are, but ibn has been money on leaking tons of things. yup he did leak the broncos/manning thing days before espn did. hes been solid all offseason.. i believe hes building a rep that what he leaks is real info. i will say he comes off very unprofessional at times..
 
IBN has actually been money this whole NFL offseason so far. He was the first to report the Mike Wallace signing and a whole bunch of others.

I know he's a hack but he's been like 90% so far this offseason.

I think he's hacking communications. There, I said it.

No way would random Joe have this much information on so many key superstars. Nobody has that much insider information via legitimate methods.

I mean, this guy is scooping the scoopers Schefter, La Canfora, Mort, etc.

IBN is hacking.
 
I do think BOP has it right that the Texans are probably reaching out to get a few other things worked out, but I think Woodson is the target and not Pollard. Woodson left San Fran without a contract and is used to working in the slot. Even when he was used as a safety last year. I think the FO has a plan to get them both here somehow.

Ed Reed is definitely staying overnight for his Texans visit, told "It's looking serious," per a source.

How do you determine which jersey to wear on game days?

I'm thinking home games are Winston. Away games are Reed. With the exception of night games, which belong to Pollard.

That's a workable time-share if I ever heard of one.

I'm assuming the Texans want Reed for his coverage skills, because in the games I watched he was pretty bad against the run.

Leigh Bodden. Dodged a bullet on that one. Injured his shoulder and played 5 games in the NFL after signing a contract for $10 million guaranteed.

Agreed, Pollard would have to be coming off the bench, unless they make him an ILB (which I could probably see) & we can't be paying him vet min to do that. No way he'd come here for vet min after only been released a day ago.

If he'd been out there for a week or so, maybe.
