Reed's post game comments to Wayne

Recommended Posts

I was watching NFLN and the were talking about a post game interaction between Ed Reed and Reggie. According to them Reed said, "Luck was effective all day at looking me off. He's going to be a great one." Wow. That's a compliment from one of the best safeties to ever play this game. Yes we lost, but that's a great note to go forward on.

Yes it is.  Not shocking since Wayne and Reed used to be old college roommates as well as teammates (Reed once killed Wayne's pet snake by mistake).  They are good friends.  It's funny as much as the city of Baltimore might not like Indianapolis over the whole Colts thing there are a lot of close ties between the coaches and players rather it be Caldwell or Pagano, Redding and Zibs, or Wayne and Reed, or John Harbaugh's brother being a former QB for the Colts and his brother in law leading the IU basketball team there are just a lot relationships there.

It was worth it for us to make the playoffs so our offensive rookies could play against a team with those football-smart veterans on defense..

....They may never see a team with that much experience...again....

That tape (and the experience on the road) could be invaluable in the off-season...

Luck had a very good game...he def out performed the other rookies playing yesterday...but his receivers simply weren't catching VERY well thrown balls....

 

Plus all the time he spent on his back. I'd love to see how formidable he could be with a good O-line, good running game and his throwing ability.

I heard that too, was surprised but glad to hear that coming from Reed.  But he's right, just give Luck a decenlt O-line, and he will work wonders !!!

Why were you surprised? Anybody with a lick of sense could see Luck played excellent

I would love to see Ed Reed retire with a ring. As long as he's been playing, Ifeel like he deserves one more than any other player in the playoffs. All this talk about how people want to see Manning get another ring, he has a ring. Rodgers has a ring, Brady has 3 rings. Ed Reed has NONE, and he's easily a first ballot hall of famer in my book. If anyone deserves a ring of the teams left, give it to this man.

Maybe we can get our participation ribbons too.

Yea hhe did something along the lines of "Luck knows wheres he's going with the football but is scanning and then going there". Sound's like he is finally breaking that stair  reciever down habit.

Just because that was repeated on this board doesn't mean it was true

You're right. Maybe making the playoffs was a bad thing. Especially, considering how last season and the past offseason went. I'm sorry if I came off as too grateful for having a team to support when 20 others were sitting at home.

Yeah I think Luck's flaws; stares down receivers, holds on to the ball to long, can't throw the long ball, while true in many instances, were a tad overstated on these boards at times.

I heard that, I was happy he came out and said that. The only one I dont care for on that Ravens' D is Bernard Pollard, everyone probably knows why. :) He is probably universal enemy No.1 for most offensive units.

Can't hate a guy for hitting hard and playing the ball.

haha.  Okay, okay - sure you can.  You can hate him for being on the opposing team, and helping to stop your team from winning (don't mean that in a snide way) - but you can't hate him for the way he plays :)

 

Sure you can, if it's deserved.  I'm not saying that it is or is not deserved in Pollard's case.  Haven't paid too much attention to him.  Now Cortland Finnegan on the other hand, I can't stand him.  He's a punk and it's specifically for the way he plays that I hate him.

...we call BP (Bernard Pollard) "the Enforcer," cause he lowers da' boom on anyone who dares come into the secondary! Next up....Denver. If people think they're just gonna roll over top of us, they don't know the Ravens!

 

P.S.

 

Andrew Luck is gonna be a force to be reckoned with as time passes.  Hopefully he won't turn out to be another Peyton Manning in the works.  We (da Ravens) don't need to face two of them dudes during the season! (lol)

    • his reaction to 5, but specifically 6 qbs going through 15 tells me they have 8 or 9 guys they consider premium players.  go back to 2018 draft and he identified premium players as game changing, teams game planning against through the week players. And identified 8 non qb players that year, obviously Q being one of them. I think about those comments a lot, especially when he traded away for Buck. I say there is 8- possibly 9 premium non qb players on the colts board. If one is there at 15, that’s who they take. If not, you can bet it’s a trade back.   
    • good interview with Rich Eisen today.     Talks about fantasy world of getting Harrison.      
    • Do u ever get there is any sense of urgency with Ballard when he speaks bout the team? I hear a lot of I think they should. He just comes across like a guy who feels that he is safe as long as Irsay is the owner. Smooth talker, I guess, and I tire of the soft ball questions from the media. Your team was like at the bottom of the league and that was against horrendous qb play.  Your 2nd round pick corner couldn't stay healthy. Your other corners are late round picks and one coming back from serious injury. I know it's a presser and he can't give it away but man, you would think his defense is just peachy. I honestly think this D needs so much work both schematically and on the talent side. I do think listening to him, he will trade back. I think that the guys that he really covets will be gone or way too expensive. The  top 3 wrs will be gone as will be Bowers. Mitchell is probably not his guy the Dends will go fast. There might be a guy at say 12 but I think he won't pill the trigger and say give  up a 2nd or 3r rounder. 
    • I see most of this forum is fine with Ballard doing what Ballard's always done.   So I'll just remind everybody that he is 54-60-1 and he doesn't have the QB excuse anymore. If he thinks that playing conservative with trading back for more picks and the cap are always the way to go, then I just hope the fan base, and Irsay especially, make no excuses for how those picks work out (and how the top prospects that he didn't make moves for worked out). It's going to be incredibly easy to compare how his strategy works vs what the Texans and Jags have done in FA this year, and it'll be very easy to follow how MHJ,Nabers,Odunze and Bowers perform.
