Ed Reed Going to Texans

[Andy]

La Confora confirmed it...

 

Sorry Ravens fans, that's a hard one. 

Supposedly the deal is in the 5M dollar range.

I have bad words regarding this signing. Was hoping he stayed away from the Texans and the Patriots.

[Dustin]

Doubt this keeps TY from getting behind their secondary anyway.

[Vance]

Reported anywhere from $4-6 mil...hopefully closer to $4...

why do you post these and never provide a link?

I said La Confora confirmed it. My God.

 

Are you the type of guy that would point out a grammar error in an article?

Yes....everything is going according to plan...

Texans lose Glover Quin and sign Ed Reed. That's a big step down. There, I said it.

Biscotti was wrong last night when he said He had good feelings about Ed returning to the Ravens

[PrincetonTiger]

The Ravens D will be a shell of themselves in 2013

[Fx Stryker]

Oh great. Playing him once every 2 years or so was enough.

 

Texans better get a quality QB if they want a ring though.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Figures. when pressed for the player that was toughest to play against, Luck admitted it was Reed.  Now he gets to see him 2 times a year now.  That should be film room motivation for Andrew there alone!  

[corgi]

exactly.....heh heh heh......D'oh!

Or incentive for more ints. ;)

[PrincetonTiger]

How many more years does Ed have left?

[Everyone]

I'm going to make a bold prediction-next year Luck completes over 65% of his passes and has more than 35 Tds and less than 10 ints and i think 4 of those ints come from Reed

[Dustin]

Lol Percy Harvin goes to some west coast NFC team and we get a 3 page thread. A top 5 GOAT safety goes to a division rival and everyone is all, "meh"

[James]

Good signing by the Texans. Also pretty good learning experience for Luck the next two seasons playing against Ed. I like it.

[21isSuperman]

My immediate thought is that this will be good for Luck's development.  He will now get to face Reed twice a year and that will give him the chance to go against one of the best ever who is still doing his thing and doing it well.  It'll help Luck grow

Well, if harvin was 35 nobody would care either

You know how irrational people get here though. I was expecting a "¿ZOMG HOW WE GUN PASS THE BALL NOW?" type of thing going on.

We should ask Manning, Brady, Favre, and Ray how much they let a few gray hairs disrupt their game.

Ray was pretty bad the last 2-3 years.

[Qwiz]

Ray was pretty bad the last 2-3 years.

Too lazy to look up his stats but he still got another ring though lol. Hope Reed wants two or more as well.

[John Dee]

Ed Reed will be fantastic in the locker room.     He is however 35 years old.     or so? 

 

His better days are long gone.     I'm glad Indy didn't bite.. 

[BleedingBlue]

Texans look like a complete and solid team.

Colts will need a wildcard to see post season for at least 3 years.

[southwest1]

Yes....everything is going according to plan...

Nice pick up there Vance87 & QuizBoy! DC Wade Phillips just said "Excellent!" in his Mr. Burns Simpsons cartoon voice upon hearing the joyful news of the ED Reed signing in Houston.   Your secondary just improved by 20 fold baby! Look, there's another pick! 

 

[John Dee]

Blah Blah Blah....     are you serious? 

 

I give you exhibit A.....         Matt Schaub

 

case closed.......

That's the positive outlook I like. We'll just go with the Colts not being legit playoff contenders for 5 years.

I think the Colts could definitely take the AFC South crown next year, won't be easy but it's not like it would shock the world.

Normally, I'd agree with you BB, but I wanna see what our new online does protection wise for Luck &  safety LaRon Landry intrigues me...I'm not ready to concede the AFC South Division title just yet.

Well we won the South the past two years with Schaub playing so...good luck with that. Heck if he goes down maybe we'll put Yates in again, he has a postseason win on his belt as well.

It would shock me lol

That's right Malakai432! I capitulate/surrender nothing...The Texans, back to back division winners, will be a tough adversary to overcome, but they must hit the reset button every off season just like we do. Ed is a great asset though. No question. No argument there.

You may ask the same thing here too...

Ran into a coach at AZ airport. On Reed/Texans: "The guy they lost (Quin) could do everything, hit & cover. That's not Ed. He's 20 yds deep"

[Colts_Fan12]

That's nice now we get to face him twice a year I wanted him to stay with the ravens

So now random coaches think that Quin is the best to play in the AFC or something? Heck I never heard anyone ever mention Quin's name, except to say how well he was doing at corner that year Kareem the Dream let every WR catch the Golden Snitch. I'll miss Quin but I still think having Reed is a huge upgrade for the Texan defense.
