Best Safety in the biz - Ed Reed

[gdm921]

THEY FUCKED UP BY NOT PUTTNG B DAWKINS

[jessran70]

No he isn't. He leads Troy in one category and as he doesnt play the run and nothing but the pass that is hardly a major shock. Troy leads him everywhere else. In fact where is Reed's big playoff signature moment? That is right he doesnt have one. Troy does V Ravens an int/td to take his team to a Sb and v Broncos at least 3 or 4 amazing plays to help do the same. Reed? Crickets, nada, zilch.

[TheGhostWhoWalks23]

@jessran70 What Ed Reed are you talking about?

Comb, Total, Ast, Sck, SFTY, PDef, Int, Yds, Lng, TDs, FF

ED - 547, 455, 92, 6.0, 1, 94, 57, 1,463, 107, 6, 11

Troy - 606, 457,149, 9.0, 0, 85, 29, 361, 49, 2, 8

@jessran70 Be real, Troy is not the reason the Steelers won 2 SBs since 2000. Troy isn't an Antrel Rolle or Ed Reed type, where you can let him cover a WR, he's a box safety that does a lot of tackling and is better against the run. Ed Reed is better at forcing turnovers and better in pass coverage. Troy is better at tackling and forcing pressure.

@jessran70 shut the fuck up the only thing troy lead ed in is tackles

[steveoxx1991]

@jessran70 shut up the only thing troy lead ed in is tackles

[Thebirdgang20]

Ed reed is the best safety in NFL history! Troy isn't even a top 3 of all time. How on earth could anyone say Troy is the best safety when he can't cover worth shit, he gets run the fuck over so many times. He misses so many tackles. He isn't even a hall of famer if he retired today!

[caveman9301969]

Reed is a hawk but that a CB job hes job is to hit and tackle neither one of those qualities he has. Now Darren Woodson, Ronnie Lott now those guys brought excitement to that position any one can play zone a make a pic on a ball all day just dont ask him to tackle though hoohoohooo

[MrJeckel]

@caveman9301969 ed reed's job is to cover the damn secondary. Thats his job. ed reed prior to contrary belief can hit... he already has 2 FF's this year maybe even 3. However... he has saved many plays from being TD's by hitting. Ed reed covers the backfield like the greats. Thats what safeties are supposed to do. Im sure that ed hasn't whiffed on as much tackles as polamalu this year so thats all i have to say. when he is presented the opportunity to tackle he makes it.

[caveman9301969]

@MrJeckel Ed is aight (alright) Lott was a total beast for someone to get his tip of his finger cut of because he still wanted to play in the game against Dallas. He is the imbodiment of the position when metioning safeties thats all im sayn. The game of football is changed especially on defense either way Reed is definitly a good player in todays game but not history ( im just sayn) .

[letsgoblues96]

I love Ed reed but anyone else who also thinks that he's become really bad at tackling?

[jamesb217]

no troy is the best ed dont evan come close

[mexicano4lyfe13]

@jamesb217 haha funny when troy gets more than a 108 yd interception return and more then 40 sumthing interceptions than u can argue whos better

[CheesiestCheesehead]

i knew they had betta put nick collins top 5 if not top 3..GO PACK!!1

[sirenskate98]

polamolu doesnt even compare to ed reed............ed reed=best safety of all time

[TheZachster1]

without a doubt, the hardest position to play

[crono916]

@TheZachster1 Get off the crack. QB is the hardest to play

[apoetnameprince24]

Reed is the greatest safety of all time...there are some who hit harder....some with more picks....but none are more complete than Ed Reed

[hardhitterballhawk]

people only talk bout the jets or the eagles havin stacked up teams nowadays... but why does nobody talk bout the ravens? look at the related videos to your right... 3 #1 players in their positions. 3 of the best in the biz. thats a REAL big 3. Ravens SB champs 2011. forget the eagles.

[RAIDERS58th]

Ed Reed is the living definition of ball hawk.

[apprider55]

Eric Berry!!!!

[serenity1119]

best satie is nike colens

[Sinz327]

I think ed is the best FS and troy is the SS, they're two different positions

[caveman9301969]

ED REED REALLY! maybe right now with current NFL status but all time has to go to Lott w SF or w the Raiders. and last but not least 3 time super bowl champion Darren Woodson by far the best !

[Lilart1981]

@caveman9301969 I'm a Cowboys fan & i loved Darren Woodson but COME ON NOW!

I do appreciate your biased opinion secretly though!!!

[90FirstGenPGT]

i agree with woodsons list

[ThePoWerofthefitz2]

its 20 sacks 20 ints 10th person lol

[Brucer203]

troy over ed period



[youngkurt]

I'd pick Ed Reed over Troy P anyday. Troy is a linebacker playing safety. Reed has the hands and athletic ability of a wide receiver.

[TOEBOY813]

Darren Sharper No Longer Starts!

[adrianbaxter1807]

10 games, 8 picks in 2010. He doesn't have the pass rush that Polamolu does

[TheRoflcopter3000]

@adrianbaxter1807 yeah but that hairy fucker doesnt have the coverage ed reed does

[MrJacksonvs]

Im a ravens fan and love Ed but why in the hell is brian dawkins not on this list.

[mkdave23]

Adrian Wilson has 20 TDs? What?

[KMAC3097]

ed reed the ball hawk i just hope he gets healthy next year so he can be like he was in 08 and then we goen 2 indi next year

[jackybarapat101]

Ed Reed is just incredible

[iTAKEOVER9]

@Steelersrock1190 Ed reed has a bad hip injury , and polamalu is very healthy this 2010 season.Ed reed 3 picks in 2 games , troy 2 picks in 7 games cmon man why would u ask dat question

[SteelersRock1190]

"Troy Polamalu is the MOST COMPLETE SAFETY"

Then why in God's name would you put him at number 2?

[ArchieBunker11]

@SteelersRock1190 nothin wrong with number 2 behind ed reed man, reed has 30 more picks, more tds..hes a little more instinctive in my eyes. but polly is great too...how about jets vs pats ravens vs steelers this saturday? cant fuckin wait

[sharplikeaknife]

@SteelersRock1190

he means that polamalu can do the most as a safety, but ed reed has mastered coverage and tackling. If you watch polamalu, he can tackle, go for a sack, and cover. Ed REed mastered coverage so thats why he gets more interceptions. Kill yourself fag bag.

[MaliciousIntent83]

@sharplikeaknife They play two different positions. Ed's a free safety, Troy plays strong.

[ballinmanz]

@SteelersRock1190 that dosent ,mean he the best troy cant cover but he gets sack would you rather have a sack or a int?

[wildLIFE69]

@ballinmanz i wuld rather get the int bcuz he will 9 out of 10 score with the ball in his hands ravens fan, f the steelers altho i do respect polamalu. he just isnt better than ed he is 2nd

[Sinz327]

@ballinmanz UHH interception

[wowthatwasloud]

? this is old

[Ravensfan213]

REED!!!!!!!!! soon to be BEST OF ALL-TIME!!

[ImClearlyCanadian]

Not just Bob Sanders, Wheres Antoine Bethea?

[ArchieBunker11]

@ImClearlyCanadian what about bob sanders? he cant play a full game, and he cant cover fuck all..and bethea is a timid hitter and average in zone coverage. are they good yes..top 5? fuck no

[koolsipy]

Wat about bob sanders

[chitownbulls694]

sounds about right
