Ed Reed was like having two players on the field at once.
I would give up Weddle and Jefferson and play with 10, to have Ed reed in his prime. Lol

Ed Reed was one of a kind and certain first ballot HOF inductee. He was a master at reading quarterbacks. So often he made the big play to change the game in our favor. It was a thrill to watch Ed once he got the ball in his hands knowing there was a good chance he would score. He was also one the best punt blockers I ever saw, not only blocking the punt but recovering it and taking it to the end zone.
We are so fortunate he was a Raven!
And Palumalu didn’t make the final 15. Something else the Steelers can get pissed about.

I didn't think he was eligible until next year. That has to be the case, because for him to not make the 15 finalists would be insane. I honestly expect both he and Ed to be first ballot.And Palumalu didn’t make the final 15. Something else the Steelers can get pissed about.
Ed HAS to be first ballot. He's a no brainer for HOF, but I think his talents were special enough to make him a first ballot and anything less will leave me miffed. IMO, if you are the best at your position for a generation, I think that automatically puts you into the conversation as a first ballot.
I always liked the fact that I think you can categorize Ed as FS and Troy as SS and therefore avoid the argument of who was better.
Ray was who Ray was ... but whenever pressed to for an answer to "who is your all-time favorite Raven", my answer has always been Ed.

Not even close.With that being said - Ed was better.
No argument here ... but they were very different players, so it is really like comparing two different positions (even though I know people who believe categorizing FS vs SS is an antiquated concept)With that being said - Ed was better.
I just imagined the secondary with Ed and Polamalu back there.
Bro this is a family websiteDid you have a box of tissues nearby or nah?
I'll prepare one for the Chargers game but for the whole different purpose - there will be tears coming down watching Weddle/Jefferson instead.Did you have a box of tissues nearby or nah?
for some reason I thought they retired the same year.I didn't think he was eligible until next year. That has to be the case, because for him to not make the 15 finalists would be insane. I honestly expect both he and Ed to be first ballot.
Just saw that. Feels like we never lose when Ray was honored. Hopefully the same goes for Ed.Ed Reed will be honorary game captain on Sunday.
