    • @__Andrew
      @__Andrew 2 года назад +18

      @@Marrrrley yes, they could fumble it giving the ball back and basically nullifying what could have been a chance at a touchdown for your own team while denying points to the other team. On top of that ball handling skills when running isn't always something non offensive players have. Like holding onto the ball through a hard hit or a strip. As great as Ed ways he often ran with the ball in one hand just holding it out away from his body, making it easier to knock loose lol. And on more than a few occasions Ed did lose the ball after an interception.

    • @cybertronguy98
      @cybertronguy98 2 года назад +11

      @@Marrrrley also, the times Ed picked it off in the endzone, if he had just gone down there, the Ravens offense would get the ball at their own 25 yard line. Ed running it out of the endzone risks him getting tackled before hitting the 25 yard line, resulting in a net loss of yards. of course, it's Ed, so when he broke em, he broke em big.

      @__Andrew 2 года назад +11

      @@Marrrrley Well of course with highlights they are not going to show the times he got smacked and lost the ball lol. Ed was an amazing athlete and ball hawk. Only really late in his career would he step out of bounds at the end of an interception when he thought he could not get anymore yards. Early in his career he had no problem gambling for a few more yards or even a breakout touchdown. Part of the issue as well was for pretty much all of Ed's career Baltimore simply did not have a quarterback. A lot of the games we won we won because of defensive touchdowns or field goals. So yeah, we kinda needed Ed and company to gamble with it for a win rather than play by the numbers lol.
      Also RIP to the big man Tony Siragusa who died today. Another amazing player and a hell of a nice guy. I believe it was him that one time when he got flak for "landing too hard on Tom Brady" said "well my wife is only 120 pounds and she doesnt mind when i lay on her every night" lol.

'End of story'. 'And to further drive the point home', Coaches always exaggerate the present players and games. They are emotional, love the game, and get caught up in the moment of their own endeavors. 'End of Story.' The 'best' is debatable among many players and eras.

    The thing that always sticks out when watching Reed is his momentum after catching an interception. He could bait a bad throw better than any safety to play the game.
    Watching him get an interception and immediately be at full speed is a testament to his preparation, anticipation, and natural instincts at the position. It was a pleasure being a ravens fans when defense was an institution in Baltimore.
    Not to say we don't field great defenses anymore, but there was an electricity when Ray and Ed were on the field together. Those defenses always felt like they were greater than the sum of their parts, and Ray and Ed put average guys in position to make incredible plays they had no business making. Just look at how many defensive players left Baltimore to chase contracts during those years and the vast majority never could replicate the success they had in Baltimore. To be so talented those two were incredibly selfless players and I think that is what transcends them above equally talented players. I'm so glad we finally got Ed a ring.

      @@Ryan.granneman I agree about Suggs as well and he was definitely the final leg of the triangle of leadership that existed on those units. He's still a great player at 36. Obviously his snaps are limited, but every team that prepares for the Ravens have to use time and resources game planning for him, and that's more precious than any further accolades he could receive. A FEW years ago I wasn't sure he was going to have the longevity to be a HOFer, but there's no doubt in my mind he gets in now.

      There are arguably many safeties who could tackle as well or better than Reed, but NOBODY had better high-safety coverage skills than Reed.
      Dawkins did a lot for Philly (thanks in part to Jim Johnson’s diverse defense, blitzing anyone from anywhere), but lacked the freakish ballhawkish talent that Reed had. Reed played something like 50 games less than Weapon X, but ended up with almost double his interception total.

    Edit: You know you're the greatest of all time when you play a defensive scheme a certain way all year long for one play that they may or may not run in week 12 just to fool Peyton Manning and get under his skin by intercepting him.

      Timing the snap is still arguable if you take into account how Ed was used on special teams. Knowing that, if he was on the line of scrimmage like Troy he might have made similar plays. But what isn't arguable is troys marketability. That man could sell some shampoo!! 😂

    What can I say about Ed Reed. Just the most dominant safety every (in my opinion). This guy was unbelievable. You would have had to see it for yourself. I've only seen a few defensive players who could impose their will whenever he wanted. I swear this man had a gps on the ball. He demanded attention. Let's not forget that this guy tackled with conviction. My favorite safety of all time. There will never be another.

      Troy was the best tackler at the position and maybe the best athlete at his position...ever. The man had a 43" vert at 220 and ran a 4.4 forty. Go look at how fast he got to the ball carrier, he was like a bullet. You really can't compare both of them since they play different positions (they have different roles in their respective schemes) and they both have unique skill sets.
