    1590 return yards on 64 picks is 25 yds per pick. That is insane. Also shows how many picks he came up with on throws deep down the field. He’d bait the qb to throw it deep thinking he had single coverage, except Reed had that closing speed and would snatch it at the last moment. Perfect football player.

      I don’t know who was better, of the two. I watched FS Ronnie Lott, but never watched CB Ronnie Lott. My dad was a Niners fan. Up until 2011, I don’t think I EVER would entertain the discussion.
      I am a Florida State football fan. I became an Ed Reed supporter, after I watched him victimize FSU his last year, in Miami. Later, I found out Ed went to Miami as a running back, and took playing safety to where he did. His special teams play gives him an extra push. It may be recency bias, but I lean toward Ed Reed being the greatest safety, but by a slim margin. And, I was a Brady guy.

    Sean Taylor was the best Safety I’ve ever seen play. The man was 2 drops away from picking off Favre 5 times in a single game. His very 1st play of his career was a pick 6. At the single high safety position he was making plays in the backfield. He had the coverage abilities of Reed and hit harder than Dawkins. Coming from a Bills fan, we will never see a safety as talented as Sean Taylor again.

    I know what you’re saying with “it depends on the scheme” as to who you take between Ed and Troy.
    But troy Polamalu never had 64 interceptions, he had half of that. 32, and In more seasons. That’s the biggest impact a safety can have on the game…. Outside of scoring.
    Troy polamalu had 5 touchdowns, Ed Reed had 14.
    Ed Reed blocked multiple punts, had 4x as many interception return yards as Troy, and returned a couple punts to the house as well.
    He also has the highest coverage grade of any safety according to PFF from 2006-2012. 94.9, just slightly better than Troy at 94.0.
    and while Troy was doing all that Ed was doing, and is viewed generally as a better tackler, Troy wasn’t taking kicks to the house and blocking punts to the extent Ed Reed was.
    And yes Troy was clutch, but so was Ed. He had many clutch moments like game winning int returns TDs vs the eagles and browns, and an AFC title game clinching interception Vs the Texans in the 4th quarter when the ravens won the superbowl in 2012.
    I’d take Ed Reed all day. And he could play close to the line too, ask dexter mccluster or the Washington redskins.
    He could blitz and wreak havoc too. All time best safety of that generation.
    I would say all time but I wasn’t alive when Ronnie Lott, Joe Greene, and all those other guys were playing.

    It’s Troy Polumalu no stats or individual achievements can measure it! Troy was not only the best Saftey… he was a certified Punt returner if he ended up with an interception or picked up a fumble… could line up at linebacker and slide past top OL (or go over the top) play coverage at corner(or blitz untouched) Ed Reed isn’t a bum or anything! 👌🏼😆 he’s AMAZING! but Troy P? Was just different

      Ed Reed actually did return Punts for T.D's and Multiple block punts for T.D's plus interceptions for tds, forced fumbles. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed were defensive players who could make game savings plays and scoring T.D's while on defense to win games! 😅

    Everyone should see the footage of Ed Reed picking off Peyton Manning. He made a pre snap decision to go right for 2 seconds then made a full send decision to swivel his whole body left without looking and picked off the receiver insane play

    Everyone relies on 2 high safety looks to avoid the big plays, and it almost looks lazy when the DC makes em sit in 2 high all day. If you had Ed Reed you would never have to call 2 high ever because he couldn't be fooled and was always in the right place at the right time. Trying not to take a shot at any players current or former, but Ed Reed is different.
