Reed Needs to Retire

**Murphey37** · 10-07-2013, 06:21 AM

Reed should have retired. He looked really bad last night against San Fran. Slow to get up after every tackle, being out of position, and can't even keep it close with tight ends.

The Texans as a whole were awful.
I do not think Davis hurt them to bad until the late TD.

I heard the radio call on the Davis TD, and they mentioned Ed Reed trying to run with Davis but just not having the speed. Laid out to try to ankle tackle him and missed.

All I could think was, Yeah, that's what we all figured.

Plenty of DB's get burned by Davis. He's pretty fast. I was actually surprised he was able to catch up to Davis a bit.

I was more surprised how open he was. Reed is typically in the right spot but on that play he didn't come up and help until it was way too late.

Texans fans are furious with him.
Most seem to think this is his retirement tour since he seems to be buddy buddy with every team they play.

I'm glad ED got his money - at Houston's expense.

We all knew he was slow and couldn't tackle - now I guess the rest of the league is finding that out as well.

Tired to tell them. LOL

Schaub is in a weird funk right now that he can't seem to get of. It's hard to compete on the road when your QB serves up an easy 6 on the first drive. If the a Texans were winning I think Ed Reed would be fine. But losing uncovers a lot of stuff.

That's fair, watching the replay Manning was lined up on Davis, but played the run. Reed was playing CF, and as soon as Kaepernick goes to throw, Ed is running to try to get to Davis.

I mean, he can still play better than most NFL safeties. But he's not the Ed Reed of old, which is why we didn't go nuts over resigning him. Right now, Elam and Ihedigbo are playing pretty well, though each is having their rough spots. It would've been nice to see Elam learning from Reed though, that would've been fun.

Kubiak is just another outstanding offensive coordinator who just doesn't have the balls to be a HC.

Just like Norv Turner.
