Re: Ed Reed is active
Actually, I can see why Ed wanted to play one more year. Yes, he got another pay day, but I can also see why he wouldn't want to go into Canton the same year as Ray. Ed was overshadowed by Ray throughout his career in Baltimore. I can see why he might want the Ravens spotlight to be on him alone when he goes into the HOF.

Re: Reed Needs to Retire
That signing was all on their owner.
He felt that the Texans were mentaly weak, so he demanded that Rick Smith (a terrific GM IMHO) to get players to help in that respect.
They targeted Ed...and you can see just how involved the owner was and how badly he wanted him because he sent private planes out for Ed and they wined and dined him for like 2-3 days in Houston.
Who does that anymore? No teams go to that level anymore...not since the 90's. John McClain even said that Reed was the first player the Texans rolled out that type of red carpet for.
This is what happens when the owner gets involved.

According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: Ed Reed is active
Agreed ... I am glad that Ed will not be the same year as Ray so we can have great party for EACH of them in Baltimore not for BOTH of them. I always like Ed Reed however he is not Ray Lewis and him going in the same year would have taken away any spotlight Ed would have gotten.
I would rather him finishes this year so we can have Back To Back HOF Events!"It is not how you play the game that matters... It is Winning The Super Bowl that counts"... Rumor Ray

Re: Ed Reed is active
I guess the idea of 'saving him for the playoffs' went out the window when it started appearing unlikely they'd make the playoffs.
