Reed confronted about laterals
Looks like the coaching staff finally talked to Reed about his lateraling habits.

I think he should keep it up if the situation calls for it.:D ;) :D

Re: Reed confronted about laterals
that stuff's fun against Jax leading 20-7 but if he pulls that in a tight playoff game...

Re: Reed confronted about laterals
Anyone recall the botch in the Pats game last year?
It's something that should have been addressed YEARS ago. Sooner or later it will cost the team a big game.

Re: Reed confronted about laterals
It's Reed though, he's not going to change. He wants to make a play. You take the good with the bad I guess. As stupid as it may be, I remember against Cincy a few years ago it worked quite well.

Re: Reed confronted about laterals
Agree 100%. This is the same personality that makes him such a good play maker. He is not going to change. If he does then we lose everything about Reed. Just like you can't expect someone to change when you marry them, you can't expect Reed to change now. We have to live with it.

Re: Reed confronted about laterals
It's about time someone said something to him. Love the guy as a playmaker, but this has been a blatant problem for years and should have been addressed before this. He's super-scary as a return man both because he's a terrific playmaker, but also because he's a huge liability to give the ball right back to the other team...

Re: Reed confronted about laterals
I hope they didn't talk to one of the principal candidates for DPOY, and the best of his generation at his position, as if he's a raw rookie.
I hope he plays smart, but I'm not looking to change him, and "confronting" him now, before Playoff Game #1, sounds stupid. I wasn't in the room & I just hope it was respectful.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: Reed confronted about laterals
I think you can talk to him about that specific aspect of his game without risk of him no longer returning INT's for touchdowns. He has to know he almost caughed the ball up against the Jags, and he knows he's had problems in the past with it.
It's not like they are going to change his playmaking style. But you can tell him not to lateral anymore.
