Jetlife33 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'll be at Ed Reed's first home game as a Jet on the 1st, can't lie I'm excited to see that in person. Go Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Totally disagree. Depending on the terms of the deal I think this helps them for this year and upgrades a safety position that is lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I didn't think his comments were harsh and were intentionally suppose to be targeting any coach. I think he just stated the obvious and was honest.. their coaching staff were out coached that game He wasn't bad mouthing anyone. People are too sensitive. He is no cancer in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It only took 11 and 1/2 years, but the Jets finally got it right! lmfao - its never too late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Not sure the impact. I think it will help considering how terrible the secondary has been...but expecting a shell of the former Ed Reed. Hopefully, thats enough but I'm not holding my breath.

Gastineau Lives Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I may be wrong but I think Rex and Idzik know that he's not the same player. I doubt they went, "Ooh Ed Reed, I have his baseball card!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's Ronnie Lott/Art Monk/Brett Favre all over again. We never learn. You think so? I think he's a patch to help out a suspect secondary, with half a season left to go, while we hold the 6th seed and control our own destiny. Doubt he's any major type of investment and no more or less of a patch than Kellen Winslow. He's a veteran who's obviously past his prime but who may or may not be able to give us some cheap production due to veteran savvy (and in Reed's case, immediate knowledge of Ryan's D). Pretty low risk and nothing like the 3 you mentioned. It was a Ronnie Lott deal for the Texans. It's quite a bit less than that for the Jets. If I find out we just gave him a 2.5 year deal at $3M per or more, then I'll feel differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billo83 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's Ronnie Lott/Art Monk/Brett Favre all over again. We never learn. Nope. For one thing his contract will be very cheap. Let me ask you this, would you rather have Ricky Sapp or Reed for a playoff push? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Cheap, expendable, and isn't blocking a young player. Unless he's an absolute pain in the ass in the locker room, it's a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He upgrades the secondary and makes the team a little better, probably more via leadership than skill at this point. It's a good signing and makes them more fun to watch rest of the season if Reed can stay on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I know about Reed, is that he's a maniacal in the film room. I've read articles that he watches so much film, he's basically got books on QB and WR tendencies. Which is why, in addition to his skill, he was such an incredible ball hawk his entire career. So that aspect I'm in love with considering how young the D is all together.

Jetsfan80 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's Ronnie Lott/Art Monk/Brett Favre all over again. We never learn. LaDainian Tomlinson worked out pretty well for us. In Idzik/Rex I trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'll be like another coach on the field for Rex too, for one of the youngest defenses in the league, heading into our run to make the playoffs. This has all kinds of win all over it.

ylekram Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 super bowl winning leadership at the worst. solid safety depth. don't see how this signing is not a win.only problem I could see is if reed has nothing left in the tank and rex insists on playing him out of admoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
