Ghost Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Ed Reed will miss the first six weeks of the season Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 3, 2010 8:11 PM ET The Steelers will be without their best offensive player for the first four weeks of the season, so it's only fair their AFC North rivals will be without their best defensive player for the first six weeks. NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports Ed Reed will be placed on the reserve/PUP list, knocking him out for the first six weeks of the season. The Ravens don't have a bye until Week Eight. The news comes as something of a surprise after recent reports that Reed wanted to get back on the field soon. But the Ravens will play it safe, aiming for their All Pro safety to be fully healthy for the stretch run. Tom Zbikowski should take Reed's spot in the starting lineup. Hopefully with Reed out, Sanchez can find some holes in the Baltimore Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Unfortunately, our best deep threat will be suspended during the game. Should be nice for Keller though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 It is funny the media was saying that he may go on the PUP list. And that he may also play in week one. Generally if you think a player may be out up to 6 weeks, he is out week 1 either way. So even if he wasn't PUP'ed he wasn't going to play week 1.

CTM Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Can probably take 2 INT's off Sanchez's season INT total.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodimwithere Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 The question is: Do the Jets have enough of a downfield threat to challange Baltimore's seriously deficient secondary? I hope so, but if not, it could be a long game. I look for a low-scoring contest, with a mistake or turnover deciding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistalava Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Ravens have holes at CB -- even with Reed out they are plenty solid at S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It isn't just about having a deep threat to counter a bad secondary. JCO is great at route running and I imagine he's going to be able to generate some space. The big upside to it is that if we prove to be enough of a threat in the air, we can carve them up with the run game if we make them defend against the pass.

I wouldn't count on getting significant running lanes against the Ravens front 7. I just don't think that's going to happen routinely. That's why having at least some semblence of a downfield threat is going to be critically important in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I realize they are very good. It's just that no matter how bad a team's secondary is we have not demonstrated an ability to be a pass happy offense yet. That, and our O-line hasn't exactly been lights out this preseason. Running is going to be a key factor in this game. We've seen the team's MO last year and it's that we'll do our best (plays) and we can beat you with it even if you know it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistalava Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 The pressure is on our D to keep Flaco and Rice in check. If we have to play from behind, we are in deep grease -- there has been nothing in the pre-season that would indicate our offense's ability to click.
