Erik Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Ko $impson I'd take Reed on the football field but if I was in trouble with the cops I would take Ko.
Max997 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 who's better: he or Polamalu? Reed is better by far thats the problem with Pennington, he can manage a game but will struggle if he has to do it on his own
bills44 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Reed is better by far thats the problem with Pennington, he can manage a game but will struggle if he has to do it on his own Dunno....I think it's pretty close. I say that Polamalu is a shade better - Pittsburgh needs him to do more than Baltimore needs Reed.
NavarreFL_Bills_Fan Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Ko $impson - of the Buffalo Bills. He is worth millions!
NavarreFL_Bills_Fan Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 who's better: he or Polamalu? Reed. How many TD returns does he have? The guy is a threat to score on any opponent's pass play.
Stussy109 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Ed Reed is a game changer, polamalu wouldnt be as popular if he didnt have Girly hair hanging from his helmet.
Lofton80 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Both are very good. Palo is a great run defender and disrupts the offense all over the field. Reed is simply one of the best ball defender against the pass I have ever seen. No sure how either would be in our play to lose scheme.

Simon Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I remember in Reed's last year playing for those overrated Canes teams he made one of the stupidest plays I've ever seen on a ballfield, nearly costing miami one of their "national championships" <guffaws>. Now he's one of the smartest, savviest most instinctive players on the planet.

lets_go_bills Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Ed Reed is scary good. So is Troy Polamalu. The comparison is not fair because Reed palys FS and Polamalu plays SS, Reed plays deep centre field, Polamalu plays closer to the line and is moved around a lot. That said, my preference is Reed, his range and closing speed is second to none. He's a ballhawk with unbelivable skills. I absolutely love to watch him play.
Simon Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 so you're in the Polamalu camp? I'd call it 6 of one, half-dozen of the other; maybe Polamalu is a little more physical while Reed is a little more athletic. They're both great players in their own right but they also both benefit greatly from hyper-agressive 3-4 defenses that create loads of opportunities for them. While they both have the great awareness to create opportunities for themselves where they truly excel is maximally capitalizing on opportunities they come across at various moments in the game.

Yeah, can't really go wrong with either, IMO. I prefer Polamalu, though. Perhaps it's my anti-"The U" bias, though.
dubj04 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I like Reed. Just wondering if anybody would freak if Buffalo drafted Mays from USC.
lets_go_bills Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I like Reed. Just wondering if anybody would freak if Buffalo drafted Mays from USC. I'd freak, but in a good way. DB is not a popular choice round here but I'd love him. Big time player who can play FS and be paired with Whitner, making each other better. What's not to like. That said DE is undoubtedly the bigger need.
marauderswr80 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Reed or Troy P. Thats tough, honestly id take either one......I wouldnt care. Either guys has different playing styles. With the way we play defense id say Troy....

Agree with everything in that post, Simon. Well said.
