Whatever you want to call it Reed did a good job when he got pushed into the starting lineup. :)

Reed was a stud last year to play on the high level he did when Taylor died. But i hope he wasn't playing over his head because with Plaxico and T.O. in our division he needs to keep playing good

REED was not a Stud by anymeans. The only reason he got close to 50 tackles was because every team tried to exploit the weakness of him being on the field... I am content with him being a reliable starter, but I can tell you he will never provide any big plays, just a run stopper if you ask me... but I would really like to know what Greg Novis has to say about this.

You hit the nail on the head with this post. I like Reed, he is an easy guy to root for, but to me he is nothing more than a special teams ace/run stopping safety. I know everyone on this board loves him and the coaches/players rave about him, but I am not ready to buy into the hype just yet. I want to watch Reed play one more season before I anoint him as a legit starting SS in this leauge.

Thank you! This is one of the few times someone has agreed with me on this message board! Time to celebrate with a Clinton Portis world famous PINA COLADA!

I totally agree! Reed is nothing more than an average starter never will be. He might not even be the starter this year with Moore, Horton and Schweigert on the roster

Like ST and Clark, Landry and Reed found a comfort zone and covered the safety position well. This was especially apparent down the stretch and into the playoffs. That is not a piece of our defense that is broke.

Someone explain to me what Reed has done to deserve all of this support as a Starting caliber Safety in SIX GAMES!! Lets be realistic guys Doughty was the starter due to lack of quality depth. There was no one behind Taylor and Landry when he got injured so they were forced to play Reed. I dont know what you people see in Reed Doughty. He's nothing more than a backup. You guys are really overhyping Doughty and his skills

Well, talk to the coaches and his teammates that are high on him.

They didn't look to replace him this offseason, that says something.

Right now those guys are even bigger unknowns than Doughty.
