Teams picked up on this. If he was close to the line the would either send the guy he was covering out for a pass (usually the RB), or watch to see if he backed off then run the ball. stu_nna 08-31-2012, 01:16 AM Reed gives up plays passing plays against above average recievers but still he is a backup and I'm not sure there is a better special teams backup player on the roster that could fufill his role. Keep him on this years squad. I'm thinking this maybe the last year for Gholston considering we have alot of talented cheap young depth on the D line. GridIron26 08-31-2012, 01:56 AM we'll hearing the QBs hard count, hearing the defense shout out signals, hearing WR's calling for the ball... What if Fletch needed to audible out of the formation and Doughty couldn't hear him (which he probably can't?) There's just subtle adjustments that have to made to compensate for the lack of hearing. Still, Reed deserves props for being able to overcome it. Count me in amongst one of the Doughty supporters, I think we could do far worse for a backup. Fletcher use hands signals when he calls out an audible. Listening to QBs counting can draw players to go offsides, it is better to watch the ball. I hope you don't think that being deaf will affect player's abilities to play football well, or any other sports.

Ok well he has an advantage over other players and still sucks, get him off the team rypper11 08-31-2012, 04:27 AM I've always liked Reed but he doesn't have top end speed. People see him in the TV shot and assume he's the one getting burned. Sometimes, but not always. Sometimes he's coming over to help and chasing down the tackle. I think it was the Colts game that the CB got burned and Reed chased the play down the sideline for a great open field tackle. IMO he's a top 50 NFL safety which makes him better than a lot of other options (Archuleta, OJ) we've had recently. JoeRedskin 08-31-2012, 07:18 AM Erik Cook...get out of the kitchen Waiting for him to star for another team - because being cut by the Skins guarantees you pro bowl status for another team. Just ask Marcus Mason. Chico23231 08-31-2012, 07:27 AM Banks, Doughty, Kehl, Willie Smith, Terrence Austin, Jordan Black and Cedric Griffin. Those guys need to go. I think Kehl has been very solid. Good special teams player, energy guy who could play in passing down packages. I think him and Alexander would make outstanding depth at ILB.
