Ed Reed, the last straw?

This article popped up late last night on the AFC North Blog on ESPN.

Do you think you can afford to bench him, even if it is affecting his play?

This is just typical Ed -- he loves to talk to the media and shock everyone. If he's hurt, it's likely he hasn't said anything to the team beforehand. The Ravens have always listed players even with the slightest of issues, and they'd serve no benefit to not list Ed if he were hurt, specifically an injury of this magnitude (if true).

As for sitting him, it would really come down to Ed's call most likely. Even hurt, he's the best FS we have, so it's not as if we have someone that could step in and be even half as effective. But, if sitting him for 3-4 weeks means he's 100% later in the season, I think that'd be the best approach personally.

Fine us then. Bisciotti probably keeps that much money next to the cereal. Hensley needs to STFU though with this sitting Reed garbage.

That's pretty crazy if true. I thinkl that's the same injury that made Jameer Nelson miss from the All Star break to the NBA Finals.

^^^Probably a much more serious injury in basketball.

This is typical Reed as has been mentioned above.

I'm guessing that it's a chronic, or at least long-standing condition. So perhaps it's not technically supposed to be on the injury report because it's not a new or notable injury.

Wasn't Ed playing with an injury all last season, and not appearing on the injury reports?

I'm beginning to think that Ed Reed gets so bored out there in coverage that he says stuff like this so that QB's test him; and then he picks them off 3 times.

If only there was some kind of senzu beans or something we could give to Ray and Ed to rejuvenate their bodies.

Dragon ball Z that's taking it back haha, I wonder what the recovery time is if Reed had surgery to repair it. Wait isn't this the same injury Farve had when he was with the Vikings?

Interesting back and forth between Jamison Hensley and Glenn yunes about the Ed Reed story. Didn't think that it needed its own thread.
