Did Ed Reed Takeover Today's game????
-
I think a game changing Safety like Ed Reed or Troy Polamolu comes around once in a blue moon. It's no mistake or surprise that either are in the conference final 4. BOTH guys are centerpieces of gameplans and rightfully so.
This year we're going to have a tough decision in round 1. It seems like there's alot of GOOD choices but I think a guy like Taylor Mays can bring the sudden impact we're longing for. 4.2s at 235 remind me that football collisions support the laws of physics every time. You can't teach speed or WANTING to drill receivers in center field. The kid either has it or wishes he has it.
I just watched what the RIGHT Centerfielder means to an entire defense in a playoff game. A QB that NEVER throws picks found Ed Reed twice today. One ended a potential scoring drive while the other put 7 points on the board for Baltimore. All Joey Flaccoseagulls had to do was handoff and he had a margin of error by his defense that allowed him to be 9 of 23 passing without anyone noticing it's relevance.

I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

Remind me again who it was that we picked over Ed Reed....so I can really get a healthy case of heartburn going.
We screwed the pooch on that one.

That would be Willie Green. Reed was taken maybe 5 or 6 slots later.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

What makes Taylor Mays more than a banger...........................because the two guys you mentioned Reed and Polamalu are way more than hitters............they are playmakers superb.....
...is Taylor Mays a playmaker or just another banger?????????This team is devoid of offensive playmaking talent we need to look their first especially at RB.......if you cannot score you cannot win........finding a safety right now is the least of this teams problems.........as we have no offensive playmakers and a front seven MIA
Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes -
You think you could get that pic in your sig large enough to take up the whole screen??
Yep...we blew that deal.

Winslow, Edwards, and Harrision are playmakers (I know you will disagree on Winslow, so save it). CLE needs another good young RB for sure.
They could use help on the DLine and LB corps as well. We agree on that. Though a saftey that can make a regular impact against the run, like a Mays is not exactly a bad think for CLE. I also factor that Jones may leave (he is a FA), so that leaves a hole at one saftey spot.

Dont be tricked by Harrison... he is on the field on 3rd downs... against Nickle and Dime Defenses. And he is fine doing that. He is NO Every down back.....

Excuse me Winslow is slow and cannot block and has bum knees...........and catches dink passes which part of that is a playmaker...............Edwards has dropsy is he going get over it anytime soon which part of that is a playmaker..........and does Harrsion have a career total of 200 yards rushing which part of that is a playmaker after two years or where our coaches just really stupid and missed his great playmaking ability..............everything you said is a stretch........all three of those guys are ordinary as it stands today
I think a true cover corner or free safety that is a ballhawk who has great instincts is much greater than a banger in helping a secondary.............is Mays either of those if so I would consider him with a second round pick............right now I strongly suggest we take the best skill player available unless they are all unimpressive

Again, that isn't how the NFL works. If you want to have Mays, you have to use a top ten pick on him, because that's the grade he'll get if he declares. If not, you don't get him. Simple.
Unless I guess if you go mafia style like you plan on doing with Bill Polian...

He is NO Every down back.....Except all his big plays have not come in that position. But rather when getting carries on 1st and 2nd down. Hell, he's bigger than Parker, and rushed for more yards in college than Reggie Bush.

I tried shrinking her with the Photobucket software, but she keeps showing up huge. I guess Little Betty wants to be noticed. Pretty isn't she?

I can remember arguing with Rich about Safeties a few years back. Him stating that they are the least important to a team and using one of his "dime a dozen" phrases.
I want an "ERASER" such as the two mentioned as well as Bob Sanders (How did Tressel miss on him out of erie PA?). A guy that can "erase" mistakes, especially from these posers we have at LB.
I love the Safety position, we haven't had one since our re-birth. Please, don't insult the position mentioning Sean Jones.

People need to stop worrying about offense. We dont NEED a RB. Our defense needs all the help it can get right now. Just remember, defense not only stops the other team but it can score just as well with the right pieces.Offense wins games, Defense wins championships. Just look at 2007.
WRONG OFFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS AND DEFENSE KEEPS YOU IN GAMES
-
Offense puts fans in the seats, defense wins championships. Ask Cowher, BB, or any other great coach. Or, just look at SB history.
No one is saying you can win with total crap on O, but having a D that requires you to only score 17 points to win a game gives you trophies.

What you stated about my position is a half truth................my position on Stong Safety is it is the easiest position to fill on a defensive......"thus dime a dozen" same as offensive linemen............
However a true "free Safety" ballhawk is a precious commodity.................and highly valuable..............just to keep the record straight on my positon............and yes indeed a strong safety who is true banger is a real asset.................but a free safety ballhawk and banger is which is an uncommon set is more than precious.,..........OK?????????
BTW, Ed Reed is a free safety and even though the Steelers list Polamalu as the SS he is more a free safety than a SS and Ryan Clark the FS(who is also a hitter) are really interchangeable with Polamalu actually being more the FS
