Ed Reed released by Texans
-
you really think that he would be promoted next year to DC if we were to pick him up right now as a 'mentor'. that would be the dumbest thing i've ever heard of.
cuz at this point in his career he's got no gas left in the tank.
Not at all - re-read my post, saying that if Horton goes, everyone moves up a level, DB coach becomes DC, and whoever underneath moves up, we have a hole to fill.

There really wouldn't be a need to move everybody up....all the position coaches are about equal. All we would need to do is replace the DB coach, Lou Cioffi. We would probably just promote asst DB coach Babbich and bring in some youngblood to fill a role.
Cioffi is who I think will replace Horton. The guy has 20 years experience and was with Horton in AZ for two years before heading over with Horton. If we want to keep the same D, then this is the guy. Only time will tell if it works out that way and if he is any good at making the calls.
In looking at the coaching staff, Cioffi is the only position coach other than strength who has an asst dedicated to that position, which leads me to believe Cioffi is a bit more involved with Horton and Chud in gameplanning the D....I hope so anyway. I like the D and if Horton gets his call this next season, which is likely, I want a seamless transition.

Yeah, that's basically the whole premise of what I was suggesting. DC goes, DB coach moves up, assistant DB coach moves up, some new guy comes in. Why not a hall of fame DB? Ok, not guaranteed to be a HOF coach, but worth a shot?

i got what you were saying chris, just don't think reed has the where-withall to go from on the field to on the sideline overnite nor do i know if he has the football accumen. sure he might be a hall of famer who could read a QBs eyes and get to the ball, but does that translate him being slated in as a DB coach or even an assistant DB coach? personally i don't think he has the brains.
he'll probably spend the off-season going to speech therapy and go to some network having some part a 'future hall of famer.......ed reed' come in and do 3 30 second sound bytes about what happened with this defensive play etc.

Of course Reed signs with the Jets we'll see how much gas is left in the tank.

in that division, with ryan, he'll be a pro-bowler.

OK one thing I don't get about this - he cleared waivers, but then got signed? Why would a team not claim him off of waivers first? Certainly the Jets who would have been relatively high in claim order. Is it related to his contract? Would they have been forced to pick up the cheque, but now they get to negotiate from the start?
Mik, that's fair enough, there's never any guarantee that a good DB becomes a good coach. Just thought it might be worth a punt.

If he'd have been picked up on waivers, the Jete would have had to pick up the remainder of his Texans contract.
Now they are free to pay him whatever.

OK, that's what I thought it must have been. Thanks.
