    That's what I think. Shoe-in for the Hall. My buddy at the bar was trying to tell me he didn't think Ed Reed would be a first-ballot guy, though. I think he will even if he never plays another down.
    • Keep5Alive replied December 08, 2008

      Exactly, this guy puts the HAWK in Ball Hawk. By the time his career is done, he'll own a few major records for pick or pick 6's. Not to mention that ring he wears. There is no better game changing Safety in the game. If he and Ray Ray retired together, there would be a purple and black first ballot HOF ceremony.

        Ed Reed has never won a ring. He joined the team after the Super Bowl.
      • Keep5Alive replied December 08, 2008

        My mistake, I thought he was on that team
• tedhill said December 08, 2008

  He's a freak, there has been none better in college or the pros since he has been around. We may not see someone like him for a while.

  That was not a fumble. Maybe on Wednesday I will be able to come to grips with the situation, but for right now, that was not a fumble.

    OK maybe, just maybe it was a fumble. It was ruled on the field a fumble and it was close enough that I can see why it was not overturned.

• BowlBound said December 08, 2008

  I like both Polamalu and Reed, but Reed is definitely the better player.

  Ed Reed is truly one of the best fs ever, the guy has the longest interception in NFL history, a 108 int. td.

  True, but i have two words: RAY LEWIS, actually i have two more: HINES WARD, therefore deue to Quantum physics DAWKINS STILL BETTER, lemme see DAWKS ONLY PLAYER IN HISTORY TO STRIP LT AND TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE AND THE EAGLES D ONE OF ONLY THREE UNITS TO HOLD LT UNDER 50 yds, we held him a career low 19 yards, Dawks is the man, but Reed can be the little man still love Reed but DAWKINS RUNS THIS

    Dawkins can't hold Reed's jockstrap.
    • Keep5Alive replied December 09, 2008

      Two different players....First Dawk rules by intimidation and if you don't believe me go back and look at game film from Arizona and watch how Boldin can't catch cause he's looking for Dawk. He also has a few picks himself. Currently he's tied for all time in Philly for Pick's and if Samuels wouldn't have knocked down his record breaker on Sunday, he'd own that record. He's got 37 all time and also has a few pro bowls under his belt. Ed's a ball hawk and always seems to be where the play happens. I know he can hit, but not like Dawk. Both Ed and Dawk will be in the HOF
      • Justwannawinna replied December 09, 2008

        I like Ed Reed always have always will but to whoever keep5alive is right dawk and reed are 2 different types of players and both will be in the HOF Dawk makes guys drop balls because they dont want to take the hit whereas Ed reed is going to take the ball away from u he is a true ball hawk and mad props to my guy Troy Polomalu and RIP to Sean Taylor who i think was devolpin into dawk + reed
  • Spotella replied December 09, 2008

    Dawk is an animal!!!! He is the best!!!!
• moBayYankee said December 09, 2008

  It's hard to say Reed isn't the best safty if you use picks as a barometer, However the safty position also requires quick picking up of the run in support of the linebackers so I think when he is playing,(which seems to be rare) Bob Sanders name should be mentioned. I always think of corner as the guys who success is measured in picks or times the ball is not thrown in their direction, and that safties are more duel purpose, they safe guard agaisnt the pass, but a good safty can pick up on the run and make a play. If there were such thing as a shut down safty I would say Bob Sanders and Brian Dawkins about 3 years ago. They hit hard, come up for the run and cover the past. That's why teams are starting to give up big bucks for their services. Polamula is a big example of this trend. Brian Dawkins is still a beast but only in run support, he has a hard time covering Tight Ends now, Ask Jason Whitten. The old B-Dawk could cover a wideout in a pinch, not any longer, but he's a warrior

    He is gettting a little long in the tooth, which is why I want the EAGLES to get him the ring he (and other hard players) deserves NOW!
• moBayYankee said December 09, 2008

  Dawkins is the last player left over from the Ray Rhodes era, Rhodes may not have been that great of a coach but alot of the defensive players that where a staple of Andy Reid's run to 4 NFC Championship games were a direct result of players drafted by Rhodes who either were traded, released or retired.

    Wow, you're right, he has been around a long time. I'll tell ya though he may be a bit slower these days but he is still a lot better then many out there!
• Phili4Life said December 09, 2008

  Dawkins >>>>>>>> Reed.
  Reed just gets picks off of tipped balls. Dude's just a product of the crazy defense. Dawkins > Polamalu > Reed over their careers. Right now, Polamalu > Reed > Dawkins though...age...

  Isn't that wild Spotella, the only junkyard dog that Andy has on his defense that he drafted was Quintion Mickell, he hits hard, the rest are finess and speed players. As far as how to rank the safties Phili4Life you are aware it's an opinion and my opinion is Reed, Sanders (when he plays) the Polamalu who I like alot, it's close, Dawkins would be the best of them in his prime.

    It's AR's philosophy on both sides of the ball and it's what will make it hard for the next coach to correct.

  You got that right Keep5Alive !!
