Guess who Ed Reed's favorite player is?

Postby thesteelhammer » Thu Jan 08, 2009 10:20 pm

This one's for EDREED20

Reed's favorite NFL player is Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu.

"We play the same position," Reed said. "I know Troy personally, we've talked about it, and I know he's working hard to do what he does on Sunday."

More like he wants to be Troy Polamalu. Reed is a phenom, but to match Troy's athleticism, character, and style of play will only come in his dreams. If that.

Reed is a ballhawk...an exceptional one at that... Troy is the more complete player and anyone who knows anything knows this is true.

Reeds a good player with a nose for the ball. but no way is he a candidate for DPOY.

most of his interceptions are the result of the opposing quarterback getting hit as he throws, or panicking into tossing the ball up for grabs. Reed is playing centerfield and catching flyballs.

If we were at recess playing kickball, Troy Polamalu would be the first person I'd pick every time. I'd put him at home plate and let him knock the shit out of anyone trying to score.. he probably wouldn't even let the kids kick the ball, as he would ninja dive at their legs before the kick.
Then, I'd have him karate chop my 5th grade teacher Mr. Richardson who made little kids cry in fear.
Ed Reed would be playing four square.
That's how awesome Troy Polamalu is.

Hey Jeffy, I mean, EDREED20! You're a football expert, a genius in Underoos, ain't ya? Tell us again how you count Cleveland's NFL titles from the 1950s as belonging to you Baltimorons. I know it's you, Jeff, you juvenile miscreant. Shouldn't you be at school?

Shouldn't you make a thread debating who's gonna win with you and CJ? Regardless of the outcome, I know one of you is going to mysteriously disappear after the game and never post on this board again :D

what are you talking about? TP received several first place votes as well

Reed is great, so is Troy - just let it rest.

Better tackler? Troy

More versatile..better blitzer..Troy.

Reed is a better ballhawk...that is it.. He hits like a bitch.

Well simply... Troy is perhaps a little faster and harder hitter but Reed is a better reader of the offence The
chameleon the Qb cant see. I watch Troy his rookie and second yr his grip wasn't quit there but..Reed rookie year was allot better than Troy's. I live in the Baltimore area so I not only see My Steeler games I watch much Raven football. Troy and Reed are true blue players and both are master of what they do.

I'd've figured it was Hines Ward.
