“I was not expecting him to jump, honestly,” Reed said. “I couldn’t react because I was dealing with a lot of sickness early in the game. I just wasn’t all the way into it, honestly. I was dealing with flu symptoms and everything. I just kind of watched him jump over me."

Ed Reed is a baller, but that is so damn weak.

This is something Flacco said after the game. From the DP this morning. I love it!

With Denver leading 10-0 during the final minute of the second quarter and the Ravens knocking at the end zone door, Harris answered with a nevermore, intercepting a pass from Flacco that he took 98 yards for a touchdown.

"We're a 9-5 football team, and it feels like we're 0-14 right now," Flacco said.

Funny. All Reed would have had to do is stick his head up higher and catch him in the nads which would have disrupted his motion and brought him down.

Is his flu the same reason he left the cornerback out to dry on Decker's double move?

Dude was 15 yards from the play. Lol.

going by Reed's reaction after the play, Reed was where he was supposed to be but the corner didn't stay over top.

In watching the replay you could even see Ed duck a little bit. He just didn't know what to do and chose getting out of the way.

If that's there scheme (Safety responsible for underneath out, corner responsible for over the top) their defensive coordinator is an idiot.

It's pretty common to have a S responsible for a flat or a hook in Cover 3 looks. Gets that 8th man in the box. Or in some inverted Cover 2s the CBs take deep half and the safeties will take flats to try to get 9 in the box. I don't know the specifics of this particular Ravens call (obvioiusly) but there are tons of calls that put the S underneath the deep CB.

All zones of course have soft spots, but if you're deep responsibility, you can't be biting up on double moves. Let them have the underneath stuff, don't let them get behind you.

But maybe you're right, maybe Ed Reed was yelling and smashing his helmet because he was pissed at himself for completely blowing his assignment and coming forward when he was supposed to be playing deep. Maybe the sudafed had him drowsy. *shrugs*

I've always hated Ed Reed. Pretty much most players on the Ravens. The hurdle being over Ed Reed makes it that much more awesome. Pretty weak making that excuse. I heard Peyton Manning didn't throw for 300 yards because he forgot to turn his swag on.

Ed Reeds big beard prevented him from getting up there and making a tackle on the hurdle play and helping on the Decker touchdown. Awesome how after Deckers TD that corner stopped talking trash to Decker.
