Hell yeah am I looking forward to the NY Jets new Reed option! In the off season the NY Jets lost the supposed "best CB in the league today" but this past week they signed one of, if not the best safety in NFL history in Ed Reed (@TwentyER)! Reed takes the field versus the Bills this Sunday wearing an unfamiliar 22 because his usual number 20 is currently being represented by Kyle Wilson, I don't think he's planning on giving it up anytime soon-not without a serious showing from Reed early and def not unless after such a showing he was going to stick around past this season. (even more unlikely)
We all know about Reed and Coach Ryan's long history in Baltimore and I can't tell you how excited I am about the seeing them together again. Ryan and Reed both seemed giddy at the prospect of what they are going to pull off on the field during their first interviews since the acquisition. Rex said on Reed's prospect of playing this Sunday versus Buffalo; “He’ll be ready to roll,” Ryan said. “[We’re] definitely going to play him. We definitely have a plan for Ed..." I'm sure he wasn't only referring to Reed's on field ability, Ryan made a point to draw attention to what Reed brings to the locker room as well. Reed's veteran status will attract the attention to the plethora of rookies on the Jets, especially the rooks on the D. Ryan pointed out that even though he is so new to playing in Green and White every Jets player will be looking to Reed's leadership on the field and preparation in the locker room. The Jets' best safety before acquiring Reed is Dawan Landry and it is his job to bring Reed up to speed. Landry is a very familiar face for Reed considering in 2006 the tables were turned and it was Reed who was mentoring Landry as a rookie in the Ravens' system. Now the tables are turned and I'm sure Landry has noticed!
