Eric Reid


Smithers

Recommended Posts

I know there are some Reid nut huggers on here.  But he is never in position...ever.  He stands in the middle of the field and never breaks early enough to the WR making the play.  He doesn’t watch the eyes of the QB and seems to lack ball skills.

his two picks?  Both bad overthrows with a receiver no where around...to the middle of the field where Reid is always standing, stuck in concrete.  It’s no coincidence that our defense got even worse when Reid stepped in, and has not progressed since.  I understand that Colin Jones isn’t that good...but he’s not this bad.

So you're prepared to make the same comments about Luke?   He's pretty much been exactly what you're complaining about Reid, all year.

Sounds like Luke to me.

He's not great, but signing him was the right call. He's absolutely better than anyone on the roster behind him. The main problem with Reid is that the league has simply evolved past old school in the box big hitting safeties. You gotta be able to cover at the safety position in today's NFL because they've essentially outlawed running around and just laying people out. Reid would've been a much better player if he'd been born 20 years earlier.

OP is a fuging idot. Reid has been one of our best players. I can't even count the number touchdown saving tackles he's made after our front seven misses multiple opportunities to bring down a ball carrier. The problems with this defense (and team overall) are all in the trenches. We're missing tackles at the point of attack and not getting to the QB enough. Thank god for Eric Reid.

Luke has been guessing wrong and been out of position all year long lol.  Him leaving his run fit multiple times today got us gashed for big runs.  I saw Reid made one bad missed tackle today, and that was it.  If you're being honest, Luke has been a much bigger problem.  Actually, the LB corps in general, along with the front 4 has been poo, and that's likely what will cause this team to fall out of playoff contention.

On a day where a RB averaged over 8 ypc on us, we couldn't get pressure, James Bradberry was morphed into Kenny Golladay's bitch, Funchess decided to be Funchess and drop every fuging meaningful pass, and Gano couldn't hit water from the middle of the fuging ocean, you decide to single out Eric Reid?  Lol.  Just lol.

    • If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes  Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo  
    • Grok AI: No, there are no credible reports that the Carolina Hurricanes offered Jake Guentzel the same contract terms as Tampa Bay (7 years, $63 million total, $9 million AAV) before he signed with the Lightning. Reliable sources, including The Athletic, consistently reported that Carolina’s offer during negotiations was an eight-year deal worth $64 million ($8 million AAV). Guentzel did not accept it promptly, leading the Hurricanes to trade his negotiating rights to Tampa Bay on June 30, 2024, for a 2025 third-round pick. He then quickly signed the 7x$9M deal with the Lightning on July 1, 2024. Guentzel himself later reflected (in 2025 interviews) that staying in Carolina was his initial preference, but negotiations stalled and “didn’t work out,” with Tampa’s opportunity becoming a “no-brainer.” No reports from outlets like ESPN, NHL.com, or insiders (e.g., Elliotte Friedman, Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli) indicate Carolina ever matched or offered the Lightning’s exact terms—total money, AAV, or length. The extra year was Carolina’s key advantage, but they reportedly stuck closer to $8M AAV and moved on when Guentzel explored options.
