Eric Reid

[t96]

Definitely has some weaknesses but the man is a beast on blitzes, his blitz at the end helped lead to Butler getting the strip sack then he was there to recover it. We really need to use Reid in the blitz more, like we did with Mitchell back in 2013. Also props to him for being smart enough to bat the ball straight down at the end. You’ll see guys try to catch it and fug up allowing a TD like those ones Rodgers has gotten.

He was absolutely clutch at the end of the game. Don't get the win without him.

[DaveThePanther2008]

He plays a solid safety and certainly the captain of the secondary.

Loved the volleyball spike.

[CatTower]

He also laid a few big hits on that RB when it looked like he was about to run over our defense in the 4th.

For all the complaining about Reid...we have had worst safeties back there.

Before we got him I heard a lot of... we sign old, washed up, slow, unathletic safeties, in Riveras defense safety talent doesnt matter, etc.  

You take the good with the bad just like you do with any person in real life, nobody is perfect. Eric has shown enough good for me. Isnt my favorite player on defense by any means but still a good player in our defense.

Basically this... any other answer has some bias soul searching to do.

He just needs to understand when to hit and when to tackle.

Ill eat my crow. He had some terrible missed tackles in the first half but he made arguably the play of the day

[ecu88]

I was happy to see Reid spike the ball down on the hail mary instead be like most other DBs in this league going for a useless INT to give up a TD.

[WarPanthers89]

His jump ball at the end was extremely impressive

They weren’t missed tackles. They were “hits”(shoulder first, no wrap up). He just needs to spend a week in the tape room. 

That shoe string he did proves he’s can tackle, on the short drive. He just needs to get his tackles and hits in order:

Needs to clean a few of those tackles up but rebounded nicely with the blitz and bat at the end.
