Ed Reed: Beast of the Week (Week 8)

Once in a great while a Safety comes along who can do it all, and we mean everything! Ed Reed is just that type of player from a ballhawking Safety to a Special Teams wiz who can block punts and be the Punt Returner, he’s that gifted. In the Week 8 game vs Denver, Reed made his presence felt. He had a number of impact plays early and often. Take a look at this big hit on Knowshon Moreno to cause an early fumble and change the momentum of the game!
Ed Reed plays the game it was meant to be played, with heart and passion and yet he has fun and a swagger like all Miami Hurricanes do. On one play as the Broncos were Punting, Reed busted off the edge and didn’t block the punt but had enough impact to disrupt it. The punt was a dud and the Ravens turned around and had excellent field position. The Baltimore Defense has been much maligned this year in but in Week 8, Reed was all over the field and the swagger was back in Owings Mills!

Hat’s off to Ed Reed who is the Week 8 “Beast of the Week”!!
