Ravens safety Ed Reed dares Steelers to throw deep

[Galax Steeler]

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens are perpetually upbeat, mostly because of the presence of hard-hitting safety Ed Reed.

"Do these guys look uptight?" Reed asked while pointing to a scattering of pumped-up Ravens laughing it up before their final practice in pads in preparation for their rematch with the Steelers today at Heinz Field.

The Ravens are a reflection of their leaders -- Reed and linebacker Ray Lewis -- two former Miami (Fla.) stars still full of swagger. They carry a lot of weight in a locker room full of experienced, pressure-tested veterans.

Reed has been tested often by Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He made the Steelers pay with two interceptions in the Ravens' 35-7 victory on Sept. 11.

IMO, the Steelers beat the Cheats by finding a way to exploit their D. They'll get Reed & the rats too!

Be careful what you wish for...

True, but the Pats D this year is atrocious. I think Pittsburgh took down NE more by stopping Brady and Welker, etc.

As much as I hope this is true you always have to be aware where Reed is at all times he seems to find a way to get a pick on us every game.

[BlacknGoldBabe]

True, Galax. Ben better have his "rat radar" on.

Wow, Seriously? Up until Week 1 Ed Reed has continually disappeared against the Steelers. Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata have been the real threats on the Ravens.

Ben just needs to take better care of the football and yes, keep his "Rat Radar" on.

[Count Steeler]

O Line needs to keep Ben clean. If Ben has time, Reed will be running in circles.

I guess I shouldn't have said every game but he seems to make his presence felt in every game we play them.

Ed Reed is always a threat but where was he when Antonio Brown made his helmet catch?

[Count Steeler]

He can't cover Wallace and Brown at the same time. Hope the Steelers lay a severe beating on these jerks.

...and Cotchery

[stillers4me]

And then he has to keep his head on a swivel wondering if Hines is going to lay him out. :lol:

And then he has to keep his head on a swivel wondering iof Hines is going to lay him out. :lol:

Oh yea. He gets 2 picks on Ben in a "rare" game Ben doesn't even show up in and now he thinks he owns Ben. In fact, I've seen Wallace get behind their defense on MORE THAN ONE occasion... but Ben over threw him. Reed is a good safety, but he himself can't cover Wallace and is just jaw jacking on this one.

[steelerdude15]

Ed Reed can be beat on single covered...

[Count Steeler]

Just trying to psyche himself up, because if Ben gets time, he is going to look foolish running after Wallace, Brown, Miller, Ward and Cotchery. I would love to see Miller or Ward drop a shoulder on him and send him into tomorrow. You know, a legal hit, not this cut block shit.

[tihmtahm]

If we pressure Flacco the Ravens will go down like a cheap whore in the Big Easy!

[tube517]

And the Steelers dare you to leave a DB or OLB unassigned at the LOS. Ratbirds need to account for Troy at all times. So, Ed, you ain't the only All Pro safety on the field.

[GodfatherofSoul]

God I hate the Ravens. All their stupid trash talking to the media. They've been getting their asses handed to them for years now, they win one game and think they're the shit now. I want to see Ray Lewis crying on the side lines again!

[steel striker]

I have seen Reed beat several times this year but, the media never talks about that. They just talk about how old & slow the steelers are. If Ben gets time I think Reed will see how fast Wallance & Brown are.
