thats fine, but Troy P has looked bad the last two years when he has been on the field. Ed has still looked like a really good player. I didnt say dude was Ed Reed, DPOY level like he was before but he isnt he isnt awful.

agreed, troy has been downright

he still looks good because most of young free safeties nowadays suck balls in coverage.

Earl Thomas is a rare exception, some of these dudes are straight clowns in the deep middle

Cant fly around like that forever, now he is the "crafty veteran"

thats the difference between him and reed tho. troys whole game was hard hits run stopping and occasional coverage. his game was based on speed and ferocity

reed is a thinking man's center field FS whose game was smarts positioning and coverage first, then the hammer...

makes sense that the latter aged better

he been bad since he got injured at the end of the 2010 season. He was awful in the Super Bowl.

Ed used to play like that, but injuries made him change his game.

since he got injured in 2005, dude has been more of a mental player than before.

Troy is hurt and out for the game.
