I thought this article was kind of dumb personally

I can summarize it here.

1) Have a REALLY good quarterback
2) Have a REALLY good wide receiver.
3) Have a VERY good tight end.
4) Run the ball.
5) Put your best receiver in the slot , have him run a fly route, and hope this forces Ed Reed to cover him, opening up the intermediate stuff. Cute play, and certainly can be effective several times, but it’s not exactly the kind of thing you build your offense around, and half the time our other safety will chase the WR anyway.

I think the best way to neutralize Ed Reed that does not involve having an elite player monopolize his attention is to move the ball with quick short passes, since Reed plays so deep. This also helps in defeating all the Ravens blitz schemes. Short, quick passes over the middle are definitely the weak point of this defense, because it forces our linebackers and non-Ed Reed defensive backs to be excellent in coverage, and they are really usually just average to pretty good in that area.

lol...

but I’m not sure that would even stop the guy… he’s been playing all season with a pinched nerve in his neck and some other kind of pre-existing leg injury.

Kevbo: [to George Sherrill] George, you look a lot like Vin Diesel...

Flatbill: Let's get somethin' straight... Vin Diesel looks like me.

ha!

when Jimmy put this up I told him #7 should be find Jeff Gillooly and hope he needs the money (completely joking of course).

Where I was raised 2 + 2 = 3rd and 6.
