Ed Reed has decided mandatory OTAs with the Ravens are voluntary for him. The veteran safety was not in attendance again today and could face $63,000 in fines if he misses all three days of Ravens practices.
His teammate and fellow vet Ray Lewis didn’t seem overly worried about Reed’s absence. “Whatever him and coach and them have talked about, they have talked about and I don’t think it’s an issue at all,” Lewis told Aaron Wilson of Ravens247.com
Only problem is, Harbs and Reed haven’t talked.
“I have not communicated with Ed,” Harbaugh said on Tuesday. “So, I’m not sure what the situation is on that.”
But fear not, Lewis has spoken with Reed, who said less than a month ago that he wasn’t 100 percent committed to playing in 2012, and has shows no concern of Ed’s potential retirement or dedication to the Ravens.
“I talk to Ed all the time, and I don’t expect anything different. Ed is Ed. When July 25 comes on, Ed will be here and we will be getting ready to roll.”
Ed is the last player Harbs didn’t like when he came here , Ed is not a ‘yes man’ , Ed is his own man , Harbs doesn’t like this,,,,,,,,,,Harbs has put many a player in the doghouse but none of Ed’s stature , the question is , will the double standard continue ……………
The “Pink Hats” poo poo Reed not being here. The real fans know the deal.
“Ed is his own man”. Give me a break. He isn’t getting a new contract when he’s broken down and at the end of his career. The guy has left his corners hanging for years taking chances. Sometimes he makes big plays by gambling, other times the backfield gets burned. They need a replacement for him sooner or later, probably sooner.
You must be a secret Palomalo admirer,,,,,,,,,,have you kissed him yet ?
Have you kissed Mystery Man or Jim from Dundalk? Yeah, yeah, us guys who have been around from the beginning have your number…Spy. He of the 8 teeth left in his mouth. He of the umemplyment line. He of the will work for food signs. We know who you are. Still trying to figure out who helps you write in this blog….the ice cream man?
Your perception is astonishing,,,,,,,,,,,you better stay in school…………….
School only goes to the 6th grade in Dundock…see the Double Knot Spy Jethro Bodine….
Yea , but those sixth grade girls are something special……….
Can’t be the Ice Cream man 9inchman. Ice Cream man is busy doing other things over at Spy’s house while Spy is blogging.
Chowman is probably helping Spy. They both are sitting naked, Spy on a kitchen chair and Chow on a foot rest, at Spy’s little computer stand that has the pull-out keyboard shelf. Spy has the form fitting plastic on the keyboard to protect it and the big ass tan monitor. Spy likes when Chow bends over to put the paper in the “Dot Matrix” printer. Spy and Chow put their hands together on the “Trak Ball” mouse to move it. The mouse and keyboard all sticky from the takeout Chinese food, General Tso’s Chicken, Fried Rice, Wondumfuk, Shrimp Toast, Egg Foo Young, Creamofsumyungi, couple Egg Rolls, and packets of duck sauce litter the floor. Unable to get anyone to talk back to them, Spy & Chow kiss.
I’m jealous now , Chow told me I was the only one , how would you know about these things unless you have performed them first hand………….
Not an issue at all? Of course it should be an issue if it’s a mandatory OTA. He’s part of the team not just on the field but in pertinent activities too. Let’s just hope his absences don’t affect his game.
