billsfan_34 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Someone tell me why Ed Reed is here? It seems to me our back end has drastically slipped under his tutelage. On a side note, did anyone see that half assed attempt by Gilmore trying to tackle Graham low and got hurdled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginiaMike Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Well, whoever is coaching the secondary, certainly needs to be looked at as someone who is not doing a good job preparing his team. . It seems far too often the Bills secondary does not know who to cover, especially when the offense shows motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 You do realize he isn't the secondary coach right? He's just an assistant. I do, but I would say he has a big influence. Regardless this unit is horrible. Well, whoever is coaching the secondary, certainly needs to be looked at as someone who is not doing a good job preparing his team. .

Both led to big plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I do, but I would say he has a big influence. Regardless this unit is horrible. From my understanding he just watches film and looks for weaknesses which he then gives to the secondary coach, he's not doing a whole lot more than that. John Blake is who you want to direct your questions to. Ed Reed just gets all the camera time because he's.... Ed Reed.

We don't have good players....Meeks, Blanton etc are crappy football players....Graham is old and slow. Gilmour and Darby have not been lockdown corners....Coaching will not help here....Aaron Williams left a big hole in the secondary. Not having Dareus also hurt as there was no pass rush from the gut and Wilson had all the time to sit in the pocket and throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 To the OP I was thinking the same thing. to the people saying he doesn't coach the secondary, it doesn't matter what his "title" is - he was obviously brought in to mentor and help out with the DBs. Stories from camp of the DBs folllowing him around like he was the pied piper. Where TF is Ed Reed while Gilmore sleep walks through games. He reminds me of the useless cronies Greggo brought with him who knew his system and how to run "his way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmore always avoiding contact, doesn't wanna hurt his pretty face and trying to stay healthy so he can get paid next year. He will go somewhere else and be a superstar.

LabattBlue Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ed Reed is here because someone in the front office has given Rex carte blanche to bring in as many of his coaching buddies as he wants. I believe over the summer, I read the Bills have more assistants than any other team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
