Belichick loves Ravens' Ed Reed

Maybe the Ravens should put some extra security around safety Ed Reed on Monday night.

On Wednesday, Patriots coach Bill Belichick couldn’t stop raving about Reed.

“Ed Reed is an awesome football player,” Belichick said. “To me, he’s one of the best football players in the league. He’s really, really good, as good as anybody I’ve ever seen.”

Asked about Belichick’s affection for Reed, New England quarterback Tom Brady joked that the coach was going to adopt Ed Reed.

“It’s going to be Ed Belichick,” Brady said.

On Thursday, a reporter asked Belichick about Brady’s comment and how he might even kidnap Reed onto the Patriots plane after the game.

“I think Tom’s stretching it a little bit there,” Belichick said. “We can’t do that. We can’t do that.”

Tell Belichick to back off we love Ed Reed too. If he suddenly vanishes, well Bill we're coming for you.

All seriousness aside, its a shame a guy with the skill and talent of Ed Reed has to run all over the field trying to do everybody elses job.

Yeah Ed some of us HAS noticed.
