Which Safety are you taking in their prime?

[premier58]

Dawkins getting disrespected. He didnt play with the supporting cast that Ed and Troy did.

 

[skyrunner1]

of that group, Ed reed

But my favorite was Sean Taylor

Of course guys who played longer like Lott, TroyP & Ed had better better numbers based on longevity but ST's size and speed was a sight to see, and he had the reputation as a hard hitter but his last season he was becoming more of a ball hawk. Look at his game against Favre in GB where he had two picks.

Never had to choose, got to watch them both patrol the OB center field as a youngin

Its funny Ed was that dude but the legend on Sean Taylor just has alluring draw to alot of people.. Would be like picking my favorite child, I LOVE EM BOTH!

I wish more ppl got to see prime B. Dawk...he revolutionized the S position

He was interchangeable as a FS and SS

He could cover the slot, deep middle, play man against TEs

He was a 4th LB in the box...and he could rush the passer (RIP Jim Johnson)

He was a feared hitter

He's arguably the most versatile S in the history of the game

You're talking about a S who impacted the pass rush, run def & coverage...and was a plus in every area

Like Darren Woodson and safeties that came before him? I wish y’all coulda seen prime B.Dawk

Darren Woodson Career Stats

12 sacks
23 Ints
967 tackles
12 FFs
36 PD


Brian Dawkins Career Stats

26 sacks
37 Ints
1147 tackles
36 FFs
153 PD


Are you crazy

B. Dawk had 153 passes defensed along with 37 Ints...for reference, Revis had 36 career Ints and 139 passes defensed

B. Dawk was the first complete S the league ever saw...based off his coverage work, run support work & pass rushing work...it ain't close really

 

[jadillac]

I vted for reed but Polamalu with 0 votes is crazy

 

[Silkk]

Ed Reed, Dude even confused the GOAT

 

[Born2BKing]

Ed Reed easy

Not really even close. Should have had Ronnie Lott to make it closer.

 

[Born2BKing]

Yeah I remember him .he was a savage back in the day

That's why his career was cut short, nikka was reckless.

Reckless enough to win a DPOY

 

[Controversy]

B. Dawk beats Ed Reed in every major category except Ints & TDs

 

[get these nets]

B. Dawk beats Ed Reed in every major category except Ints & TDs

In how many more seasons did he accumulate those stats?

I'm a Giants fan, the entire NFC East fanbase respects BD. Just asking a question.

 

[Remote]

That man was a leader.

 

[Street Knowledge]

Ed is the best ever

 

[BrehWyatt]

Ed Reed was considered more of a priority for opposing offenses/QBs while playing on the same team as Ray Lewis.

Do with this what you will.

Yeah B Dawk was a combo of Ed and Troy imo.
