    Texans lose Glover Quin and sign Ed Reed. That's a big step down. There, I said it.

    Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet
    Texans owner Bob McNair told me on Reed: "We play all of the top QBs. We needed a free safety back there that had outstanding ball skills."

    FACT OF THE DAY

    We lose our top three free agents (no pro bowl appearances outta any) sign a hall of fame safety and resign our nickel corner both to cheap deals

    More from Texans owner Bob McNair on Ed Reed: "I think he’ll offer some great leadership. … That’s extremely important.”

    Ah Pete... always trolling as usual. I could accept him saying a step down, but "a big step down"? lol.

    yep, I don't believe a step down, but I could accept that... can't accept what he wrote. And I'm really hoping people are calling last year a down year, but ignoring the torn labrum. Between getting healthy and wanting to prove BAL wrong, he could have a sick year

    I guess this means the Texans open the season at Baltimore. National TV!

    For cheap? Are the numbers out? What I'm hearing on the radio is guesstimates of 6-7 million which is close to what he is asking for. Happy we signed him, worried for how much.

    My concerns over the process aside, I do love having Reed here because of off-script plays. On both sides of the ball, that's something the Texans really lack. Quin might be a half-step quicker than Reed on a few breaks -- I don't know. But Glover dropped several potential game-changing picks last year, the likes of which you probably need against Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in a big spot. Ed Reed wouldn't drop them.

    I still have a lot of concerns about the direction the franchise is going, but Reed is the type of player that has the upside on a given day to make a game-deciding play and mask many other flaws. Quin wasn't that guy.

    I'd like to see the number of times the ball was thrown on the side of each safety. I believe ed reed also had about 100 less snap counts than glover.
