Those are things that will get him a shot at the NFL. Will he stick? Who knows.

Also in using the Harline Coats comparisons. You have to look to what fits where. Harline was outstanding in college. Coats was decent in college.

Harline is doing something else now. Coats is in the NFL firmly entrenched on a two deep roster. What is valued and why makes all the difference in the world.

Great post DJRoss. Thanks for illustrating my point that Reed has some tools that Collie doesn't and Collie does somethings maybe a few things a little better than Reed.
