Reed, Cofield could miss time

Reed is one of the best players on the whole team and one of the best young TEs in the league. Without him, we basically have nothing at TE. With him, we have a far better offense and a target that Griffin can trust more than any other receiver. Reed is no average scrub, people. Maybe he can't stay healthy, but he is an outstanding talent. Just ridiculous.

Reed might end up being the next Tyler Jacobs for all you know. What good is a great talent if he only plays 4-6 games a season? If we were talking about Chris Cooley or Fred Davis, then I would agree with you my posts would be ridiculous. Niles Paul put up some nice #s for a TE, minus the fumble, and if he keeps up that kind of production, that will be great. I don't think I am all that off base saying Reed's loss will not be a big detriment to the team's performance since he is an unproven commodity.

1. Taylor Jacobs

2. Reed has shown just as much s Fred Davis ever did.

OK, so Reed's loss won't be a big detriment because he's unproven, but Paul will fill in fine because he caught 4 passes in a career best game? Reed caught 45 passes for 499 yards and 3 TDs in 9 games as a rookie. Paul has caught 18 passes for 314 and 1 in three+ seasons.

While comparing Cofield and Baker, everyone notes Baker is stronger and a natural nose while Barry is quicker.

Does Cofield have the ability to play end and utilize his quickness on the edge and let Baker clog the middle?

That being said, Barry was owning the Houston interior line before the injury.
