    Basically he's saying that just because you play decent against 2's and 3's, doesn't mean it will translate into playing decent against 1's.

    2's and 3's aren't as talented, therefore Reed looks better than he actually is.

    I'm all for Reed getting reps earlier, but apparently he hasn't proved coaching staff in practice that he's capable of getting earlier reps.

    Well, your title said "starting".

    Being a starter and playing against the ones for a few snaps are entirely different things.

    Maybe I just havnt been following closely, but Reed doesn't seem to get much praise from the coaches. Media has been saying he looks good in practice, and He's doing well in games.

    Who knows. With vital team pieces like Harry Douglass running around, only so much praise to go around I guess.

    Coaches seem hell bent on Ryan being #1 corner, and developing Sims into a starter. Forgetting all about Reed.

    Just keep on grinding Kalan, injuries happen and he'll be needed eventually. Get better everyday, that's all he can do.

    I've been high on this kid since draft day, great eyes/hips/feet. Hopefully he's improving technique wise with balance and route leverage.

    Ryan
    Sims
    McCain
    Adoree
    Reed

    should be top 5(not in order bc i'd like to see Adoree get slot reps)

    Logan Ryan needs to be playing the slot because he has no speed. Adoore needs to be in the outside.

    He's making a case that he belongs in the league. That's what you hope for from a late round pick. Aaron Wallace is doing the same thing. Both will see some playing time this season.

    I think we are going to see a lot of movement with our cbs this year. Barring injuries, i think ryan, sims, jackson, mccain and reed all get quite a few reps. It's looking like a really nice competition we have in that group. Hopefully 2 or 3 of them break out by mid season
