Reed really struggled with the ample opportunities he had with the bears. I thought he had a nice explosion to get off the ball but after that he couldn't do anything probably due to being so undersized. Mario Addison also hasn't shown much but I'm willing to give him time since he hasn't been on the field much this year.

What happened to Corey Wooten?? He went from being the 3rd DE to being a healthy scratch on the game day the past few weeks. i had high hopes for him a 1st rd talent who's knees look like have gotten the best of him.

Davis signs a 2year deal and is a veteran, stats are meh. 204 tkls, 10 sacks, 2picks, 8 FR, 2FF, and 3 defensive touchdowns scored in his six seasons with Atlanta. He doesn't fit the mold of the undersized speed ends Lovie likes, but honestly neither does Izzy so hopefully he can be a rotational player. My goal for him is to be able to provide Peppers and Izzy with some rest b/c they've been playing a lot of downs this year.

How will you remember the Nick Reed era?

Nick Reed will be remembered as a Jared Allen clone except without the size, speed, or talent.
