Ode To Ed Reed

No one appreciates safeties
Except for the opposing team
They can only blow coverages
Be fooled by play action
Get looked off 
Be beat

Rick Volk
True town Colt
John Lynch
Pin of the Bad Butt Buc D
Ball Hawkin Dawkins
Terror in Emerald Green

They were the stuff
Poisoning Quarterbacks dreams
But none more terrifying 
Than Ed Reed

You may get past Lewis
You may think you run free
But you're not out of the Purple
Till you get past Ed Reed

Record picks
And scoring runbacks
Not garbage time stats
But against Steelers and Pats
Man Brothers in big games

The longest pick return
The greatest Quarterback burn
Breaking the former record
Held by Ed Reed

Polamalu
I love you
But you're not a DB
Hybrid backer supreme
You play dynamic and mean
But when the ball's in the air
No one can compare
To the man, the legend
THE SAFETY
Ed Reed
