This has kinda always been who Justin Reid is. A solid player, but someone who's seemingly less than the sum of his parts. He's fast as hell, he's physical and he's extremely smart.
But the guy's been in the league for 5 years now and he's mostly just been...decent. And that's what he's been here.
Oh, and obligatory "Fire the tackling coach!!"
I'd like to get more out of Reid than we're getting, but I don't think we necessarily NEED more. He's been okay.
Marcus Williams was the guy I really wanted and he's been better than Reid. But Williams has a deal that's effectively a 3 yr/$45 million deal with $15 million in dead money to follow. Do I want that contract over Reid's effective 2/$20 w/ $4 million in dead money? No, no I do not.
We paid 2nd tier FA safety money and got a 2nd tier FA safety. Aight - works for me.

That's true. He was just billed as a much better tackler than HB and thus far it's been a bit meh on that end.
He's missed a few open field opportunities on third down etc.
