    No

    He's not going to outplay the starters, this is the same issue we have with Henry. Theres a better guy ahead of him

    Reed beating dentists and car salesmen isn't that impressive, calm down

    He'll get his chances during the season, I mean theres probably going to be a large rotation going of corners like we had with safeties last season, someone will rise, just like last year at safety.

    So we already know he's out performing the 2's and 3's how are we ever going to know if he out performs the 1's if he's never given the chance in game situations.

    If he was good enough he'd be in the rotation already like the other 3 are.

    Pretty sure preference is given to the vets around this time of year, same reason why A. Jackson isn't part of the 3 rotation and McCain is a starter.

    Deion Jr. isn't a starter yet because he's a rookie, and usually rookies struggle with this defense.. Reed isnt a rookie tho

    No Reed isn't but was on the practice squad last year. Sims has games experience in DL system, Logan is a NFL vet, and McCain is also a vet/has experience in the system.

    There is absolutely no harm in giving Reed some snaps with the starters in the preseason especially when he has outplayed his current role.

    Like Cox and Blake did right? Oh no they were pretty much penciled into the rotation regardless of how they performed. Reed is doing everything within his power to be given a chance to start.

    The Titans signed a guy for $10 mil a year and drafted a CB in the first round. Reed got on the roster after they cut Cox last season so he isn't much further ahead than a rookie as far as actual game experience.

    But part of the problem here is the coaching staff isn't just putting guys out there to compete in the secondary they are also trying to find the right fit for everyone. Reed played significant snaps at FS for example. Ryan is probably a better fit in the slot. Adoree is still trying to fit somewhere so they are giving him reps everywhere. The point is they might eventually let Reed play against the 1s on the outside but rushing him there takes valuable reps from the other guys who need reps as well. Are they supposed to bench Adoree and Ryan? Thing will work out eventually.
