Ed Reed Spoke to Hard Rock Bet and had this to say concerning Lamar Jackson and Jesse Minter: On whether Lamar Jackson needs to change his playing style to stay healthy: "I don't think he has to alter his play as much. Just like any other player, you've got to be smart. You know what I mean? Quarterbacks don't like injuries. Taking hits as a quarterback is tough. I don't recommend hits for a quarterback unless I'm on defense, you know what I mean, playing against him. "But I think Lamar is a consummate professional and knows what to do. I missed games. Everybody misses games. Football is a violent sport, so it comes with it. As much as everybody wants you to play all the time, you can't. You know, there's games where I was trying to play and I couldn't. And that's the hardest thing to do, is to hold yourself out of games. I know Lamar wants to play. You can tell, you know, just by the excitement that he has when he's congratulating guys off the field." On Jesse Minter's start as Ravens head coach: "I like it. I like what I see. You know, it's a growing process. So you can't over-criticique it so much to the point where you can't let the process happen, but we also want to see some stuff right now. But I definitely root for Jesse. I met with him, and I want him to win. Obviously he's the captain of the ship right now, so you want him to win, but just watch him."
