Ravens' Reed a candidate for NFL defensive player of year

Shortly after John Harbaugh became head coach, he called some of the Ravens, and one of them was Ed Reed.

Harbaugh talked to him about discipline and staying in the right position, and it apparently has paid off for Reed this season, maybe more than other years. If he isn't the NFL defensive player of the year, it's still a tribute to him because only seven defensive backs have won the award in the 37 years it has been given out including Reed in 2004.

"He's not just making plays back there, he's playing with tremendous discipline and he understands the offense he is playing against," said Harbaugh. "He's been in position every single play for a lot of plays in a row. He's just a great football player."
