already had questions about the second-year mans ability to effectively replace Peerless Price.
Reed said his opening day flop was the result of pressing too hard in an attempt to put on a show for the fans. He realizes it wont be easy to make them forget Price.
But of course, Reed is nothing like his predecessor. He doesnt have Prices blazing speed, but he might be better after the catch. Reed is also a better blocker in the running game, which the Bills have been trying to improve.
