I am not sure that it is knee jerk but you have three guys here who seem to be injury prone. Guice has hardly played. Allen 2nd injury in 1 year and a handful of games and Reed has a long history of injury. Right now I feel bad for Reed because that hit was dirty. At the very least that DB should be suspended every game Reed misses without salary.
I would not cut Allen or Guice but this might be the last year for Reed if it was up to me.
