Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed believes quarterbacks will think differently when they play the Ravens' defense without linebacker Terrell Suggs, who partially tore his Achilles tendon last week.

Reed talked about how Suggs didn't have to make plays to affect games. Just the threat of him coming off the edge changed how quarterbacks played.

"We know what Terrell Suggs brings to the table, the fear that he puts in quarterbacks’ heads," Reed told a local Baltimore radio station, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. "So he’s definitely going to be missed."

Suggs, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year, recorded 19 sacks in his past 18 games (including playoffs). His impact went beyond hitting the quarterback. Suggs is the team's all-time leader in forced fumbles with 29, which is 10 more than anyone else in the history of the Ravens.

The loss of Suggs for an extended time not only affects the pass rush but the entire defense as well. Reed said not having Suggs puts more pressure on the secondary.

"[Quarterbacks] might try to hold it now longer cause they know Terrell is not there, but like I said Paul Kruger and those guys are going to step up and make plays," Reed said. "We are going to miss Terrell ... but we are going to have to cover a little bit longer. We are going to get together as defensive backs and talk about some things now that we know the situation with Terrell going down. You know you gotta get things situated going forward.”
