Seattle Seahawks veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed has never been shy about his feelings toward the San Francisco 49ers.
After securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC, Seattle enjoyed a first-round bye and now finds itself facing its most recent opponent once again in the divisional round.
Reed made it clear there is no love lost when it comes to San Francisco. "Me personally, I don't like nothing about them," he said. "We don't do too much talking; we let the pads talk."
