Crab grass has a more prostrate growth pattern, not so upright.

Where in the world are you, since that information may help with proper identification.

I live on long island.

maybe orchard grass or some type of tall fescue?

anyone have any ideas if this is a grass or weed and if i should remove before it spreads?

-A "weed" is any plant you do not want growing where you do not want it growing. so if this is something you do not want there it is a "weed" and you can remove it.

I am using the term "weed" as in a plant that is invasive and will take over the grass I have.

i do not mind keeping it, just wanted to double check if this was a danger to my current grass (KBG/fescue) or if this is just another type of grass that is different from the current mix.
