| 0:00.0 | We now return to Chickies and Peets for the Pro Football Report presented by BCWSA. |
| 0:15.8 | Once again, here are your hosts from Inside the Birds, Andrew DeCechko. |
| 0:21.7 | Yes, indeed. |
| 0:22.6 | You're listening to the Pro Football Report presented by BCWSA right here on 1490 WBCBN, 107.3 FM and scene live at WBCB Sports.com. |
| 0:33.2 | Andrew DeCechko and Ed Kratz, my fellow Eagles beat reporter, We are live inside Chickies and Peas, which is inside Parks Casino. |
| 0:41.9 | Great turnout. |
| 0:42.9 | And look, the Eagles have a lot of free agents upcoming, Ed, a couple of key ones on the defensive side in particular. |
| 0:51.5 | Let's start there. |
| 0:53.2 | Read Blankenship. |
| 0:57.8 | So this is a player who really bet on himself going into this season. He didn't have the, he didn't sign an extension or anything like that. |
| 1:03.9 | And I believe that he believed that he was going to have this season that was going to kind of put him in the |
| 1:08.9 | upper tier ahead of free agency. |
| 1:11.0 | Now, he didn't have a particularly strong season from a coverage standpoint. |
| 1:15.7 | There were a lot of times where he was getting beat or a little bit late to a play, |
| 1:19.1 | but there's something to be said for someone who is just a fundamentally sound, |
| 1:24.6 | intelligent player, always in the right place seemingly, and he's tough. |
| 1:29.7 | Vic Vanjo values that more than anything. And I think now that the Eagles are really thin at that |
| 1:34.6 | position, coupled with Reed and maybe not having the best season, it maybe helps with the |
| 1:39.3 | negotiation process in trying to keep Reed Blanketship in Philadelphiailadelphia yeah i think i think he should be a stay |
| 1:46.5 | you know he was a he was a player the eagles found on the undrafted free agent market i love t j edwards |
| 1:52.2 | he was a great undrafted free agent that the eagles plucked from wisconsin developed him as a |
| 1:57.3 | linebacker and then let him walk out the door i would hate to see that happen with Reed. They brought him in from Middle Tennessee State, undrafted, and he's really come on strong. Now, you mentioned he didn't have the greatest year last year. I think Reed was really focused on trying to be a leader of that secondary. It was a young group. And remember all summer we were asking him about his leadership style and how's that going to look? Because they lostarius Slay, they lost C.J. Gardner Johnson, you know, they lost some leaders on that back end. |
