| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everybody? |
| 0:10.5 | Welcome in. |
| 0:11.2 | This is DeCecho DeCeco Eagles Beat Reporter for Inside the Birds.com. |
| 0:16.2 | I know in the last podcast that I told you I was going to focus on the offensive line as I go through my position groups and give you a good assessment and overview going into the 2026 off season. |
| 0:28.3 | But because it's a snow day and I hope everyone's staying safe and I imagine that there's some downtime here. |

| 1:15.6 | But I think Blankenship would be a stay because there are not a number of players at that position as it is. |
| 1:23.3 | He gives you familiarity, continuity, has a good rapport with Cooper de Gene, and he's sort of a |
| 1:28.8 | homegrown talent that I believe the Eagles would want to keep in the building. |
| 1:32.7 | But I don't think that that should preclude the Eagles from trying to add a little bit more |
| 1:36.2 | athleticism to that position. |
