Nick Sirianni talks Jalen Carter, Reed Blankenship, and Eagles roster moves

The Eagles head coach spoke to reporters ahead of their joint practice with the Colts, and talked about injury issues on special teams, Jalen Carter and Reed Blankenship’s development.

On Reed Blankenship’s development​

Sirianni said that he was working on his talk for Wednesday’s team meeting, and had been putting a lot of things together about where safety Reed Blankenship was at this point last year. Heading into the third preseason game of 2022, Sirianni pressed Blankenship about what he was going to do to make the team, and now, he’s up for a starting spot. The head coach touted Blankenship — and Britain Covey — making the most of his opportunity.

“But Reed has always had this playmaking ability, going back to the 419 tackles at Middle Tennessee State. He just keeps developing.
One compliment you can give a guy that in our locker room is like man, he’s just a good football player, and he’s just a good football player, and that’s how I feel about Reed, and he’s continuing to get better. He’s continuing to see everything as a safety and make strides there in his football IQ.
I’m obviously pleased with where he is right now and the growth that he’s had in the past year.”

Big game from Reed today, finished leading the Eagles defense with 8 tackles and 3 assists!! Here is a link to an article titled "How Blankenship went from undrafted afterthought to full time starter," from NBC Philadelphia.

Saw the great defensive play by Blankenship on long pass in to the end zone followed by him fighting off a major offensive hold to make a one on one tackle. Heck of a football player.

Josh Allen just broke Reed’s ankles with that fake and a missed tackle for a TD run. Ouch.

Josh Allen just broke Reed’s ankles with that fake and a missed tackle for a TD run. Ouch.

According to ESPN stats, KB finished with 13 total tackles, while Reed finished with 11. Not too shabby for a 3rd rounder & a Free Agent.
Way to represent!👏👏👏
