My Andy Reid play card story:

When I was in my first year covering the #Eagles, I wanted to do a story on Reid’s menu of offensive plays. So I waited until a Monday after a win to ask.

He had just done his presser and I sprung the idea on him.

“What do you need?” he said.

I took a gamble and asked if I could have one of his old cards.

“No,” he answered, “but follow me.”

Reid took me up to his office on the 2d floor of the NovaCare, walked me behind his desk and opened a large drawer full of files. He pulled one out, handed me a play card.

Some have asked me to respond to today’s Carson Wentz story.

I don’t typically comment on other reporter’s stories on the #Eagles beat and won’t here.

But I will offer some reporting I’ve done on Wentz’s personality the last year, which I hope accurately captured his nature ... From April: Will Carson Wentz alter his aggressive style as he returns from knee surgery? Frank Reich, who had his battles with the #Eagles QB, and others weigh in: philly.com/philly/sports/…
