Eagles had every reason to believe Pinkston would make plays this season. In fact, they had every reason to believe he would make big plays, too.
After the Eagles made him a second-round selection in 2000, he eased into head coach Andy Reids version of the West Coast offense with 10 catches for 181 yards as a rookie. In his second season, he became the No. 2 receiver to James Thrash and caught 42 passes for 586 yards and four touchdowns.

His game-opening 27-yard catch against Buffalo in the Eagles third game is his only reception of more than 20 yards. In three games, he did not have more than 20 yards total.
"Were just trying to be patient, because in due time, were going to get our catches, our touchdowns and our yards," Pinkston said. "Were
