Pinkston's our version of TO minus the talent, muscles, flare etc....the list could go on forever.

"On the Inside" basically shuts the door on Pinkston

The Curious Case Of Pinkston's Injury Status

August 16, 2006

A day before, Todd Pinkston sounded like a man who was ready to play football. He said he was nearly 100 percent recovered from an Achilles tendon injury that sidelined him all of last season. He said that he would love the chance to play a full game, if possible.

As it turns out, all of that talk was premature. Pinkston was kidding himself.

He isn't ready.

Andy Reid confirmed that on Wednesday when the head coach announced Pinkston wouldn't play in Baltimore against the Ravens. And if you want to take Reid's words and make a bit of a "read on Reid," you could say the head man isn't all that thrilled that Pinkston is where he is in his rehab.

Reid could have backed off on his comments. He could have said Pinkston was coming along OK and that he was keeping him out of this game for cautionary reasons. Reid has said those things before.

He didn't take that approach this time.

Instead, Reid said he was "hoping to see more" and that "I just don't think he's far enough along."

Interesting.

as much as a woman he was and is, last year proved that he served a role in this offense.  a role they missed last year.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They should have known that he wouldn't be able to come back and fill the role this year, though.  Hell, the only person on this board who actually thought it was a remote possibility was PG.

As soon as I saw him "running" when I went up to TC, I knew he was done for an absolute fact.

Get Lelie.

[Seabiscuit36]

trade jabar for lelie...

Yeah... we need to make Lelie happen.  We all knew that anyway, but maybe now that Andy actually sees that Pinkston is done, that'll get him to get this trade done.

[Rome]

Why is Lelie the only answer at this point?

Lelie farging sucks.  He sucks to the point that the Eagles wouldn't trade their backup tight end for him.   

He's not the answer unless the question is, "Which disgruntled Denver receiver is such a Hoyda that he refused to go into camp and fight for a starting job?"

Jesus...

There is no truth to that rumor.

And you're retarded if you don't think Lelie could bring a much-needed dimension of speed to the Eagles' WR's.

[SunMo]

they need a deep threat, if Lelie's the best available, well so be it.  but they need someone.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'd take Stallworth also, but I want no parts of Jerry Porter.

[ice grillin you]
