Reggie Brown insists his time has come. And the Philadelphia Eagles are just as adamant in pointing out it couldn't have come at a better time. After averaging 45 catches, 700 yards and six touchdowns over his first two seasons, Donovan McNabb and company are looking for Brown to hopefully line up as the team's top receiver this season. And though he hauled in just three receptions through the Eagles' first three preseason games and 1-2 start, it's a burden he welcomes.. “I'm ready to go,” said the man who set the team's all-time record for catches by a rookie in 2005 with 43. “We have the firepower to go out there and score a lot of points and win games, “ said Brown, viewed by many as one of the team's hardest workers.” Of the team's slow start, he added, “I don't think it the preseason gives you a good assessment of how a team's going to be in the regular season. I don't feel like I'm in much of a rhythm right now, but I'm really not worried about it. It's preseason. I don't really take too much out of it." For their part, the Eagles don't seem particularly worried either, surely a sign, Brown will tell you, of just how he has distinguished himself in their eyes over his first two seasons. “If we could have come out for the second half, we probably could have done a lot better, getting everything down and getting adjustments corrected," he said of the Pittsburgh game. "That's what the preseason's for, you give the young guys a chance to go out there and show what they can do, the vets play a little bit, to go into the regular season and get on with it."
