GALLOWAY, N.J. - Sam Hinkie would not make a very good Philadelphia sports fan. For the 76ers general manager, there are no highs, no lows. His sights are still set on the future, and he's confident he and his staff will get where they want to be at some point.
If Hinkie witnessed a terrific Eagles preseason in which the offense destroyed opponents, Super Bowl thoughts wouldn't even enter his mind. He'd be the wait-and-see type, which so many around here aren't.
Reactionary, Hinkie is not. The process of improving the team is moving forward, and whether he's starting to get a little antsy or still seeing it as a multiyear progression, you just can't tell.
