DCsports 05-31-2006, 10:14 PM Lets face it.....James Thrash is getting old and his salary is increasing
reasons to drop James Thrash
1) Redskins have better offensive weapons than Thrash :
Our Redskin recievers (Moss, Lloyd, and Randel El) and Tight End (Chris Cooley) are all extremely talented players. James Thrash is not very talented
2) He could be considered as a good Special Teams Player......but lets get down to earth now, we HAVE RANDEL EL for Special Teams. Thrash is no longer needed. And if you go back and watch thrash's kick and escpecially punt returning he was pretty bad.
3) If we get rid of Thrash we can use his salary to bring better players to the Redskins team
4) Thrash is injury prone
5) Redskins have plenty of depth on the offensive end
Beemnseven 05-31-2006, 10:22 PM I can appreciate your point, and sometimes I feel the same way, but he's not costing us much, and like it or not, Gibbs looks at him as classic "veteran leadership" material.
His strength on special teams isn't necessarily his return ability, but it's his speed down the sidelines that gets him to the return man quickly, drawing double teams, and downing the ball inside the 5 yard line.
He's non-existant as a receiving threat on offense -- not many will try to argue with you on that. But I'd still say his chances are pretty good at being the fifth wideout behind Patten this year.
DCsports 05-31-2006, 10:31 PM Thats true, he does bring veteran leadership and does have good speed on special teams, but after everything is weighed out, i think that his time has passes.
BUT.....you also said that he isn't costing us much, and i don't really know how much he is making, so if you or anyone knows how much he is making, post it here...
Thrash is the prototype Gibbs player. Hard worker, high motor, a top teams guy. Not the WR he once was, but he can still contribute.

5) Redskins have plenty of depth on the offensive endI don't think Randle El will play any special teams if not a return man. I also think he will end up returning punts only, and not kicks. His impact will be on offense. Thrash is a cheap, veteran presence among the receivers. He's been the go to guy before so he can be the 4th WR if we don't keep Patten. And hes one of the best special teams players, maybe in the league.

His base salary for 2006 (how much we would save by releasing him) is 1.13 mil
Patten by comparision is making 1.85 mil
DCsports 06-01-2006, 12:18 AM we will see this season how he does...
gibbsisgod 06-01-2006, 12:21 AM you beat me to it GTripp.
no way randle el plays on st. other than as a returner. but to answer the topic, thrash stays and hauls in more rec. than patten this year
DCsports 06-01-2006, 12:28 AM i think patten and thrash are gonna stay, but jacobs in my opinion is finished
mike340 06-01-2006, 03:13 AM Thrash is the prototype Gibbs player. Hard worker, high motor, a top teams guy. Not the WR he once was, but he can still contribute.
Two other things about Thrash:
1) He comes back to the QB when he's in trouble.
2) He knows where the first-down marker is.
Except for his (ahem) false-start penalty against Green Bay 2 years ago, he doesn't make mistakes.
(Yes, this is my first post.)
HOW ABOUT FRED SMOOT AS THE FACE OF THE REDSKINS? ;-)
