I picked Jacobs, I think he will play in these next two preseason games and step it up. Dyson would be my next choice.
Why does everyone here have such a hard-on for Brown as a return guy? What has he done that was so special? And comparing him to Daunte Hall....please...when I watched him during the first preseason game he didnt break any tackles and always ran right at the defenders

Oh my God, SnC are you kidding??? His punt return average so far this preseason has to be around 12 yards or something. And on a couple kick returns he's had one man to beat for a TD, but got tripped up by his shoestrings.
He's going to break a couple big ones.
Brown always seems to be close to breaking one, and I remember one return he had against Cincy near the sideline where he put a couple of stop and go moves on Cincy defenders that even had my Dad yelling out "wow", and he's not much of a football fan so that should tell you something.

AND brown doesn't fair catch.... unlike that last guy :( who averaged just about nothing per return with the FCs counting.

Brown did some nice things in the Cinney game and he's going to get better week by week.

Thrash get's my vote....he sort of has that Gary Clark toughness about him. He's definitely a Redskin.

Thrash will likely get the nod to start the season. Jacobs hasn't been healthy enough to earn it. McCants may get more red zone looks if he makes the team, but not the overall 3rd slot. Dyson probably won't make the team. Brown will likely see more return duty than regular work this year.
Thrash is a consistent performer who doesn't make a lot of mistakes. That's going to stand out to Gibbs.
Hey, here's a funny idea. Thrash was cut by the Eagles in favor of Pinkston and Mitchell. He's going to have more catches this year than the two of them combined.

I think it is significant that HOF Coach Gibbs singled out Dyson. I'm not ready to back any particular WR, but I can tell you that Brown will start for our STs! Never forget, STs are equally as important as O & D!

jacobs and thrash start on ST too, so does sean taylor (and all 3 are good there), so that's a bit of a moot point ;)

During the Cincy game, a graphic came up on the Redskins broadcast network asking whether it will be Antonio Brown or Kevin Dyson as the main return man. I don't think it's even close. It's gotta be Brown by a mile. Dyson's been virtually nonexistant so far.
The thing about Brown is that he always seems to be going absolute full speed. Skinsncanes, just watch Brown's legs on his next return. The guy motors on every return like it's the very last of his career.
As far as the #3 receiver, it looks like it's going to be Thrash -- I think Gibbs sees veteran leadership, hard work, dedication, and reliability in Thrash. With Brown as the return man, that leaves just one spot (with presumably only 5 wideouts total on the roster). My guess would be Jacobs gets it, but that seems to be based only on potential, promise, and what a former Redskin cornerback said about how he performs in practice. How that carries over year after year is beyond me, but this season has got to be it for him, unless he can break into the top three.
McCants and Dyson will be given their walking papers.
