I know we sign james thrash for wr depth and to play on special teams.But he can be a punt and kick returner.So who will be doing the punt and kick return james or chad morton

Chad Morton will defintley do kickoff returns. He had a pretty good year last year, even though he only busted one for a TD. He had a pretty good average overall though. I wouldnt be suprised if Thrash returns punts for us though.

Morton isn't as comfortable running punts as he is kickoffs, so Thrash might get that job. We'll put two back for kickoffs, and fake reverses evry other return.

i noticed the same thing last year. he called for quite a few fair catches with no one nearby for atleast 6 or 7 yards sometimes.

SKINSnCANES · 04-21-2004, 01:08 PM

I think thrash will return punts, Chad has said that he feels more comfotable doing kickoff returns. So they will both be back there returning kicks. Perhaps doing the reverses?~?!!

I don't remember thrash really ever getting any significant time as a punt returner? from what I can remember he has alway's a kick returner, I think once chad get's comfortable he is much better suited for the punt return's, he has that real explosive first step, which is what you need on a punt return, much more so than kick return's.

skinsfanthru&thru · 04-21-2004, 01:23 PM

thrash returned punts for the eagles before westbrook got the job didn't he?

SKINSnCANES · 04-21-2004, 01:25 PM

i thought he did.He might have done it for us to.

cpayne5 · 04-21-2004, 01:27 PM

Morton is definitely the KO man. I can't wait to see what JG has up his sleeve when it comes to Morton.

JoeRedskin · 04-21-2004, 01:40 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if Gibbs uses Morton a little like he used Joe Washington, a change of pace back/third down type back. Portis will be the man most of the time,
but I bet Morton is the first option off the bench.

Also, Morton on kick offs, Thrash on punts. I am pretty sure Thrash was our PR for awhile.

If Thrash is our main punt returner, that alone will justify his pickup (besides the vet leadership, intangibles,etc).

Both will be in on kickoffs. That's a great double threat.

Had Morton gotten any sort of blocking on special team's plays he woulda had a Dante Hall type year. Ok, not quite, but a lot of times if they could have opened a small hole he would have had huge returns!

I don't remember Thrash returning punts for us or the eagles.
