Thrash injured

[70Chip]

I think it should be noted that Thrash was an undrafted free agent out of Missouri Southern who caught on with the Skins with special teams play and hard work in 1997. I thought it was a big mistake when he was let go to Philly. My point is that he (along with Ray Brown, Mike Sellers, and John Jansen) has been around a while and proven his worth beyond this year's stats. I believe if the Redskins made more of an effort to get him the ball he would make plays. No one is going to convince me that Jacobs or Farris or Brown would do better.

5 bonus points to anyone who came name another N.F.L. player from MSSU.

I guess all I'm saying is, he's been a starter long enough that you'd think he would have made an impact by now, if he was capable. Even in Philly during his "prime", his best year was ~800 yards, and his normal average is in the ~600 range.

Maybe he's a better receiver in another offense, I don't know. But he's never in the mix whenever Santana is being covered, that's for sure.

We'll never know, because those guys will never see a fraction of the PT that Thrash has gotten. Edit: Brown has on special teams, and has blown it big time. Jacobs is a burner too, but they haven't put him on return duty which surprises me.
