Re: Patten on NFL radio:

With all the touchdowns coming, kickoffs is going to give Thrash alot of time to play. He is only around for his sure tackling, smart plays to down punts, and the dedication he has too it. Hes our Gary Payton.

Re: Patten on NFL radio:

Part of the problem with car radios is that sometimes tractor trailers are shifting as they go by. So I may have missed Thrash being called out, but I don't believe he was. I honestly don't see Thrash playing much, if at all, at WR this year. He'll be a special teams guy, imo.

That said, I may have just missed his name.

Re: Patten on NFL radio:

can someone enlighten me on why the skins would keep thrash or jacobs? all thrash did on special teams was down a couple of balls and call for fair catches. we actually have a real returner now in mr randel-el. no need to pay thrash or jacobs to be cheerleaders. and i cant believe im saying this but towards the end of the season, mr jimoh was a wiz on special teams( and alot cheaper)

Thrash led coverage teams as well, and the staff trusts him. That pays his frieght.

Remember that Patten is working with the second team, led by Campbell. He will have a better rapport with the #2 QB than Moss will, who works with the #1 unit in his workouts.

Jacobs? Only Spurrier found value in him, not sure if any other team would also, it seems we are stuck with him.

Thrash, he is a cheap player that knows what to do. Those few punt/special teams play was the only thing posistive about the ST. Sure his role has the responsibilities of an intern but he is old, paid his dues, affordable, and really demonstrates heart. Everyone of the skins players and coaches sees his contributions . How can you not want him around? Just dont line him up as a wr, he is a special teams specialist. Theres no point to turn that responsibility over to a rookie or less exp. player. Not having to worry about being a wr maybe he will concentrate soley on ST and really make some big plays which can make a small difference and put us over.

thrash is our #1 gunner and draws constant double teams on kick coverage. when he's not doubled, he can down 3 balls inside the 5 in a single game. He's also a reliable WR on 3rd downs, even though his yardage stats will never be impressive. still, as a #5 WR, being a great ST guy means he's helping the team and not wasting a roster spot, unlike jacobs who does NOTHING.

Re: Patten on NFL radio:

I say we go for the best receivers. Trash is old in the tooth and for me I still remember he left us for Philly. Remember when he thought he was good. I understand he is cheap, but if he beats out Jacobs, then we should keep him. "Project Gator" is over and we move on.

Patten should make the team without a problem, if he doesn't want to be 4th, then we should trade him. I like the fact that we are strong at WR, which means we should have no issues with injuries.

We would have advance passed the 2nd round with another sure hand receiver. Jacobs had no excuse for during the Seattle game, which should have been his break out game. The game to put him on the map and he was 3 for 19. I think Thrash got hurt in the Tampa game.

Re: Patten on NFL radio:

If they keep saying Patten is sharp at this point possibly he should get the 3rd spot- giving Randle El full punt/kick responsibility and alternate between the two. I would love to get back to the BMitchell days of dominance and having a guy who can set it off and add a spark. But I would like to see us display Randle El as often as possible b/c he is a hefty sum for a QB turned to WR, hes versatile Ill give him that.

Re: Patten on NFL radio:

El didn't sign a 30mill deal to be a punt returner. he's good as a #3 anyways... mosst teams don't have two blazing fast CBs to deal with moss/el at the same time.

Re: Patten on NFL radio:

What's interesting is that Gibbs, as Offiss correctly pointed out, was able to win with QBs like Rypien and Williams (and even got to a championship game with Schoeder) yet with Ramsey he felt like he still needed to go out and get someone else. I hate to bring up Ramsey yet again, but really doesn't that tell you something?

Re: Patten on NFL radio:

ramsey throws the football like its a javelin... that's why there are so many picks, so few deep completions, and no 4th quarter comebacks (he's like 0 for 18 or some such).
