James Thrash

[Beemnseven]

I think we also need to consider the development of Jason Campbell -- he's probably not at the top of his game when it comes to finding multiple receivers. Moss, Randle el and Cooley are the targets he's most comfortable with right now.

Thrash is ok at best.
I can only see him in 3 WR sets...which is rare anyways.

If he starts over Lloyd, I will be upset.
Yes, I think Lloyd may suck, but...cmon, he's got a lot of natural ability.

I understand if they start Thrash, just to send Lloyd a message...but the plan was always...Moss, Lloyd, Randel El...if Lloyd doesn't get in the game today, he never will.

Thrash aint anything special...yes, he does catch well, but does he have starting WR talent....I dont think so.

Asking for a retraction?
Well, I'd like to tone down my "starting WR talent" comment about Thrash, with...He's solid depth....boy I wish he got his feet in bounds....then we'd be saying he's number 3 on the team and a potential starter....but after today....
It seems like he should be #4 and Kennan should be 3....primarily because Keenan made his catches having the playbook for a week, vs years for Thrash....Its pretty close though!

I do love Thrash's hands!

[kdogg3270]

did anybody else besides me rise out of their seat when Thrash cut right at the start of his punt return? I swear that dude can still haul ass...soon as he broke for the sideline i thought he was gone..I mean, i love randle el back there, and cartwright is serviceable on kickoffs...but i love the way thrash attacks any opening given to him..

Glad he's on our team..

Just so you know I'm not disagreeing out of perfect hindsight vision, my posts leading up the game today said Thrash was the best replacement. You're wrong about him. Aside from ARE, Thrash is probably the best at getting open (Moss does it w/ his speed but not much beyond that). Thrash also has the best hands on the team (remember all the dropped passes to Moss and Lloyd). Even ARE drops a few. Thrash is almost a guaranteed catch and he is tough as hell after the catch. If anyone should move ahead of him it would be Caldwell.

anyone want to retract some of their Thrash bashing after his performance today?

Nope. He played about to his potential...average.
2 catches for 11 yards, a fumble lost (could have been HUGE), and did his only damage during that return.
How exactly did he have a great performance (like you are implying)?

[freddyg12]

I continue to be disturbed by the way people under value Thrash. No one is saying he's a great reciever, but he's consistent w/above avg. hands & is tough. He blocks well & is a good coverage man on teams.

James Thrash is also an all around footbally player, you can't say that about a no. of nfl wr's.

He had a good game today & he'll continue to help the team the rest of the season. He even got deep twice & made the catch out of bounds. If JC puts those a little inside those are big plays.

Why criticize him for what he lacks. Clearly he helps the team.

It's not that...people have exhaulted him to GREAT status, and he's just average. I love his heart and he's dedicated, so that's great, but he's nothing extra special.

I never said he had a great performance but he had a damn good game for someone multiple people have claimed shouldn't even have a spot on the roster. plus he was the teams only consistent down the field threat but Campbell was a little errant on his down field passes to Thrash which resulted in Thrash being out of bounds for each catch.

Yeah, I love Thrash over the middle, he is a tough cookie and he does have a pair of hands.

Good point ...he does have good hands on special teams and over the middle.

how ironic you would say this after a fumble

[Redskins247]

That punt return was great...the fumble was just a good pop from the lions guy, we got it back, so you still have to give Thrash credit for that touchdown drive.

Thrash is a Gibbs "true Redskin" kind of guy

We got it back cause Rock hustled all the way. I don't care HOW he fumbled, he fumbled. That was huge, and could have been horrible.

He had an average day and played to his talent.
