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.
