LiveStrongSkins Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 At game 3 of the wizards and bulls series me and a friend were walking around the MCI center before the game. We look up and see Thrash walking with his 2 year old sun. So of coarse we do the whole "you go talk to him" No, you go say something to him" :laugh: I was the one who did it though and boy am i glad that i did it. He asked me MY name! and made his son say hello to me. He asked ME about school and what my plans are. I had to think to myself for a second, wait a minute am i the redskin or are you the redskin? We talked about the season coming up and I wished him the best of luck. He shook my hand and said it was a pleasure talking with me. We cross paths again one more time later that day and he said "good luck with everything in the future Marshall" What a class act. People are hard on this guy because he isnt going to catch 100 passes or 20 td's, but what he will do is work his hardest at the small things that are all so important. A main reason i left the espn board was because the morons over there would constantly refer to him as "trash." Heres to thrash having a great season and taking his old number back from 30/70 :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Thrash=class act. And he doesn't get enough love from us 'skins fans imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTillIDie Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 He's our special teams ace who will give 110% on every play. I recall him making some huge stops on the one yard line on punts, and he was probably our most consistent receiver on third down. He blocks on running plays, he returns kicks and punts, and I bet he is a good holder too. Getting him for a 5th rounder was an absolute steal. It's great that The Coach is building this franchise around character guys like James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many guys are that good on all the units of special teams then can come in and get you a first down reception? Not a whole lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touchdown Portis! Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I too have met James Thrash and I would have to say he is one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet, great guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you should say that...I wanted a Thrash jersey during his first stint here, but my parents didn't think it was a good idea. I got a Heath Shuler jersey and then he left, I got a Frerotte jersey and then he rammed his head into the wall. Finally this year my parents got me an Arrington jersey figuring I couldn't screw him up, so let's keep our fingers crossed on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkart Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Dfitzo53 I hope your parents still thinks its a bad idea to get a Thrash jersey, but I have to agree with Mick. How do they feel about Brunell?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MumboSauce Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Yeah Thrash is great...I was truly glad to know when the skins were making a play to get him back. I recall Gibbs saying, everyone in thier camp was saying..you gotta get this guy, you gotta get this guy..or something to that effect about go after Thrash and making him a Skin again. I wish he had never left. 5 more players that play like Thrash would be great. but why stop at 5 *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy70 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Thrash is one of my favorite Skins. I wasn't bitter when he went to Philly for some reason - guess it's because I always figured he was a good guy and it was more our mistake for not keeping him. Anyway - he is well-loved locally, and is loved by all the coaching staff obviously. As Snyder said last year, he's a "true Redskin". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr1 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Let's chip in and buy Dfitzo53 a Brunell jersey...and considering Dfitzo53's jersey-owning track record, I'd say Arrington's days as a Redskin are few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one. We all love him. I definetly wasnt referring to anyone on Extremeskins. Everyone here is knowledgable. I should have clarified it better. People in the workplace, school, and on other boards really go after thrash. Those are the ignorant people who think a player who excels on special teams isnt a good football player.

KDawg Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Thrash is great... He's one of those guys that I hated to see in Philly because I knew he belonged with us. It's awesome that he's back, and along with him we have alot of other character guys... Coach is slowly turning this team around, and that's really refreshing to see.

Warhead36 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 If you guys follow the Wizards(I know a lot of you do)I think you can agree with me in that James Thrash reminds me a lot of Michael Ruffin. Not very physically gifted, but works his ass off and gives it 110% leaves it all on the field. If only we could transplant Michael Westbrook's physical gifts into Trash's body, we would have the best WR in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I've always liked Thrash. I still remember when he was in the preseason trying to earn a roster spot and returned some punts against Tampa. I was saying then, "We need to keep this guy". I am really glad we got him back from the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
