NorEastNCFan Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 J. Thrash is not an exceptional receiver, but he has been somewhat dependable. Look how much our passing game went down after he and Patten were hurt. Plus, he is a better than average ST player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcarey032 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Good special teamer, but for 2nd wideout...no. He should be more of a third and fourth receiver guy. Hopefully there will be someone we can get via the draft or trade that can come in and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDRoc Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm sure we have people here who wouldn't be happy with someone like Steve Smith at as the #3 wr. Its sad but probably true. No matter what happens with the Skins, someone will always be b*tching about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not watch the 2004 seson when Thrash was healthy??? He is excellent on ST. He is, when healthy, completely deserving of Pro Bowl honors for his skills and plays on ST. I guess because he can't actually fly, or return every punt and kick off for a TD he's not deserving in your eyes, huh??? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzmuda Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Then he should be gone.Hail!:point2sky Thrash does a lot of inline blocking, and does it very well for a WR.

ntotoro Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thrash does a lot of inline blocking, and does it very well for a WR. Would you rather have Taylor Jacobs in pass protection or James Thrash? Exactly. Go back and look at some of CP's bigger runs, especially in the second Giants game during the '05 season after his injury. Many of his best downfield blocks came from Thrash. The guy doesn't have to be catching 50-yard bombs every other week to be considered "that good." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheREALJBird Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thrash is a good special teamer, not a good wide receiver. I'd keep him for his ST play but I wouldn't throw to him on a 3rd and 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mania Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 James Thrash is smart, doesn't make mistakes and is an awesome special teams player and this is why he is playing for the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelarkascend1ng Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 people like him around here because he does exactly what is asked of him, and goes the extra mile by performing so well on special teams. when a ball is thrown his way, i count on him catching it. when he downs the ball at the 5, i just say "man there's thrash doing his thing".

jimster Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thrash is a good special teamer, not a good wide receiver. I'd keep him for his ST play but I wouldn't throw to him on a 3rd and 8 yeah, because he'd catch it. Thrash is better than Taylor Jacobs or Jimmy Farris. He's a solid #4WR/special teamer.

praise_gibbs Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 all year i keep hearing about james thrash... hes our 3rd or 4th reciever.... in my opinion... he should be in the practice squad... yea hes good on special teams.. hes got a good attitude.. but does he ever make a game breaking catch, or big YAC.. in his couple of season with the skins.. i havent seen him done jack on offense... i think he justs good with words and knows how to kiss coaches arse. look around the league.. theres way better ability and talent...we should give up thrash and ramsey in a trade.... So what, I use him on Madden and he does fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhorse1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 This isn't a anti Brunnell piece but in my opinion Thrash didn't get a lot of catches due to Brunnell not spreading the ball around. Sorry people but you would hear Sonny and Sam talk about how there were recievers wide open on a certian play in a game and it wasn't just once or twice. Thrash proved himself here before going to phithy and did a pretty good job up there too. He'll never be the #1 reciever but he can break open quite a bit on the short routes and he's a good possesion reciever. The key to having a succesful passing game next year will be on the shoulders of the QB. We have 4 good recievers on this team now so I wouldn't expect the Redskins to go for a high profile reciever from the free agent market and I think that means Randal El. Look for the team to fill the off. line, cornerback and Def. line (End).This is only my opinion but I think the main problem in our attack is with the QB. So let the hatchets fly and the arrows soar. I'm ready to get debunked on this. No debunking from me. You are right on the money. Bless you, my son. For it is holy to speak the truth before the forces of darkness.

fansince62 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 "yea I understand lol, he did have that catch that continued a drive after a 3rd and long I think it was against the Eagles, and he takes much more pressure off of Santana, and he also had made some critical catches in the 1st game with the Cowboys. Are you just saying that he flat out has no talent on offense, or that he isn't consistant?" I believe he is saying Thrash is valuable as a special teamer and is functional as a receiver....but he aint gonna keep any defensive coordinators up at night. I would be inclined to agree: I like having him on the team as a Redskin....but wonder if we can do better when he dons his wideout hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyhorse1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 can't wait till we get the break down on ramsey the whipping boy Ramsey credited with 24 starts during which Skins scored 20 points or more eight times. Difficulty with stat: On occasion Ramsey didn't start but led Skins to more than 20 points in backup role. On other occasions, Ramsey started but played only briefly. Also, the stat doesn't take into consideration the average number of points Ramsey-led Skins put up on board per 4 quarters. I believe Ramsey averages putting up close to 20 points a game (based on actual time played) but am not certain. Ramsey has thrown 39 touchdown passes in the equivalent of 21 games. This puts him in the company of Hall of Famers Steve Young, John Elway, Warren Moon, Troy Aikman in relation to early records. His records in relation to completion percentage, yardage, etc. are also in step with the early records of the above. Ramsey has lifetime qb rating of over 75. Last season his rating was over 95. He has never been under 70 or, contrary to belief, had a poor TD/Int ratio or bad fumble stat. Over the last four years, Ramsey is by far the most productive Redskin performer. He is followed by Brunell, Portis, Gardner, Coles. Given all of the above, and the working over the Ram has received by Skins fans, I believe my use of the term "whipping boy" in relation to Ramsey is appropriate. Why would you imply it is not?
