TD_washingtonredskins Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I hope this means we've been impressed by our youth and talent at WR. I honestly thought we'd be leaning more towards teh PUP list. I really think this had more to do with his injury. As much as I'd love to be wrong about that, he's an older player with a neck injury...so it was probably a logical decision to make if he wasn't going to retire. Now, maybe just him not being on the roster will give the young WRs more opportunities to develop and impress this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 He's been a good player for us, but it has become time to move on. He's still pretty good on special teams, but he wasn't able to contribute much as a WR anymore and with the injury and all the young players we have in camp, there wasn't going to be much room for him anymore. I wish him good health and I do hope it isn't the end of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjames Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks Thrash for all of the years and I appreciate all of the heart you played with! What game was it where he almost ran back a punt or a kickoff but was tackled on the 5? That was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBnotBlades Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Wow. I knew this was coming, but I expected him to retire and not be straight up released. Either way... Thank you James Thrash for allowing redskins fans to enjoy your incredible work ethic and hustle for so many years. If everyone on the team work as hard as you we'd win the super bowl every year. Above all else, thanks for representing the Redskins and their fans their fans as a true class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFK Lives Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Quiet, unsung with a great work ethic, a dying breed among wideouts these days. Thanks for all the contributions to my favorite team Mr. Thrash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Said it all in the previous thread on Thrash, so I'll just say a short "Thank you James for all the total dedication you gave to the cause for nigh on a decade. That, and the dignified way you always carried yourself, will always ensure you a warm reception from those of us of a burgundy and gold persuasion. In the words of the great man, you've been a 'core Redskin', in EVERY sense of the word. Good luck in your future endeavours, wherever, and whatever, they may be." Hail.

jflow78 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thrash was one guy you could always count on giving it everything he had on every play. He was one of the most dedicated players we had, even during the low points of the last decade, on and off the field. I'm going to miss him, knowing he'd do whatever he could for the team and the community. I'll always be a fan of the player and the man. His playing days might be over but he's still a great human being. Thanks James, for everything, and good luck. I, like many others here, hope you return to the team to coach WRs or something. You'd be a great life-long Redskin, but either way, we'll always remember you as one. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntotoro Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thrash was the most consistent of our WR's when it came to blocking downfield. Definitely hope he passed on some of that to these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel2 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 James Thrash had (has) a quiet swagger of confidence about himself in his pursuit of the game we all love. He will always stand out in my reflections of him as the silent example of professionalism. Best of luck, James Thrash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexxskins Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 WR coach would be nice. In fact, I'd be elated if he started today.I would appreciate it if you could clear something up for me. You have been quoted saying that James Thrash "is a terrible wide receiver". So, why do you want him to be our WR's coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shilsu Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thrash and Jansen were classy guys, and they were actually a couple of my favorite players. Well, except whenever Gibbs would use Thrash as the sole WR on one-WR set plays or when then sent him long for the deep pass that usually never ever resulted in a completion. With that said, they had to go and I'm glad they're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
