Gigantor Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Thank You James Thrash, you are a true Redskin. Godspeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haynesworth_Mancrush Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Thrash is a prototypical Gibbs Redskin: Smart and tough, with good character. He had a great work ethic and was willing to do whatever the coaches asked. Best wishes to James Thrash and his family!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well. I think my opinion was honest. If by class you me saying how great he was and Im going to miss him. Then yeah..im showing no class cause its not true. No, "class" doesn't mean saying he was great. It means focusing on the positives of Thrash as he leaves the team. His hard work, his dedication, the fact that he wasn't a boat-rocker and caused problems. Everybody already knows we aren't losing Art Monk in his prime. I have seen several handles in both threads of people who weren't big Thrash fans. However, they understand that there is no reason to spit on the guy as he goes out the door and is probably forced to retire due to injury.

BigRedskinDaddy Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Age may have finally caught up with the indefatigable James Thrash. One of the hardest working men on this team couldn't pass a physical? Regardless of the exact reason behind his departure, let me also say thanks for all your hard work and years of service, JT - and good luck with whatever you take on next.

Mark The Homer Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Ah damn, I mean I guess I can't blame us for getting rid of him, but he was good with us, had that huge catch against the Cowboys in 2006 when he got popped by Williams.Definitely one of the standout catches he had recently for me. Good luck Thrash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I wish this press release was dated 2007. See below. If there was a better option in 2007, he would have made the team over Thrash. Well he was a great special teams player but I am glad he is gone. He was a practice field legend that took up a roster spot and really hasnt produced anything in games. He just sucked up a roster spot from young players we could of developed. Oh happy day!! Im sorry he got hurt but he should of been cut two years ago. Im really surprised at people being upset he is leaving. Thrash made a career out of being a smart player who was willing to do whatever the team needed. While not a huge contributor in terms of catches and yardage, he was nonetheless a guy we could always rely on to run the right routes and actually catch the ball. Evidently none of those younger players you mentioned could do those things and so they never made it past the practice squad. As much as we have needed a true #1 receiver in recent years, if one of the unheralded guys you speak of had really been the answer, Thrash would have probably been gone. If you think I'm wrong though, please feel free to cite examples of guys Thrash kept us from signing who went on to be even marginal contributors elsewhere. Yeah, lotsa luck with that. Sorry but Thrash was/is a class act and is the type of guy that makes up the bulk of NFL rosters on teams that consistently win. We need more guys like him, not fewer.

RammsteinSkins Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 He was my favorite player outside of ST and I wish this never would have happened but hopefully he can return in some capacity, best wishes James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempre_victrix Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Thrash is one of my favorite players. He was a great special teamer and a good backup WR. I hope he gets well and comes back in a coaching capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washogskinz Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 He will go down in history in the gibbsian lexicon as a true redskin. http://wheelhouse.blogspot.com/2007/11/gibbs-to-english-dictionary.html A “true Redskin”: Aging journeyman skill position player who wouldn’t make the roster of most “good” teams and lacks any discernible above average skills. And he loves Jesus. See “Thrash, James.” But seriously folks, he was an above average special teams guy. The Wheelhouse guy was trying to be funny. Average guys don't work in the NFL for 12 years. Besides, he always "played his guts out". This is like seeing an old friend retire. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtremeHOGS Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 really sorry to see you go, JT. imo they shud not have cut him and let him retire with his dignity. I have both a white and a burgundy Thrash jersey and I am gonna keep on wearing them at Fedex. Farewell Jamie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
