I think his loss at the end of last year hurt us more than most people realize.
(I am trying to explain why JC might naturally have a rapport with Thrash; I confess, however, that I cannot answer the question. Just showing I like the player.)

I like Thrash too, & so does Gibbs, that's why it surprised me that we got 2 new recievers in the offseason. Thrash is a possession guy, rarely drops anything & plays special teams. If the cap & $ were not an issue, I would agree if the coaches cut Loyd & kept Thrash, he's earned his spot.
