Thrash injured

[Bushead]

He is a very shifty WR who has picked up some important first downs on a few occasions. Can we say that for Taylor Jacobs or anyone else who plays more than thrash?

You're saying Thrash is shifty? LMFAO!

As for the idea he's a great possession receiver, he's contributed a whopping TEN first down catches this year.

By comparison, Cooley has caught 44 first down balls this year. Even Sellers, who is rarely used outside the redzone, has 9. Robert Royal has EIGHT for crying out loud!

The thing about guys like Jacobs and Farris is, they haven't really had the chance to play long enough to really do anything. They're B-grade receivers AT BEST, but Thrash is a C+ on a good day. Guys like Jacobs and Farris are probably gone next season anyway, so they've got all the motivation in the world to go out there and have a Timmy Smith type of game.

WHAT?!?!...You are rating Jacobs and Farris over Trash??? You can not say anything about Farris, just like you said, he hasnt played, enough so how can you judge him to be a B-?? By the way if did not see the Philly game, Trash had a HUGE catch, to keep a drive going, and agaisnt Seattle those catches were late in the game on third downs. Trash does all the dirty work no one sees, and then people hate on him. He is all every play in special teams, this and last year, he put many teams inside the 10 on punt coverage. Jacobs even though he has been injuried alot, has had many chances during this season. He is no where near Trash on anyday. If have been watching Skins games, Trash's effort on all plays, has really helped us win several games, the last two seasons. And what do you mean he is JUST a special teams player. If you have not noticed, special teams wins many games in the NFL. I am not saying Trash is better than Cooley, Sellers or Royal, I am just saying he is much, much better than you think.

I'm saying, Trash is exactly what we need as a return guy. Surehanded and doesn't cough it up.

I never see him throwing blocks, but maybe he's good at blocking, I don't know.

But what I do know is the guy is absolutely NO threat to anybody on the receiving end of things. Stats don't lie, and one or two games where he caught one pass for a drive-saving first down doesn't mean he's any good.

As for Jacobs, I dont have any agenda there other than I happen to know his collegiate numbers were decent and I have a hard time believing the guy is as bad as he appears to be. I just don't think he's getting enough PT to find out.
