James Thrash got cut today after failing his physical.
Thrash had already been thinking about retiring due to a neck injury that he suffered last season. Sounds like he met with Zorn and they agreed that this was the best route for him and the team at this point, saying:
"Though we had to make this decision, we are confident that James will be involved in some capacity within the Redskins organization.”
Sounds like "Coach Thrash" might be a name we hear in the future...
James Thrash is a True Redskin, and his leadership is going to be missed in the locker room. Thanks for the memories, Dude.
Check out this video where the 'Skins WR hopeful Keith Eloi jumps into the back of a pickup truck... with the tailgate up... in sandals. Now, if he can only run crisp routes and catch a football, he might have a shot of making the team..
James Thrash, the Redskins receiver who is the epitome of professionalism and class, is contemplating retirement due to a neck injury he sustained last season, according to David Elfin (Art Monk's Voice on the HOF committee).
We met Thrash a few seasons ago at Beach Blitz I in Virginia Beach, and he was very courteous, and VERY happy to be out of Philadelphia. Dude has been a super hard worker and leader in the locker room and on Special Teams. However, the 34 year old Thrash may have to undergo surgery on his neck to be able to play this season, and that seems to be pushing him to think about hanging up his cleats.
I know we talked about him last podcast, about how he might be the odd man out at WR at the end of preseason this year, but that it wouldn't be for lack of effort or heart. It's starting to look like it might be because he's looking past football at this point, and we here at Harry Hog Football don't blame him a bit.
It would be awesome to see James Thrash continue to play, but neck injuries are no laughing matter. We'll keep you posted on what we hear, but either way, we stand behind whatever his decision is 100%. No matter what he decides, James Thrash is a True Redskin.
Yeah, we won this game 26-24. HAIL YEAH!!!
In other notes, LaRon Landry is currently the only No-Show at OTA's. Peer Pressure...
