Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Wonder if Banks will end up on our PS or maybe we'll have a roster shuffle again after the game

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Noooooooo! Bring back Banks! No justice no peace!

Well, DT is having a pretty good day I imagine!

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

O well Banks and Austin are the Marko's of last pre season

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Marko and Banks?
Now we need an angst thread for them.

I wouldn't say that about Austin. Still I think if you look at our receiving corps theres only really one requirement. Speed! Galloway, Moss, Thomas, Armstrong, Austin, and Banks (assuming he goes on the PS) are all burners. Roydell Williams might as well be a blocking Tight End when compared to our other guys.

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

DT may be fast but he's still not quite "football fast"

There is a strong chance that this is just ordinary shuffling and Banks will be back.

Moss...or just don't update! I am afraid of updating and losing AH's ratings. He's an animal for me in the the middle....No one gets passed him.

I think Moss and Hall are our best Return guys in Madden, Banks never got it done for me..

Yeah Haynesworth went to a 91 but I dont wanna risk injury to Moss, so it looks like I am back to Buchanon and maybe Armstrong. But I have to update cause I play online.

Really? I've housed it at least 15 times with Banks either at KR or PR

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Banks will likely just go to the practice squad if he makes it off waivers. Devin's locked up the KR spot.

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

I will be [B]VERY[/B] surprised,if Banks even makes it to our practice squad...

Fumbling can be taught...not that crazy blazing speed...
If I'm the Rams,he gets scooped up...

Why would you teach someone to fumble??????

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Banks was crazy fast, but you also need solid fundamentals to be able to play pro football. First order is being able to hold onto the football. Why we signed small, skinny ass receivers is beyond me. You need guys built like TO or Ocho, and "Freak" to get the kind of threat you would think Kyle wants for Donovan. Outside of Trent, and the acquisition of Donovan, this past draft was a waste. Until we decide to keep the first and second rounders, we will never be able to properly build the team up. The only thing that saved this draft was Trent and Donovan. It was like getting two first round picks, but at the expense of future drafts.

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Banks gone, Big Yeah! Torain bumped, bigger YEAH!

Never liked Banks, and really liked Torain! Yeah, I said it! Now to get rid of Doughty! Overdue!

lol..j/k

I meant to prevent fumbling..

U mean the big recievers we had in the 80's????? Or Steve Smith? Wes Welker? Steve Breaston? Torry Holt? DeSean Jackson? Santonio Holmes? Hines Ward? Those kinda skinny as WRs

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Team coming to thier senses. Long overdue. Torain hasn't impressed me though. Simpson looks to be good unless he's hasn't shown well in practice. Maybe just a gamer.

Dude, Banks weighs less than I do and I am a lightweight!!! If I got hit from a NFL corner or S, I would be toast. Why do you think he had fumblitis? If you want to talk about a prototype WR staturewise that the Skins actually had, I am thinking along the lines of Michael Westbrook, but a guy that could stay healthy.

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Art Monk>Westbrook.

So what if he's light? You cant hit what you cant catch, If Darren Sproles can play RB, Banks can play WR.

You mean the fumblitis of dropping punts?? Just because you would be toast doesn't mean he would.

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Banks has to take his own preventive measures to ensure ball security. I think I read somewhere that some coach(Martz?) taught his speedy but lighter WRs to always dive to the ground when the defender is about to get them so they would not get slammed or stood up and stripped.

Gonna have to watch the Bears and my man, Cutler, again this week.

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

sorry to see Banks cut but glad Torain got moved up.But I want to see some playing time out of him in a real game.

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

Isnt DT the prototypical body type for a WR?

Can you place Banks on the PS as long as he clears waiver?

Oh so Desean Jackson is he a Big WR? I guess he can't play either huh?

Re: Brandon Banks cut, Ryan Torain bumped to active roster
 

[quote=skins89moss;738386]Devon on KR and PR use Santana Moss bro.[/quote]

I ll just go back to Buchanon don't like to risk injury to Moss and Devin is only 91 speed.

[quote=skins89moss;738387]Oh so Desean Jackson is he a Big WR? I guess he can't play either huh?[/quote]

lol funny cause I said the same thing, the reason we didn't draft DeSean Jackson is because we thought we needed a big WR (Kelly, Thomas) and you know how that turned out.

I still have hope for both DT and Kelly to become good wr I just hope its with the Redskins.

I still have hope for Devin, Malcolm however I view as a lost cause, seeing how deep this WR class is, I am sure we will pick one up. What I am excited about though is Keiland Williams, I feel he can become our own version of Kevin Faulk, but I am a LSU homer.

[quote=Dirtbag359;738391]Yeah, a back talking bum who can't catch a newspaper.[/quote]

Exactly, but you reep what you sow. Hopefully someone emerges outta this group (Thomas, Armstrong, Kelly even though I doubt it)
