I'm glad Banks is getting a shot now. Might as well promote Austin and see what he can do. He'll gain experience and at the very least duplicate the 0-1 catches that Galloway gives us a game...

to that end, and i believe key johnson said before last nights game, that they invested heavily into an already deep position of wide receiver with the 1st round selection of dez bryant, the resigning of austin and the draft pick given up to get roy wiliams.

just like the ravens sports radio guys have been saying that the ravens decision to invest their top picks on offense at the expense of the defense over the years (oher, grubbs, flacco, rice) and FA and trade acquisitions (birk, boldin, stallworth) has left them with lil relative depth on defense since they lost key players (scott, leonhard).

the only key defensive acquisition the ravens made was foxworth (and resigning lewis and suggs).

so i guess what im saying is the boys have loaded up on receivers at the expense of adding an O lineman or defensive player. it seems they certainly could use a high draft pick O lineman or safety more so than a 3rd wide receiver at this point.

and the ravens D is not what it used to be, this has been predicted and foreshadowed pretty intelligently by the baltimore talking heads for the past 2 years.

it should be interesting to see how the boys utilize their FA spending and draft picks in the next 2 years. another wr, te or rb should not be an option.
