Re: Brandon Banks

We currently have 6 WR's on the team...
Honestly,I would cut Roydell Williams(or trade) and bring Terrence Austin up from the Practice squad.

That way,we keep Banks on Punt returns
Devin Thomas and Austin can share KR duties and slowly get time at WR
while Moss,Armstrong and Galloway stay as our top 3 big play wr's.
(along with cooley and davis)

Moss #1
Armstrong #2
Galloway #3
Banks (PR) #4
Devin Thomas (KR) #5
Terrence Austin #6

That's what I would do if I were coach...

Banks,Thomas and Austin could all share duties as the #4 or #5 WR on the team..
But still keeping them all involved with KR and PR duties...

or.... say Moss when the Rams hit him coughing the ball straight up into the air for an interception. Maybe we need to cut Moss and not hear from him again also.

It's really because of his size. People think as soon as he gets lit up that he'll put the ball on the ground. But ya know, Portis has fumbled, Sellers has fumbled, Cooley has fumbled.....this kid gives us a nice spark! You never know, he might be the deep threat compliment to Santana Moss that the Redskins have been searching for. This is a great opportunity for Banks. Having Galloway and Moss on the team to help mold him into a starter will go a long ways for BB.

Re: Brandon Banks

I want to see him in the game between the 20s. There aren't many safeties or even CBs in the league who stick with him speed-wise. He has Desean speed if nothing else. Throw him on a fly or a dig route and see the secondary drop their jocks trying to cover him. Maybe he can't run a precise curl or come across the middle but his speed is something that can be used a few times agame to stretch the defense. Is that enough to keep him active?
