Ideally he should be able to squeek in between blockers but I think most ST guys are so agile they can adjust/react and still get to Banks. I would much rather have a guy who's fast and can break some tackles.

great point ... look I've loved watching Banks take em to the house just as much as anybody else but let's be real .. the NFL is making the return game harder each year and that's all he does .. now if he can play WR in some way shape or form that's different but I just don't see it ? I don't think he's on the team, I kinda hope i'm wrong but that's just because I do have a soft spot for the dude.

Yeah I like his returns as well but the problem is we only see returns for TDs in the preseason. So we can get rid of him and I won't be sad.

One of the things I loved about Banks was the excitement he brought when he stepped on the field. I remember being at the Packers game 2 years ago, and we needed that spark of electricity, and he provided it just when he walked on the field. My hope is that Griffin brings that energy into the offensive huddle, so that Banks enthusiasm and energy becomes less an anomaly and thus less of a need.
