Yeah, still love that touchdown against the Lions in 2008.



I agree Moss is not the guy now. If not Banks, how about Paul? He's shown some amazing speed on special teams.

i really want moss as primary punt returner this year (assuming he's not 1 of 2 starting wrs). def not as kick returner though, he's only returned 2 in his career, keep it that way.

robinson would be my first choice for kicks, if he makes the team

Anyone notice in the video how Moss was almost tackled by Devin Thomas just after the catch? I really don't miss that guy -- not even a little bit.

Whaaaaat ? So no more Brandon Banks interviews when he lifts and drops his shoulders about 548 times ?

Chase Minnifield and D.Hall.

I was also going to throw those names out there. D hall is mOre than capable of returning punts but I doubt he does kickoffs. I remember reading an article about minniefield returnin kicks for a few years at UVA. The more I read about him the more I like what he brings to the table. I hope he turns into a solid corner, we need all the help back there we can get.

I didnt expect him on last years roster

[skinsfan69]

I doubt he'll make it but what have the other young wr's shown? I'll say this about Banks. He's still one of the most explosive players we have. If you put RG3, Banks and Garcon on the field that's a ton of speed. But he's been here two years and shown nothing as a wr.

Terrence Austin has been here 4 and hasnt shown anything either, at least Banks has some explosive plays on his resume.

never looked at Banks as really a WR anyways. He's a KR/PR

I thought Austin has only been here two? Not that it makes much of a difference, I thought Austin's production would go up last season once he got an opportunity but he didn't do anything all year. If we cut him I wouldn't be too upset.

If we had a special teams coach that could teach our guys not to block in the back, I think Banks returning would be a given.
