Re: Brandon Banks
5'7 142 lbs isn't going to cut it in the NFL.

Re: Brandon Banks
He has Jermaine Lewis (Ravens) potential, maybe...but even the tiny Lewis was 5'7" and 183.
Jermaine Lewis NFL & AFL Football Statistics | Pro-Football-Reference.com It's really depends on what he does in these first few preseason games. He needs to break a few long ones and HOLD ONTO THE BALL. If he doesn't really "wow" us, Austin will likely make it ahead of him.

Re: Brandon Banks
We're gonna find out. He's probably gonna get a real good look to see if he can hold up. As quick and fast as he is he can probably avoid 98% of the kill-type shots but hopefully he'll get lit up once or twice and we can see if he can handle it. If he can then I don't see how we let the guy off our roster. He's got special speed and quickness. Essentially if he was 4 inches taller and weighed 30 lbs more he is a top 3 draft pick. He reminds me so much of Hester in the way he just has crazy joy-stick like speed.

You don't avoid kill shots returning kicks....you take them more than almost any other position...due to the 40 yard head of steam bearing down on your freakin' head. You think if he was 5'11" and 185 he'd be the 3rd pick in the draft just because he's fast?....i don't think so...perhaps he would be a mid rounder if he were a different size. The dude only had 1 TD and 700 yards last year as a reciever. Imagine this guy as a wideout...a 200 lb corner would literally throw him like a little girl off the line...I really dont see why he is wasting a NFL spot...this guy is dead meat...and it's a bit embarrasing to have a guy smaller than a 8th grader on our team...the guy is gunna get killed out there.

Punt returners can take big hits but they aren't that common. Kickoff returners often take bigger hits but they run directly into the kickoff coverage and they don't have the option of fair catching a ball in play. Do you remember Dgreen Dante hall taking any kill shots? You play the guy in the slot and that solves the problem of him getting off the line. Even if he was split wide, most corners are going to have to respect his speed and give him some cushion, if not, easy six for us. His size is not that uncommon. Mark McMillan had a solid 8 year career at corner. That guy had to deal with every single player trying to run him over and he held his own. I'm not going to start the Brandon Banks Mancrush fanclub but he deserves a shot. |

Re: Brandon Banks
Every time I see or hear Banks I just cringe because all I think about is Tony Banks.

Re: Brandon Banks
This guy will never start a football game in the NFL, he'll be lucky to be invited to the practice squad. Just too small.

Re: Brandon Banks
If the WR spot is still an issue, and it was obvious the Skins were not going to pick up T.O., why don't they look at Keyshawn Johnson? I just saw him on ESPN and wondered why they don't try to offer him a decent contract. I mean it can't be age cause they have Galloway. lol.

Intuitively, it probably matters, but Galloway has declined pretty far in the last two seasons despite his best efforts to keep himself in top football shape.
