Goodbye Brandon Banks?

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

I may be in the minority here, but I hope he sticks. I still like the guy, and I like the wrinkle he added to the triple-option.

I am glad that Shanahan has given the opportunity to KR/PR as Banks has struggled this season. With Jacoby Jones returning for Baltimore special teams could've been a huge advantage for Baltimore instead we were able to hold our own. Whoever is back there next weekend, I hope they can build on the momentum from this week.

Shanny's advice to Banks: "Keep on working. I'm not sure when your next opp. will come. Even if you're working scout team you can help us."

That interference call was just awful. In fact, he played it PERFECTLY. He made a mistake on a return, but hes better than Banks. Banks can't pack his bags quick enough. Really sick of seeing screens to ARE.. err Banks. Same thing.

Well being picky, I thought Paul should have stayed in front of Jones. If he does that, he gets the ball that Jones fumbled.

Paul does need to work on his hands a bit.

Banks has fumbled (and recovered) his fair share of returns too, so Pauls doing the same doesnt concern me... yet. What i like about Paul is he's fast and runs straight - instead of running in circles and sometimes backwards, trying to make something happen. He also has size that can help him potentially break a tackle and get a a few yards after contact.

Im ecstatic that, after years of sticking with an inept returner, Danny Smith is finally going with more talented guys, who can help make plays for us. We won the game yesterday because Crawford returned a great punt in OT. Its a very small sample size, but i'm very excited about the possibilities with our return game.

i don't remember seeing so many offsetting penalties in one game

The Redskins played a great game. It was a thrilling hard fought victory. Congrats to Garcon, Cousins, Morris, Forbath, and Crawford.

[REDSKINS4ever]

I don't trust Niles Paul on kickoffs. Granted fumbles do happen but that fumble yesterday that he committed could have lost us the game. I'm not sure if Crawford's huge punt return marks the end of Brandon Banks, but Mike Shanahan and Danny Smith would be wise to keep Banks for depth purposes.

What depth? Banks offers nothing

Smoot, that may be true. But if Banks is so worthless, then why hasn't Mike Shanahan made a move on him, especially given yesterday's topflight performance on punt returns by Richard Crawford who received a game ball from the head coach? Banks is worth something if very little. If he wasn't Shanahan would have cut Banks like he did with John Beck.

I actually would cut him and bring in a kickoff specialist. More value at this point.

This. Banks is a preseason superstar. Nothing more.

Banks absence from the active roster is a good thing no doubt. Paul shouldn't be allowed to touch the football though, on offense or teams. With Banks out of the picture he's the worst offensive player we have.
