Well, ultimately, Shanahan still has to cut him. Certainly, he started as a long shot to make the roster, and probably is still something of a long shot. I don't know what he's actually planning to do with Brandon Banks on this team, but the cut down is 24 hours away. If you think the decision to cut him has already been made, well, I don't think that's the case.

Someone is going to get cut though, so that's probably Banks until further notice. Again, I've broken down the roster, and I don't think there's a lot of reason to keep both Banks and Thomas (they might, if the receivers on the waiver wire are unimpressive). And I think the decision just has most to do with what they think Banks can be on this team than anything Thomas is/can be.

And I take my chances with Banks on the practice squad. He won't be the last little speedster to come along

Puff, puff, pass. I'm with you on this one.

In this scenario why not just leave Armstrong in the slot? I think he may be perfect for it.

Physical gifts are is nice, but not having the right "instincts" and body control is why Devin is going to be mediocre or just "good depth" instead of a great WR.

Route running is also in important is because your QB has trust the WR will run the correct route. Speed is not always the most important in running routes its coming out of your breaks that make sepration which means quickness is also very important.

Look people we know Moss is money during the season but he has to have another WR to take the pressure off him. I say Thomas or even Armstrong maybe that WR. Galloway will not be much of a impact this season but he will make some plays. I also like Terrence Austins ability to get open and run after the catch ability. Remember he ran punts and kicks back at UCLA. Austin is quick out of his breaks. We have to give our young guys a chance to play they have youth and athletic ability over Galloway. Mile Austin played on the Cowboys when TO and Roy Williams were the focal point but look now he got his chance to play and now he is their #1 WR. Sometimes we most let a young WR get his chance to play. Galloway needs to be released give me Thomas, Moss , Austin, Armstrong and Banks. Youth, Speed and Athletic abiltiy will make plays for us.

How about release Banks and pick up
T.J. Houshmandzadeh

he is a little past his prime but a good possesion receiver and a treat... he would do more than Banks who fumbles a lot. I think the thought of that speed is tempting, but speed will come again. We need to give Mcnabb another target.

Is it possible...?

[tryfuhl]

I think at the possession receiver area we can use our TEs

if we don't feel that we can make them available at most plays it's an option

really at this point I'd love to have Moss in the slot vs Housh or whoever

You are probably right at this point! I guess that the young receivers if they work out will pay bigger rewards the longer they hold on! I guess I still have a little of the old regimes bad habits...like smoking you may know it is bad for you but you still swear it settles your nerves every time you breakdown!!!
