Maybe when he was the only person with playmaker ability on the team. Yes, he has great speed and sometimes makes plays. He is also inconsistent.

Perhaps the coaching staff has seen enough of other players to believe that they offer a different both consistency and some playmaking ability than Banks.

Let's remember, Banks big plays came against a team with bad scrubs. His ability to make plays was last year and against non-scrubs competition this preseason was not so stellar. Essentially, he's a great player for a bad team, but an average player at best for a good team. I like the kid but just don't think he's all that when playing against the big boys.

He had his shot last year to be a difference maker and failed. What has he done this preseason that is any different than last year's preseason that would lead you to believe he will do better this regular season as opposed to last?

I like the kid, I believe he will be claimed immediately after being cut. I also believe, however, he will have a non-descript season. He is simply not the second coming of Devin Hester.
