and that size makes him hard to see behind all the taller blockers in front of him.. but with that he is more likely to get injured

Who is the fastest on the team?

Im gonna say: 1. Hall 2. RG3 3. Robinson

Banks runs a 4.5? Did he have a weight problem in obesity ?

Ideally he should be able to squeek in between blockers but I think most ST guys are so agile they can adjust/react and still get to Banks. I would much rather have a guy who's fast and can break some tackles.

Probably Torrence but should he count as a backup? Fastest starter is probably Hall...

great point ... look I've loved watching Banks take em to the house just as much as anybody else but let's be real .. the NFL is making the return game harder each year and that's all he does .. now if he can play WR in some way shape or form that's different but I just don't see it ? I don't think he's on the team, I kinda hope i'm wrong but that's just because I do have a soft spot for the dude.

Unless you're one of are STAR players, you need to play more than one position we have a Long Snapper (luxury position). IMO that's enough I think Banks will be gone.

So I guess Usain Bolt would look like a blur if he was 5'6 by your logic.

I always forget Armstrong is still on the team, why is that? Oh that's right, last year's complete disappearing act...might have to start refering to him as David Copperfield

I think he's saying that because his legs are so short they are actually rotating more than someone that was 6'5" going the same speed.

Yeah I like his returns as well but the problem is we only see returns for TDs in the preseason. So we can get rid of him and I won't be sad.

One of the things I loved about Banks was the excitement he brought when he stepped on the field. I remember being at the Packers game 2 years ago, and we needed that spark of electricity, and he provided it just when he walked on the field. My hope is that Griffin brings that energy into the offensive huddle, so that Banks enthusiasm and energy becomes less an anomaly and thus less of a need.

Would the redskins consider signing Drayton Florence? I dont know much about him, but I think he is considered a good CB.
