    Default Brandon Banks: Clash Time--Should He Stay or Should He Go? (MET)

    I think it's time. Banks is bringing nothing to the table on returns or offense. I would cut him this week and let others handle returns. In terms of the option back, we could use someone like Robinson...he might have more ball security anyway.

    Our offense is progressing to the point where we don't have to pray that we return punts or kick offs for TDs. The most important thing about our return game with RG3 under center is to get the best field position you can and not fumble.

    Maybe, maybe not, but we are using him on offense and defenses have to account for him.

    If you cut him who are we adding?

    Couldn't agree more TD_w.

    But he's here for another 10 games. It just is what it is until the next off-season.

    Dude c'mon this is a bad thread. Not all thoughts should be threads or even said aloud. I'd say this falls into that category.

    Used to be a big banks fan, still believe he can and will make a serious impact this season

    I've been over him since preseason.

    We've got a few guys on the team that can take his spot in the "Banks Package" as it's came to be called.

    I don't care. Add an OL or DB and hope you find a diamond in the rough. Do you believe that people have to account for Banks more than they'd have to account for Moss or Robinson in the same position?

    The way kickers are kicking off to us -- through the end zone -- Banks has been nullified. No sense keeping him on the roster to return punts. We can find someone else there.
    Can move Paul to special teams. Morgan can also return kicks.
    Both have kinda shaky hands though.

    When? Has he done anything that someone else in his position couldn't have done? I'm not being snarky, but I remember one or two decent carries he's had in that package and I don't think he's done anything more than take what was there. The kicker for me is that sooner or later he's going to lose some of those fumbles.

    Dude is an absolute waste of a roster spot.

    Not to mention there's a good chance he'll fumble when hit. Dude has blazing speed, but can't take any contact. He's too frail. I'd much rather see someone like Robinson get a crack at returning kicks in his place. Robinson can at least contribute on offense.

    fantastic both as a threat and a decoy on some of those weird triple options and other formations. still convinced he could take it to the house on a return as well. not sure what the downside is to keeping him around. it's not like there are dudes who would otherwise contribute points getting benched in his stead.

    They utilize banks differently than moss and Robinson in a different way. Moss has the experience, iv been kind of surprised how we've utilized him (banks). I think it adds a different dimension (and I think it could help him succeed), but when a play goes his way and nothing happens then more negative stuff comes up (he hasn't done anything in the return game, his small, he fumbles etc....). Heck Briscoe dropped a wide open pass.

    Anyways, he will get his opportunities to make plays. We may see something, I think he will have his moments, but maybe the consistency isn't there yet?

    He can go, that's my opinion. I think he'll go when we bring Brown off PUP.
