Thread: Is Brandon Banks potential turnovers worth it?

    Is Brandon Banks potential turnovers worth it?

    This guy makes me entirely too nervous returning the football. It seems every game there is a fumble or bumble of the ball in the return game. At some point, he is going to turn the ball over.

    i still think we should let Banks go . . . Robinson or Paul can return kicks and Robinson or Moss can return punts . . .

    When was the last time he made a meaningful return in a game that counted? Yet he continues to skirt the turnover issue each and every game, laying the ball on the carpet. Not worth the risk considering the lack of reward.

They are nasty to confront but cowards at heart and will usually hide or play dead when challenged

    Banks scares me as well and is a wasted roster spot if you ask me

    On that 66 yard punt, he ran completely sideways and lost 3 more yards. He refuses to take what is there and is always looking for the homerun. Not a playmaker.

    I understand the dilemma with Banks from a coaches position. As of right now, if you cut him, who do you sign to take his roster spot and why? It has to be someone who can be a part of the active 46 every Sunday, otherwise, what's the purpose of making the move? I don't think Cooley is an option as he doesn't represent an upgrade over anyone else. I think RGIII favors throwing to WR's as much as anything, which is the reason for Fred Davis not being that involved. RGIII wants to go downfield. He is a passer.

    Even if you cut Banks for a DB, is he going to be good enough to be active on Sundays and make a contribution? There aren't many starting caliber SS, FS or CB's walking the streets this time of year.

    That being said, I still think there is a move that can be made for the benefit of the team if they let him go.

    i'm not sure that is 100% . . . when Davis went out yesterday and Paul was playing there were more targets that went the TE's way . . .

    Possibly, but are they running the same routes, situations different, down and distance, different look from the defense, etc. Safe to say that the Rams probably think Davis is a bigger threat than Paul at this point.
