Thirtyfive2seven Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Since his knee injury, he really isn't the same dude. I completely agree. I think since he was injured he runs scared. Doesn't trust himself nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngloSackSon Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The final play of the game had me feeling Swinging Gate sick. Banks is garbage among garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCitySkin Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 He doesn't do what he's on the roster for. It would make zero difference having another indecisive runner returning kicks and punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U C S D SkinsFan Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Why is Brandon Banks on this roster? Why is Reed Doughty still here? Why is Danny Smith still here? Why does Kyle Shanahan call **** like 3 outside runs and a screen pass from 1st and goal? Why is Jim Haslett still employed anywhere at all? Why is Niles Paul still out there running routes? Why is Aldrick Robinson getting more snaps than Santana Moss? Why did we have to lose Pierre Garcon for 8 weeks? Why is Brandon Meriweather made of glass? Why did we think we could go out there with Madieu Williams, DeAngelo Hall, Josh Wilson, and [insert safety here] and NOT give up a retarded amount of yards? Why can't we run our defense from from deep in the other team's territory without giving up 70 or 80 yard pass plays? Why can't we get a stop on 3rd down ever? Why do the referees ****ing hate us with a passion?We may never know. lol +11111111111 this is how i feel...so confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 He also cost us an extra play at the end of the game. Any other player who would have caught that play at the end of the game would have smartly tried to go out of bounds or gone down. He ran around in little circles for about 20 seconds to make sure we didn't have enough time to run another play. ---------- Post added November-4th-2012 at 08:51 PM ---------- Why is Brandon Banks on this roster?

I know that RG3 is a big time team player, but after these performances I am scared to death that he is going to ask to be traded, thank god he isn't that type of player though.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The last play was irritating for a couple reasons: 1) stop using Banks in key spots 2) that play was obviously designed for laterals...so why does Banks go down with the ball?

Voice_of_Reason Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 They obviously like something they get out of him, but i'm all for cutting him, he's giving them not that much. Though, I don't know who they really can replace him with, unless a starting safety is walking through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like we finally got a new engine for our car and the wheels fall off, the muffler stops working, the intake gets clogged, the flywheel cracks, and something happened with the transmission but no one is quite sure what. And when you roll up to the dealer to fix it, they're like "Sure, total repairs will be $4000, except we're only allowing you to spend $500 on repairs." And Snyder says "You can't repair ANYTHING for $500, much less everything." And from behind the counter, a man in a blue uniform with the nametag "Mara" smiles, and say "I know."

RandyHolt Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have assumed it is because he is our #2 or #3 RB. ARE would be proud of his final play today, only it wasnt a PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyfar Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Did you all see RGIII's reaction to Banks' jukin and jivin on that last play? Banks only seems to show up in preseason. He'll get a big return or two to secure his spot on the 53 man roster and then it seems as if he runs directly to tackles once the real games start. That along with that bs play at the end of the game convinced me that I've seen enough. That roster spot can go to someone who can really contribute to this team.

DC9 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Because Brandon Banks is the truth and he can touch the ball one time and bring it either (-20) yards or +108 yards.... but all of those minus plays or fumbles are worth it when he can bring the ball back to the 22 yard line on a kick off. Furthermore... keeping Banks on as a returner instead of getting touches for a guy like Aldrick Robinson, and getting him more comfortable on the field... is by far the right answer. Just ask any Brandon Banks fan. They'll tell you the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
returnofthefunbunch Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Banks is truly a waste of a roster position. He does have good straight line speed, but so do most nfl returners. He fumbles way too often. He tries to make the big play instead of the smart play, and it always seems to backfire. Put Crawford back there to return and see if he can cover any better than our present dbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I asked myself this when he was kept and Cooley was let go.Anyone who though that was a good idea is a damn fool. Will you guys give it a rest? Cooley is not all that anymore and was NEVER elite. I agree, Banks should not have been brought back, but that goes the same for Cooley. In all honesty, I would not have brought Moss back either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, its always a good sign when your star franchise QB looks to the sidelines and throws up his hands in a "wtf?" gesture while the play is still going on and Banks is over there going 1 on 9, on a mission to run every last second off the clock.

SkinsCrushCowboys Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I was not sure what we went to him three times in key situations, but the coaches must see something in him. I do not know that he adds much value. Great straight line speed, but unfortunately there are very few plays that call for straight line only. The play where the ball bounced over his head and he went back to get it showed (IMO) poor judgement. There are bigger concerns right now than Banks. It would appear that his contributions have been minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trashman Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I agree he has regressed. I used to love watching him score long returns but not anymore. Funny thing is, we will watch him get cut and then he will end up with another team, another BETTER coach and start to score big TDs again. That's how it works around here.
