Re: Brandon Banks
From what I saw on Saturday, he won't make it.
I saw him fumble a return, trying to get an extra yard. Yes he's fast, but I don't think he has the strongest hands to hold onto the ball...or maybe they're just small.
I think Austin has a better chance to make the team as a returner, #5/6 WR.
We have plenty of potentially-capable returners in Moss, Thomas, Buchanon, Hall...maybe even Keiland Williams, Tryon and Torain.
Sure I'm rooting for him and would love to see him make it as a little guy, but up to this point...he won't.
Of course, I'm sure he'll get plenty of chances in the preseason games to do something.
The coaches were really testing him and Austin on returns...sending everyone at them. The vets weren't even getting tackled, but the rookies were.
