Brandon Banks

If he returns another punt or kick for a TD this preseason, he makes the team.

I certainly agree with this assessment...just worried about the little squirt getting crushed.

That kind of speed even makes NFL players nervous. That's crazy hard to do.

I'd say this. SHanny and Allen have this guy on our team and playing. They let him return a fair amount of punts on Fri. They don't seem too concerned with his size. SO I am not going to.

I saw a TD but didn't see any fumbles. So what are we talking about here?

Right before halftime he muffed a punt and then lost 5 yards after he picked up the ball.

That isn't a fumble. He also had several good returns with one being called back.

The Sports Bog pointed out that Randle-Fail had 102 total punt return yards last year. Banks had 97 in one game.

I'd rather have a muffer who can take it to the house and comes inexpensive than have a muffer who dances on his toes and had a big FA contract.

My $.02.

How is that not a fumble? We didn't lose it but it's most certainly ruled a fumble.

I just heard Banks on TheFan. Here's a couple of things he mentioned during the interview:

* He can to camp weighing 146 lbs; now he weighs 151 lbs and that's where he'll stay, per the coaching staff.

* Said he never raced Chris Johnson, but they do know each other from East Carolina. He and John Wall are pretty tight too. They grew up together and have known each other since he was 6 years old; Wall was at the game Friday. I guess the little dance he did after he scored was a tribute to Wall.

* Said he ran a 4.2/40 on his pro day in college. Said Tampa was the only other team he was considering.

I think Banks makes the team or at the very least goes to the practice squad. Seems like Shanny and Danny Smith are going to work with him on the fumbling and muff issues.

As I said earlier, I am concerned about his hands/ball control but excited about his speed and potential.

I hope he takes one more to the house (think he will) and makes the team. As to keeping him only as a PR...I don't think we will or have to. Set up a block/pick on a screen pass to get him into the open, or a quick inside slant to him and he could be off to the races on offense too.

If we put him on the practice squad...someone else WILL sign him.

I think that if he gets PS'd some other team would be more than willing to give him a shot as a return specialist.
