I think that Banks was blanketed on that play. He did well to come back for it.
True.
Listen, I hate to be the negative one, because I like Banks, but what we're seeing is that Banks needs a perfectly thrown ball to contribute. They've thrown to him quite a few times now and he hasn't come close to making a play on the ball. He's even had his hands on it a few times and still didn't come down with the ball. At his size, he's not going to out-jump anyone, doesn't have the strength to muscle the ball for a catch when the DB makes a play on the ball and gets knocked down easily when he and the DB are fighting for the catch.
Weve seen some turrable passes from RexGiii... that long pass, could have been 6 if it was deeper, only thing is RexGiii doesnt have deeper
Agreed, that pass by Rex was under-thrown, but Banks was blanketed on that play. And sometimes WR's have to go up for a catch, something Banks can't do. But it's early. I'm still pulling for the kid.
If you watch the replay of that play - Banks was blanketed, but he found the ball and came back for it. He got his hands on it - yes, a stronger receiver might have pulled it down. On that route you are looking to see if Banks knows how to get open on a go route - Banks learned there that his shear speed is not enough to get open, he needs to develop a move to separate even on a go.
he had at least a step or two or four.. put over his head where only he can catch it and its 6. game set point match all a dat!
CKR, I am not seeing him pulling ahead - That DB was right with him. Perhpas a stronger arm would have allowed him to get by, but how the play played out, he was blanketed. Joey T saw it that way as well.
the joey T card??? COME ON NOW MAN!!! lol doode he had him beat and a deeper probably a lot deeper ball was BBs for the taking. had Garcon and hanktime been in he woulda had a better match up. No way in hell is that play a knock on Banks. please provide a clip and we all can judge
OK, I am going with the SkinsFreak Card! We do not agree on Banks overall, but we agree on that play. So that is Joey T, SF, RO1 vs CKR on that play you still holding out?
CKR, did you see the play when Banks was wide open on the go pattern and Cousins under threw because he got hit - you may have been off line at the time?
