Three if you count our team.

And, Banks is not going anywhere. Returners often go stretches without a TD. He's got to have opportunities. I say give Briscoe more PT.

I'm not concerned with this TDs as much as his consistency.
- He is averaging 6.2 yards per punt return. Only one other PR has a lower average with 15 or more attempts (and it's by .1 yard).
- Has negative receiving yards in November.
- He's 20th in the league on kickoff returns

Briscoe has dropped a ton of balls this year. I will cut him some slack, but not much.

I see no harm in signing him, since he does give us some much needed speed and a potential deep threat.

Im tired of people talkimg about speed. Speed dont win games good players win games. We still have one of the best offenses in the league. We have to get better in the redzone and give our receivers multiple opportunities per game to make big plays.

Rg3 gotta go deep at least 4 times per game. You cant go once and to the same giy every week. We use what we have and play these guys to their strengths. Wat happened to the out route that rg3 was so great at they said in camp? Kyle bunch our guys up amd limit ourselves most the time.

Pack dbs and lbs in the middle. you stop rg3s first read. if i know it defensive coaches know it.

- Banks, he's done.

- I expect to see a difference at the WR going into the Eagles game. I expect we'll see more Dez Briscoe, that's if his blocking is up to par. Hankerson has been disappointing to put it mildly. A mix up needs to happen and that's the easiest place to have it occur. Moss has been productive in the slot. Morgan has been stepping up more and more but has a ways to go.

Morgan will eventually be our Gary Clark. I see similarities. He will drop some but make the plays. He was a good pick up.

I'm sorry, Morgan isn't even a Ricky Sanders, let alone a Gary Clark! He isn't a third of the WR Clark was. Clark'$ career (if you count his USFL numbers) are better than or at least comparable to Michael Irvin's and he is in the HoF.

No, Morgan will never be our Clark! The closest player in the NFCE to Clark is Victor Cruise. So, if you think Morgan can develop into a Victor Cruise type player then you have much more faith in JM than I do.

When it comes to returning, you have to wait a bit when looking at averages. He hasn't jumped out to a great start, but if he breaks 1 or 2 long ones, that average jumps quite a bit.

He's no Brian Mitchell. Mitchell would get you 25-27 yards on every KO return. And, 10-15 yards consistently on PRs. But, he was also a different type of specialist. Banks is more of an explosive guy. He'll get one sooner or later. Lets hope sooner.

With KOs from the 35 Brian wouldn't have had as good numbers either.

IMO, Brandons size is really his biggest hurdle. Glancing blows from would-be defenders knock him so far of course that it re routes him. Things that other returners can run through, he has to avoid. In addition, he looks a bit slow prolly due to being banged up.

I'd actually like our converted TE who's name i can't remember get some returns. His size and speed is a better combo than Banks purely speed based attack.

Perfect spot for a late-round rookie DB who has some speed and strength.

What's the current word on Minniefield (spelling?).
