Three if you count our team. |
+1
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. |
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?).
