Part 5/8:
Deontay Banks: Parsing Expectations
The show proceeds to provide a detailed analysis of cornerback Deontay Banks, who struggled to meet expectations in his second year. Justin points out Banks' efforts to improve his game, noting certain metrics that indicate growth. However, the lingering concern is around his ball skills and his ability to handle the responsibilities of covering opposing team’s wide receivers effectively.
While both Bobby and Justin acknowledge that Banks showcased moments of improvement, they concur that many of his flaws were exacerbated when challenged against the league's top wideouts. The discussion evolves into whether Banks can flourish in a number two cornerback role instead of being thrust into the top position.
