The heat is definitely on Banks. Early in a player's career being one dimensional isn't so bad because teams typically hope they'll develop into bigger roles. Banks hasn't done that so far and he's not elite at what he DOES do well. Something has to give. I still don't think the Skins are all that deep that they'll be forced to cut him, but who knows what happens between now and camp. They could pick up someone who will make it more likely he's gone or another return guy could blossom.
