So what are everyone's thoughts on Banks now, compared to last year?

He started this season well but in the past 5-6 games he has regressed from his early form.

900 snaps, 4 pens, 1 sack

His run blocking is where the dropoff has occurred. His PP is about where it has been all year - average.

teams are lining up more defenders at the line.. he's sometimes getting two guys to block

I haven't noticed him getting a disproportionately higher number of double-team challenges than anyone else. I see him not moving anyone or moving cleanly to hit second-level targets. Brendel has been more effective in the second half of the season in both PP and RBLK.

I haven't given up on Banks. He just isn't making the progress he needs to make.

Man some tough love for the offensive line. They are leaps and bounds better in their last six games over the first six games. We are still running too much into stacked boxes which makes the production in the run game suffer but even then the line occasionally syncs up for a perfectly blocked chunk play with lineman eating up multiple defenders. In pass pro they have far exceeded my expectations. And yeah Banks is a stud. Great pick.

Interesting, Mcglinchey's pass block efficiency went from #29 to #11 ever since Purdy took over. That's promising.

Fans look too much into pff grades and not enough into actual production. The run game is just as good as last season and is better in some ways. We have more explosives but less homeruns. That is the only real difference.

Agreed. Rushing success was everything for us last year. I'd imagine it won't be any different this year in our winning formula.

Rams: 91, 36, 28
Jacksonville: 79, 50, 32

Depends on whether the current qb can hit the open deep shots that will come around.

Not sure what deep shots have to do with running success but OK.

You were speaking of winning formula. Hitting the open deep shots that were abundant in the NFC title game changes the winning formula.

Gotcha. If our run game is stuffed like in those losses, I don't know if the deep shots become the winning formula but they certainly can help.
