I mean, every DT is elite, for at least that game, when they line up over MM.

Whenever there is a decent gain Banks is on the scene helping someone up. He is usually the first guy downfield.

Aaron Banks is playing at a very high level. Perfect example of not giving up on players to early AND giving them actual playing time
To develop. It's looking like he was worth a 2nd rd pick and it would have really hurt us if this kid was a dud. Still early to but after 8 games, Aaron Banks is looking like a good to very good NFL starting offensive guard 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Banks has been incredible considering everything. Maybe there was a lot of truth to shanny saying he was ready past year but they didn't want to screw w the continuity.
We are getting similar performance to Tomlinson on a dirt cheap contract. This is what it takes. I also love that banks is always so front and center on every TD celebration, congratulating his teammates/etc. He had all kinds of s**t talked about him by the fan base and quietly went about his business until he got a chance

Happy to eat crow here, he's been balling. Looks like a long term fixture at LG.

I don't think Banks was ready tbh. He was out of shape 100%. That being said, I don't think it takes much to be better than Brunskill.

People should understand that sometimes Kyle just wants to "redshirt" certain rookies that are drafted even if it's a high draft pick. That's pretty much what he was doing with Trey and there's a couple others I can't think of offhand. That's just his MO with certain rookies. Oh yeah, Jennings was another one. Sometimes it pans out great and sometimes not.

Well besides the multiple reports that Banks had completely transformed his body this offseason. We did see him in the preseason and he looked okay. I think he's improved. I never said he wasn't worthy of starting last year. But the coaches said his conditioning was an issue last year. It could have been an excuse. As you said, I'm not at the practices.

You literally said you didn't think he was ready. Based off what? Some beat reporters watching warm ups before practice starts. Why listen to multiple reports when the coach said he was ready to play later in the season. Now he hasn't given up a sack over 8 games kind of confirming what head coach said.
