In the end, Banks burned the Jaguars for five touchdowns passes and personal redemption. They try to make you methodically move the ball down the field. And they were going against somebody like me who doesn't like checkdowns. Those aren't words usually associated with the old Tony Banks. Having him throw checkdowns is like having Mark McGwire lay down bunts.
Banks loves going for the deep plays.
On Sunday, a new Banks emerged. He was patient and he's not known for that. He was very well coached. He's not known for being patient, but he knew exactly where he wanted to move the ball. In the first half, the Jaguars had Banks where they wanted them.
