Mike Shanahan says Brandon Banks must take care of ball
"The one thing Brandon will do is he’ll look at the punt, he’ll look at the coverage – sometimes he’ll take his eye off it at the last second and still get on the football," Shanahan said.

That will be a big emphasis, and Brandon knows that."
