Banked Emergency Descent

Hi all,

I remember during my CPL training we practiced for emergency descents, in the small cessna the drill involved, closing the throttle, RPM full fine, then roll into a steep bank and let the aircraft descend in a spiral. The idea being to reduce the vertical component of lift. I was wondering would this be possible in an airliner in order to increase the descent rate in an emergency, I'm not sure what the standard procedure is but from what i gather there is no bank involved.
