    It looks as though Kevan Barlow's time as a Jet may be over sooner than anyone thought.

    I'm sure this is just a motivating tactic. Just like that time Mangini said he was starting Cotchery to motivate McCareins.

    I highly doubt they are going to cut Barlow during the season or in the offseason. Not after giving away a draft pick, a 4th rounder wasn't it? They will probably bring someone in (draft or FA) and he will be 3 or 4 on the depth chart after they release Blaylock. But I would lay odds that he will be a Jet next year.

    Sorry I didn't mean they cut him , I meant that I doubt we will see him again playing regularly.
    I would still prefer to see him on goal line situations than any of the other backs though

    I don't want to see Barlow leave. I like him being our Goal Line/Red Zone Running Back.

    I'm glad Barlow might be on his way out. Wasn't really happy with the move to acquire him in the first place.

    I am impressed with the way he's handled the situation, though. I figured him to be the type to bitch and whine about it in front of the media.

    I don't know how much he's getting paid, but I'm sure it isn't cheap. There's no reason to keep paying him only to run in goal line situations.

    Remember when I said before the NE game that that was the exact type of game a guy like Barlow would thrive in?
    What Happened?
    Exactly.

    Funny how the upcoming game in GB is almost the exact type of game and I was thinking it would be another "Barlow Style" game.

    No way if there is a little snow and bad weather we can eliminate Barlow.

    I agree! I don't understand why Mangini wouldn't look to use the guy who performed great in the muddy sandbox up at Foxboro.

    Was the draft pick the Jets gave up for Barlow conditional?

    I never saw good details on the deal so I don't know if it was a 4th round pick or a pick that could turn into a 4th round pick based on certain milestones being reached.

    Good thing Washington and Houstan will be the ones sharing the carries. Washington needs his carries. He once and a while gets break out runs.
