With Leon Washington emerged and Houston coming back from injury, and Curtis also trying to come back, it's time to cut loose with Blaylock and Barlow. So we traded a 4th round pick for barlow, so what, we should still cut loose. All these 2 guys are doing is wasting roster spots.
Barlow is growing on me as long as he's not used as an every down back. Blaylock can do whatever the hell he wants as long as it doesn't involve the Jets.
Barlow? All you are missing is the red nose man. Blaylock doesn't need to be cut, he can just sit. Barlow is a bruiser and can be used with Washington the next few weeks.
I like Kevan Barlow as a short yardage back and not much more. Blaylock is certainly expendable however.
Yes for the next few weeks. But when Houston comes back, barlow should be cut looose. As Houston is a much better power back than barlow will ever be.
Barlow can stay as long as hes not the feature back. Hes good at the goal line or in short yardage carries.
That seens pretty silly. Barlow was pretty solid. As others have pointed out, he does better in rotation with Leon. Who knows if Houston will be all the way back. Yeah, this was against Detroit, without Rogers, but I'd keep doing what we're doing on the ground. Seems to be working.
Barlow played well, you should have waited a week until you made this thread. Barlow should be a goal line rb and short yardage back, thats a good role for him.
Thats going to far. Barlow is great in short yardage/change of pace back role. He' a good player and he should stay with us, and play in a limited role. The Detriot Lions may have the worst run d in the league now that they lost there good d-tackle, lets not jump the gun.
Barlow's contract is probably too rich to keep him after this season, and since he was traded for I believe there are no cap implications for cutting him, so I think I can agree that he's probably a goner after the season if he doesn't regain the starting spot. Blaylock is like a bag of dirty socks without a solid run-blocking O-line, which we don't have. I can see them both being cut after the season. Or traded.
barlow is an animal on the goal line leon can do the barry sanders thing, and then put in kevan on the GL
If that was meant to be funny, it wasn't. Blaylock was another huge mistake by Birdbarin Boobway--we'll take a big cap hit when we cut Blaylock after the season, but not unlike most of Boobway's other stupid moves.
