OH YEAH!!! I expect good things from Washington this week. Although, I have been wrong in the past!!
Barlow is startable as a very weak RB #2. Barlow will not be the third down back and may not even be the goal line back. Rhodes may have a few more weeks of being startable, but soon Addai will get most the carries. Who knows, that could start happening this week. I like Barlow slightly better against what has been a non-existant run defense of the Colts.

Call it a gut feeling, but I think the Colts made adjustments this week and will play pretty well against the run today. I'm pretty sure they don't fear the Jets vertical game and will play 8 in the box. Just a gut feeling is all.
Edited to say that even though the Jets vertical game isn't scary, the Colts do have a lot of injuries to their DBs. Maybe they can't play up to stop the run

Washington will be the third down back. I don't think they are looking at Washington as the feature back yet. I see only 4-5 carries for Washington with another 5-6 catches. If Indy turns it into a blowout, Washington may see more action in a hurry up offense.
Like the adjustments the Colts made after the Giants ran for almost 200 yards against them? Even Dayne/Gado/Lundy even ran for over 100 against the Colts. Then Jax ran over them last week. Colts run defense needs more than a tweak.

I have a choice between Washington and D Williams. I am going with Williams. I kept D Dvis and S Alexander from last years league champoinship team. 0-3 this year.

Good looking out, your post was final convincing I needed to put Barlow back in my lineup at 12:59:47
Did the stats show he was carted off?

I missed that. What's his injury?

Why on earth would anyone say Barlow might not be the goalline back... if he's anything in NY, that's what he is...
Houston hyperextended knee, out 2-4 weeks. And Houston getting a shot wasn't surprising at all - it's only Sportscenter-watching live-score-checking out-of-towners who got wood for Washington this past week. The guy is a 3rd-down back, and the Jets are not fed up with their other backs. Barlow continues to be a very good goaline back (4 rushing TDs, most in AFC) and when the line gives him a block, he makes something happen at the second level. Houston has always looked good on the field, he just has serious pass-blocking issues that have held him back. Washington is also not a good pass-bloker.
What does it all mean? Well, over the next 2-4 weeks, the Jets will activate Barlow, Washington and Blaylock. Presumably, Barlow is going to be getting the majority of the carries, but I suppose Blaylock will get another shot to be productive. Washington brings some big-play ability, and I expect him to continue to get 3rd down work.

That's the way I see it and that's coming from a Barlow owner.

Maybe, but it probably depends how the rest of the crew does the next few weeks.
Nice post. If you've been watching the games, I'd be interested in hearing more of your thoughts about the Jets run game. 22nd in yards, 30th in ypa. That's not good, but I'm a live-score-checking out-of-towner, so I don't really know why the numbers are low or if I should expect it to change, like if the OL will improve.

Possibly... but I doubt he'll see any significant time. Barlow has been "good enough" and Martin is supposedly possible to return before Houston will be back.In either case, I see Barlow as the back to have on the Jets.
