Can we expect anything out of Barlow? (1 Viewer)

[Rooni]

I took him late in a few drafts, and would love to spin him off if he could show some promise, but his limited action with the Jets thus far doesn't lend much hope.

I guess I don't understand why he couldnt be a decent sleeper?

He is still young enough.

End of short ramble.

Any thoughts?

The only thing we can expect is that he wont start for anyone in 2007.

You speak the truth

He was acquired just 10 days ago, hence lack of preseason action. Blaylock is strictly a 3rd down back. Barlow should be the lead guy there by default within the month.

Don't expect miracles, but he's a good enough receiver to end up with 1000-1200 tot yds and 5-6 TD's.

They didn't invest a pretty high draft pick and some cap room for him to ride the pine.

Blaylock will be this year's Willie Parker for the first 4 weeks. Ride a monster game against Tennesse for about 4-5 weeks. Parker actually did somethning after that, but I can't see Blaylock being able to move the chains against good defenses. The guy runs into the pile and has no moves, just tries to get a few yards every carry. At some point, he has to have some vision and make cuts.And no I'm not a Barlow owner, I'm actually a realistic Blaylock owner.

I'm not sure why everyone says that Blaylock can't be a feature back. In 2004, when he had a chance to carry the ball for KC he put up very solid numbers, including a 4 td performance against ATL and a 186 yd effort against NO:

2004 Kansas City 12 118 539 4.6 8 25 246 9.8 1

He only played in 12 games, though, does anyone know if he was hurt?
