Barlow just isn't very good. He's your classic tweener back, not powerful enough to be a power back, and not fast enough to be a quick back. There's nothing he does really well.
I agree. The only time he hits the hole hard or refuses to go down after initial contact is in the redzone. Glad that I'm not the only one who notices.
a.k.a. the most important part of the field. We can use the other guys to get us there but if he can consistently punch it in, that is good enough for me.
I don't have any problem with it, as long as they stop relying on him everywhere else. The other problem is that maybe he's just working hard in the EZ to meet incentives, in which case he can go suck an egg.
