I liked what I saw from Barlow. There were times when he looked powerful, and there were times when he looked fast while turning the corner. Houston did well last season and in the pre-season. I want to see Houston get some carries, but as of now, we should all be happy that Barlow has something good to offer. Martin and Jordan are great, but we are not looking bad at the RB position right now. And if our receivers continue to catch everything thrown at them, that's gonna open up things for our runners as well.
In my less than humble opinion, Blaylock is awful. period. Without an all-pro offensive line he is pretty much useless. WhiteShoeWillie could line up in the backfield and do about as much good as he can. Barlow and Houston should be given the nod this week.
