NIGHT STALKER Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Look for Kevan Barlow's role to increase in the coming weeks, perhaps this week. As a show of support, the Jets quietly re-negotiated Barlow's contract, guaranteeing $1 million of his $2.5 million base salary. It lowers his 2006 cap number by $666,000, but it adds $333,000 in each of the next two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireJet38 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I don't think Blaylock will be entirely useless, he's just not an every down back, at least not one behind a novice O-line. Sure, he looked great in KC, Little John Flowers would run for a grand behind willie roaf and richardson. He can be a thrid down back though, spread out as a reciever, and utilized in that mold till Leon Washington is ready to take over for him full time in that role. Then, bye bye Blaylock.

SoFlaJets Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 that's cool DJ I just don't like the tenative way he attacks the line-he IS fast and might be able to "Meggett-it" for us on 3rd downs,then again so could Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Preach on, my brother. I'm serious JM I've seen NOTHING from this guy since he arrived last year-at least a guy like Houston tries harder with probably a lot less God-given talent.Barlow too has a lot of potential-he's proved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I happen to think that Barlow has talent that will only get better with touches...Ramsey on the other hand is, "what you see is what you get."

JetCane Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well, I happen to think that Barlow has talent that will only get better with touches... Agreed. If barlow can get on track, it will take some pressure off the passing game, and make the OL look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I am not saying Barlow is the next Gale Sayers but the games i have seen him play he is a back that runs with authority into the line-something Blalock can not do with his stature. I think we will see more of him in the lineup once Mangini is comfortable he knows the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 At least Barlow is a back that always seems to get positive yards, even when he appears to be wrapped up. Blaylock on the other hand.....sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaylock on the other hand.....sucks. Well thats not exactly true. The year before last Barlow led the league in negative plays. Plays that resulted in a loss of yards. Ya i know, so did Barry Sanders, blah blah whatever. Barlow is not Barry Sanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes some kind of crazy orichetti with pears. Good stuff. I wouldn't be afraid of their little Haka dance, but if they are they good, I might be scared anyway. Not sure what it has to do with Barlow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston last season seemed to try to keep going after initial contact. Blaylock seems to go down immediately unpon contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya i know, so did Barry Sanders, blah blah whatever. Barlow is not Barry Sanders. He played for the absolutely worst team in the league by far, a team that had no offensive line. Any back needs some contribution from the line. In the years prior to that when the niners were semi respectable, Barlow was a tough, solid back.
