what, in my opinion, people are failing to see is that houston and washington are flat out faster and stronger than the other two. They hit the holes when they open and don't jump side to side looking for style points.
Houston hasn't done enough to take ownership of the 'feature back' role for this team. Washington as a rookie has proven he deserves to be in the mix. Barlow is still talented and experienced enough to deserve carries. Our best bet is to use all three and go with whoever is hot at the moment. Until somebody pulls away from the pack there really isn't any reason to go away from a RBBC.
Washington is faster than Houston and Barlow. Houston MIGHT be faster than Barlow. Neither is STRONGER than Barlow.
I was eally surprised and disappointed that Houston was inactive in the first 2 games. I really think highly of him. He looked great in his 2 carries against the Bills.
thats because Sean Ryan was in at FB. hopefully in the draft next year, in round 2 we spend that pick on Brian Leonard. Askew sucks as a FB, and isnt really a HB either. I don't know why he is still on our roster.
