    The difference is when barlow is hit at the line he goes down immediately, and has absolutely no shiftiness.

    Houston actually hits the hole hard, and can also make defenders miss.

    You can't be watching if you do not think Barlow hits the hole hard.

    Barlow is hardly the answer, don't get me wrong, but he's hardly garbage. He's MUCH BETTER around the goalline.

    barlow s nowhere near as explosive as houston is at hitting the hole. houston dont dance strictly north south. that comparison isnt accurate.

    I think Leon is more effective when paired with another back. I don't know that he'll ever be a 25 carry a game guy. It seems that he works best as a change of pace counter point to a bigger "between the tackles" HB.

    2004, I agree. Leon isn't ready for the load and if he is carrying early and always I could see him getting deflated fast. This is our secret weapon- spread the load and the carries.
