Leon Washington > Kevan Barlow

Barlow pushed his way into the lineup this week with his crying to the NY Times. Mangini better toughen up.

 

I think he should be assuming the same role but with Houston when he gets back. If Houston screws up then its Leon all the way

 

Yeah, I'm sure Leon's standing fumble will go a long way to showing Mangini he deserves the bulk of the work.

Leon has flashes of brilliance, and then a big whiff.

The only franchise RB currently employed by the Jets will probably never play another game.

 

so one fumble is gonna define washington career.. portis was a big fumbler in the begining of his 1st season see how he turned out.

 

I'm not defining his career by a fumble. As a matter of fact, previous to that fumble, I was saying to my brother that I thought Leon finally impressed me enough to be the starter.

However, he makes mental mistakes. That fumble, the lack of ability to read a pass rush and throw a decent block.

Right now, our RBBC is the answer for us. Just because Leon should be the starter for the New York Jets doesn't mean he should be a starter on a playoff team.

His play improves weekly, but until he plays consistently well, I am not ready to declare our search for a permanent RB over.

Your point is well taken. Look at Tiki Barber. Without all the fumblitis, he is one of the best RBs in the league.

He has the potential to be great, but he is still rough around the edges. People take one game and blow it up one way or the other. I just want people to give it some time with this kid.

 

did u see the block he made to keep chad from getting killed on the blitz on the last play of the game?.. washington will be fine.. im much more concerned about chad these days.. as much as i love him he has been liting it up on the interceptions lately.
