Title: Pittman, Lewis and Barlow
Post by ugley on Sep 21^st, 2002, 3:00pm

What do you expect from them this year? I hope at this point I will only use them a bye week plug ins. I do expect a major improvement from Pittman but am not sure of the other 2.

Of the three, I actually think Barlow has the greatest upside this year.

The 49 offense is pathetic so far. Part of the problem is Hearst is not doing anything except running in place. I believe he is averaging less than 3 yards a carry. What a better way to improve an offense than change the running back? He is a great talent being wasted.

Well, here are my projections for them:

Pittman (really hasn't changed from my offseason projections) -
1,100 - 1,200 yards and 6 - 8 TD's rushing
400 - 500 yards and 3 - 6 TD's receiving

Lewis -
1,000 - 1,200 yards and 4 - 6 TD's rushing
200 - 300 yards and ? (maybe an odd 1 or 2, but who knows?) TD's receiving

Barlow -
1,000 - 1,100 yards and 5 - 7 TD's rushing
400 - 500 yards and 2 - 4 TD's receiving

Here is a link to a thread that contains posts further discussing the Hearst vs. Barlow sitch:

Hope that helped rather than confused! [smiley=zenmaster.gif]
