Didn't see this posted but I found it interesting. I'll delete if its somewhere already.

NextGen Stats:

Against 8 defenders in the box, Barkley gained +31 rushing yards over expected on his 36-yd TD run. Barkley currently leads the NFL in rushing yards over expected this season (+114), surpassing Nick Chubb (+104).

They also analyze his 36 yds TD run (attached)

Someone get this guy on the sidelines. I found our next running backs coach.

Pretty sure in 2018

Over 50% of his yards came after contact and he led the league in broken tackles yet somehow, he wasn’t having a good impact, lol.

He seems to be back in 2018 form, we just need the health.

Crossing fingers he remains in one piece.

Barkley was fantastic player in 18

I don’t even think he is back to that level (he may never be) yet which is incredible.

The amount of times he has been referred to as a ‘losing player’ on here has always bothered me.

Almost as if he was touched by -

I think he is a better runner now, than in 08.

Probably. He was 11.

LOL. 18

What is this stat? Who determines it and using what metrics?

It seems rather arbitrary and subjective, even if based on actual data analysis.

(tongue in cheek) I mean my expectation is that he takes it to the house every time he touches the ball the way he is running. So, does that make his production a disappointment?

it's not surprising that his TD run

graded out so incredibly highly. That cut he made in the hole on those 2 Cowboys is the type of explosive move that really only him and a handful of others in the league can make. I completely buy the +31 yards over expectation on that run, most RBs wouldn't have a chance to avoid those two defenders.

There were 2-3 other huge potential gains that Barkley just missed on.
