I thought today was a telling performance from Barkley. It wasn’t bad, and his vision on the TD run was impressive. But, watching Brian Robinson run for WAS, I thought he was the better back today.
Barkley was single handedly winning games earlier this season. He hasn’t been the same. In addition there are way too many negative plays. Losing 3 yards on a first down happens too often with him and the offense can’t overcome it.
And if Barkley is banged up, that’s a different problem.
Brian Robison had better lanes to run through. He’s not a better player than Barkley. We didn’t run block for shit today.

^This, although teams play a lot of eight man boxes against us because our WRs are so poor. We couldn't do that against Washington because they have at least three NFL caliber WRs, along with Logan Thomas, a serviceable TE.
I still don't understand why Brightwell and Breida get so few touches.
I am not sure why we are not using Breida and Brightwell a bit more for physical runs .

Care to share your evaluation process?
Oh, thats right, it's merely just a poorly formed opinion nevermind.

The irony...
The guy in the top 5 in rushing, against stacked boxes, in the NFL, sucks. The guy not in the top 15 in passing yards or passing TDs is indispensable. Keep fighting the dumb fight.

Evaluations. Barkley has gone back to turning his back on contact a lot, hesitates into piles and just is lacking that dominant persona, dominating presence.

Who is dumb? How many yards did Barkley have in the second half? Does Jones need to pick him up and carry him too?

DJ carrying anything offensive? That's funny! The reason Saquon struggles is because defenses have no respect for DJ. Keep focusing on SB, but ignore that your man-crush had 136 yards passing in 4 quarters against 8 in the box.
Let the excuses flow...

Also, smarty...how many yards did DJ throw for in the 2nd half?

See how you turn any argument against Jones. I am talking Barkley, and your relentless campaign to bring Jones into every argument is pathetic .
I rarely see him make years after contact. He runs soft.
For me, neither of them has shown me that it is important for the future of this team that they be retained.

It's a stupid argument. Teams load the box to stop Barkley...they don't use extra DBs to stop DJ. That should makes DJs job much easier, but it doesn't.
To recap...SB makes DJs job easier. DJ makes SBs job much harder. It's not rocket science...this isn't a Saquon problem. It's having a QB the defenses are6 afraid of...that's why Saquon struggles. If Saquon was running against 7 in the box, he'd be killing it...but DJ would be even worse.
This roster Dabol inherited is lousy and will take time.

Barkley is 4th in the NFL in total yards after contact behind Josh Jacobs, Derrik Henry and Nick Chubb

That's definitely soft! He should be top 3! This thread...
Here come the "stats don't matter" comments.
Seems most likely that he has been playing hurt and/or is missing the offensive linemen who were knocked out by injury.
Since this is his contract year, you can be sure he is giving it his best effort.
I think the fact they didn't reach an agreement over the bye is telling of his future. And he is playing like it.
This roster Dabol inherited is lousy and will take time.
Even if B and C were true...how would A and D make teams load the box? A bad OLine would require fewer in the box, as would a RB making bad decisions. Odd that a RB with poor decision making and a bad OLine could be 4th in the NFL in rushing, unless he was a really talented MFer worthy of the franchise tag?
Also, DJ limits what DJ can do. The roster change at QB will come faster than you think.
I do not have any interest in a long term deal.
Great guy, great talent. But just bad business giving a guy with his injury history a long term deal, especially when this team is still far away from competing for a super bowl.
I would let Jones walk and franchise Barkley and go from there
It’s been a problem for years. Put the blame where it belongs.

Such a stupid argument. If DJ wasn't mobile Barkley would look way worse. If you watched the game today, his TD run came because the Wash ILB was completely focused on DJ and vacated the middle of the field following him. Pretty much the only reason Barkley has his best run of the day.
Barkley TD - ( New Window )
exactly. he mirrored Jones. That could have been his job, but I am sure someone else was tasked with Barkley. probably a miscommunication or blown assignment. Hard to see from that angle.
