Saquon Barkley was held in check on the ground by the Chiefs defense in Super Bowl LIX, but the Eagles found other ways of getting him touches and used him as a receiver several times. Saquon finished w/ 6 rec for 40 yards through the air. #FlyEaglesFly #GoBirds #SuperBowlLIX #RunningBacksMatter

This is when the tears finally started coming for me 🥹 #GoBirds #FlyEaglesFly #SuperBowlLIX

Did Saquon Barkley have the greatest season by a running back in NFL history? If you include the storyline behind it, I believe he did. #RunningBacksMatter #FlyEaglesFly #GoBirds

The greatest season for a RB in NFL history. Already an Eagles 🐐. Congrats, Saquon Barkley. There aren’t many in the world that deserve this more than you!!! #RunningBacksMatter

THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ARE SUPER BOWL LIX CHAMPIONS!!! #FlyEaglesFly #GoBirds #SuperBowlLIX 🦅 🦅 🦅

Saquon Barkley’s blocking reps vs the Commanders in the NFCCG. Out of 9 reps, I’d say there were only 2, MAYBE 3, that you could mark down as losses/minuses. But overall, Saquon was excellent as a blocker! Pancaking Bobby Wagner 🔥 Lead block on Frankie Luvu on the Jalen Hurts TD 🔥

MY GOATS #RunningBacksMatter via Brian Westbrook’s instagram:

Saquon Barkley’s 60-yard TD run = this era’s version of Wilbert Montgomery’s 42-yard run in the 1980 NFCCG. Crack toss run. AJ Brown’s block ends up taking 3 Commanders defenders out of the play. Saquon’s ability to break 2 tackles + vision to cut it back = house call! Epic. Unforgettable.

Saquon Barkley’s 78-yard game-winning TD run! It’s important for RBs on zone runs like this to set a vertical path & press the line of scrimmage first. Look at how hard Verse and Rozeboom crash down as a result. Once they do, Saquon makes a cut to the outside and is gone. #FlyEaglesFly

The game-sealing “house call” by Saquon Barkley lol! Of course, it comes off of a counter run. I’d argue that this has been their best run design overall this year. And honestly, because of that, it’s become probably my new favorite run design, even over outside zone. #FlyEaglesFly

I literally jumped up off my couch and yelled watching this play by Saquon Barkley. My wife even asked me “Whoa, what happened?!” 🤣 As fun of a 2-yard loss as you’ll see. He makes 2 Packers defenders collide with each other!! #FlyEaglesFly

First play from scrimmage for the Eagles offense. Zone run with Saquon Barkley. His tempo, vision, footwork… how he blends it all together is just poetry. Presses vertically first, gets to the next gap, presses again, and THEN bounces when it’s there. #FlyEaglesFly

One part of Chase Brown’s draft prospect evaluation that I was insistent on was that he was a better receiver than many were giving him credit for. That skillset has flourished in his leading role with the Bengals now, as they trust and use him in the passing game a good amount.

This could have been another 4th Q house call for Saquon Barkley, or at worst a huge pickup. Pistol OZ w/ Calcaterra in motion pre-snap to be a blocker. Saquon makes Porter Jr miss, but either JPJ gets just enough of Saquon’s leg to make him stumble, or Saquon missteps on his next move on Kazee.

Saquon Barkley is now the Eagles’ single-season rushing record holder! Eagles run power w/ Mekhi Becton pulling and CJ Uzomah going in motion before the snap to lead. Look at how well Saquon hugs his blocks with the right amount of spacing while also accelerating into the 2nd level. #FlyEaglesFly

Do NOT forget about Jonathon Brooks!! The RB1 from the 2024 draft class showed some impressive flashes of brilliance against the Bucs. Brooks is definitely someone to keep an eye on the rest of the regular season and going into 2025. He has the ability to be one of the better RBs in the NFL.

Kenneth Walker continues to have the absolute best 1-yard runs out of any RB in the NFL. #Seahawks

2nd-half Saquon!!! My breakdown of Saquon Barkley’s game-winning 25-yard touchdown run. 🔈 Audio on 🔈 #FlyEaglesFly

Eagles’ RB screen game: If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. (Audio on) #FlyEaglesFly

I don’t think there’s a RB who consistently forces missed tackles and creates behind the LOS better than Kenneth Walker. He faced defenders in the backfield on 7 of his 14 carries against the 49ers. SEVEN OF FOURTEEN! And get this… he gained positive yards on 6 of those 7 carries (shown below).
