When Saquon Barkley returns, we'll have to see if this pattern holds...if the running game is bad and they can't generate pressure, we'll see a lot more pass attempts in the 5-10 yard range and they'll almost abandon the running game.
STACKED’s take
Barkley's return could shift Eagles to run-heavy approach, but passing volume depends on run game effectiveness.
Saquon Barkley's return from injury will reshape the Eagles' offensive approach. The source expects that when Barkley returns, the Eagles may reduce pass attempts and rely more on the running game; however, if the running game remains ineffective and the team cannot generate pressure, the Eagles may abandon the run and rely heavily on passing, which would limit Barkley's usage and touchdown opportunities. Additionally, Barkley's return will determine whether the Eagles maintain their current passing volume inside the red zone—with Barkley back, the Eagles may revert to more run-heavy goal-line usage. The Eagles are moving away from the tush push strategy (only two of six carries within the 2-yard line in 2024 were Jalen Hurts' tush push attempts, and Shipley has been receiving goal-line carries), which could open more opportunities for Barkley in short-yardage situations.
