with Barkley running the ball, you know, getting, you know, something like seven yards a clip...I saw a lot of stretch zone with Barkley...a lot of horizontal stuff

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Barkley averaged ~7 yards per carry in Eagles' horizontal stretch-zone scheme with mixed results.

Saquon Barkley was featured in Philadelphia's horizontal stretch-zone scheme in Week 1, averaging around seven yards per carry; the Eagles' offensive design emphasized horizontal plays and screens to set up play-action deep shots, though many of these horizontal plays were blown up in the backfield, limiting the effectiveness of the scheme.
