From the episode

In the first half, 11 carries for 73 yards, and then just four carries in the second half...the rushing environment is washed for, you know, four straight quarters...the passing offense, if they get in trailing situations, can't keep up. And that leads to them totally abandoning the run in the second half.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Barkley's workload volatility tied to Eagles' run abandonment in trailing situations.

In Week 3, Barkley received 11 carries for 73 yards in the first half but only 4 carries in the second half, reflecting Eagles' abandonment of the run in trailing situations. While Barkley himself does not look washed as an individual player, the rushing environment is significantly worse; the Eagles' outside zone success rate has declined from 10th to 20th this year, and the passing offense cannot keep pace in trailing situations, forcing run abandonment.
