STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Barkley's home-run approach worked with open lanes; struggled vs. stacked boxes.

Saquon Barkley's running style has historically involved seeking home runs rather than taking guaranteed short gains; this approach worked well when lanes were wide open but became problematic last year when the Eagles' passing game struggled early, forcing more defenders into the box against him.
