STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Barkley's 865-yard drop under Patullo signals scheme matters; Mannion's Shanahan influence could reverse decline.

Barkley's production dropped significantly under previous offensive coordinator Patullo, rushing for 1,140 yards on 280 carries last season compared to a career-high 2,005 yards on 345 carries in 2024-25. The Eagles' offense finished No. 24 in total offense (311.2 yards/game) and No. 19 in scoring (22.3 points/game) under Patullo. However, new coordinator Sean Mannion brings a Shanahan coaching tree influence with an outside-zone run scheme, more play action, and confusing pre-snap motions, which could improve Barkley's volume and efficiency going forward.
