Barkley benefits from Eagles' new Shanahan-style run scheme and healthier O-line.

Barkley is featured in the Eagles' new Shanahan-style outside-zone run game under OC Sean Mannion, which emphasizes under-center formations and play-action fakes; the Eagles' offensive line is expected to be healthier this year after the massive 2024 rushing workload, and the new scheme is designed to make the offense less predictable with more help for offensive linemen.
