From the article

Barkley said he's 'always been intrigued with this kind of system' while observing the success of players from afar. He spoke to Peterson about the depth he should align before the snap, ranging from six yards to eight yards. Barkley said he must be more of a one-cut runner. He believes the protection is friendly to a running back. 'I feel like I have a chance to be really good in this system.'

Barkley bullish on wide-zone scheme; consulted Gurley, Peterson on system fit.

The Eagles installed a wide-zone running scheme with Jalen Hurts more frequently lining up under center. Barkley expressed confidence in the system, stating he has 'always been intrigued with this kind of system' and believes 'I have a chance to be really good in this system' and 'it's going to open things that I may have not been able to show in my career.' He consulted with Adrian Peterson on alignment depth (six to eight yards) and Todd Gurley, whose two best seasons came in this same offense where he made first-team All-Pro both years.
