Yahoo Sports NFL on Saquon Barkley

Barkley's minus-3 yard micropass and drop reflect flawed Eagles screen design.

RB Saquon Barkley caught one micropass (pass of less than five air yards) for a loss of three yards and dropped a second one in Week 1; the source criticizes the Eagles' play design requiring Barkley to backpedal from the line of scrimmage, then wait flatfooted for a pass about five yards deep with Goedert and Wicks as lead blockers, questioning why they don't use a 'normal' running back screen instead.
