Saquon Barkley Echoes A.J. Brown's Concerns, Highlights Eagles' Offensive Inefficiency
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley concurred with A.J. Brown's assessment of the team's offense, stating, "A.J.'s not saying anything wrong" and acknowledging their current offensive play "is going to get us beat" despite their 7-2 record. Barkley, who won NFL Offensive Player of the Year last season with over 2,000 rushing yards, is significantly off pace this year with 579 yards through nine games and a reduced 3.9 yards per carry. He ranks 37th in rush EPA, attributing struggles partly to a banged-up offensive line and the new offensive coordinator. Barkley emphasized the team's urgent mindset to improve, recognizing their Monday night performance would typically result in a loss without complementary defense. He also clarified that Brown's public comments haven't affected the locker room.
