Saquon Barkley might be tipping plays at the line of scrimmage, and it is only a matter of time before opposing teams figure it out.
The Philadelphia Eagles got the win on Sunday, but they struggled a lot all game long.
The Eagles rallied back from 19 points down early in the third quarter to beat the Rams 33-26 at the Linc and improve to 3-0.
Their struggles on offense might be related to their starting running back and what he does before every play.
One social media user noticed that Saquon Barkley tends to keep his head straight forward whenever the team gets set to run. When it becomes a passing play, Saquon moves his head in the direction he knows he has to deliver a block.
There were enough clips in the video to show you how much this could become a problem in the future.
The bad play before their comeback was evident as Jalen Hurts was caught going off on his offensive coordinator during the game. Everything ended up working out for them, including getting away with yet another illegal tush push.
Saquon Barkley is Having A So-So 2025 Season
In Week 4, running back Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles will meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It will present yet another time to see if he can finally have a breakout game in 2025.
The Philadelphia Eagles running back came into the year after his legendary reverse hurdle, as featured on the cover of Madden NFL 26. He was also named to the Madden 99 Club — a first for an Eagles offensive player.
Barkley, the reigning Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year, is coming off one of the best seasons for a running back in NFL history. During the 2024 season, he rushed for 2,504 yards over the regular and postseason seasons, breaking the single-season record.
So far in 2025, he has 194 rushing yards through his first three games, averaging 3.3 yards per carry. He has also rushed for two touchdowns. Those aren’t mind-boggling numbers, but he is always a threat to bust out, so defenses have to account for him.
