Eagles <\/a>running back Saquon Barkley<\/a> feels confident in the team\u2019s chances on rebounding from a disappointing 2025 season based off a meeting he had with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Barkley was a guest on the NFL Network show \u201cThe Insiders\u201d <\/a>Friday. During his appearance, he shared his early impressions on the new scheme that Eagles will be using. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m super excited about it,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cI\u2019m going on Year 9, which is crazy to say, and I\u2019ve had a lot of different coaches and head coaches and been a part of a lot of systems. I don\u2019t think I really came across a system like this. For me\u2026it\u2019s refreshing. You get something new, you get to learn something new.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barkley said that he has met with Mannion and some of the other coaches this offseason in more of a get-to-know-you atmosphere instead of dissecting the playbook. After that meeting, Barkley is feeling confident about what the offense could do next season. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou love the challenge of putting yourself in a new system and doing the things that you do really well and also things that you need to improve on, and that they\u2019re going to challenge us to do it,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cI feel like we are able to have that mindset as an offense and buy into that. I think the sky is the limit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last season, the Eagles offense finished 24th in the league in total offense averaging 311.2 yards per game. The team was also 19th in points per game (22.3). The totals led to the Eagles moving on from former offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and signing Mannion to the staff to replace him. <\/p>\n

With Mannion\u2019s arrival, the Eagles will be switching to the Shannahan-style offense next season, the scheme that is used by teams such as the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers, where Mannion was the quarterbacks coach last season. <\/p>\n

Barkley said based on the scheme, it will look different from what the Eagles did last season. <\/p>\n

\u201cFrom everything that was told, it is very creative and super smart,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cAll the guys that we hired are super smart and competitive. They want to be great and they\u2019re excited with the talent that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we will buy into everything that\u2019s new and continue to have our standard and all the things that we do at a high level,\u201d Barkley continued. \u201cI feel like what we did last year is going to be in the past. You have to learn from it, and I think that we have the guys that are willing to learn from it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eagles running back Saquon Barkley feels confident in the team\u2019s chances on rebounding from a disappointing 2025 season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2068],"tags":[25,7,6,31185,96625,242,109,2476],"class_list":["post-771083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-philadelphia-eagles","tag-eagles","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-nflraw25","tag-nflraw26","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-philadelphiaeagles"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116120149452008359","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=771083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771083\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=771083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=771083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=771083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
