Saquon Barkley had a season for the ages in 2025 and the Philadelphia Eagles are doing everything in their power to ensure a repeat performance.Landing the former New York Giant in free agency proved to be a masterstroke as the running back managed nearly 3,000 all-purpose yards en route to a Super Bowl triumph.Barkley and Jalen Hurts form an elite one-two punchGettyHe touched the ball 482 times over the course of the campaign — the most of any RB since DeMarco Murray racked up 497 for the Dallas Cowboys in 2014.Unfortunately for the Eagles, the numbers suggest that a major regression is pending.Per ESPN, no running back who has accumulated over 400 touches in a season since 2000 has repeated their production in the next campaign.The Eagles are aware of the statistics and their data team break down every touch and what happened on the play.Barkley is essential to Philadelphia’s game plan but offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has discussed spelling the gifted rusher.“We’ve kind of talked about that, he and I have,” he told ESPN. “I think it’s very game-specific. It depends on how the flow of the game goes. “He does a really good job of knowing himself, of knowing when he needs to come out, when he wants to go back in. “So a lot of that will be on him, obviously, during games, and he’s really good about paying attention to that.”Patullo was promoted from passing game coordinator after the previous OC Kellen Moore took the head coach role at the New Orleans Saints.He is not planning on pulling up any trees after Gang Green went all the way and stunned the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty on the biggest stage.Barkley tasted success after one year as an EagleGettyHe was a constant menace behind a fearsome O-lineGetty“We’re still the Eagles offense, and I don’t think that’ll change,” Patullo told NFL insider Dan Graziano. I think it starts with the run game up front and we build from there. “And then obviously we’d like to try new things here and there. So we’ll see how that goes throughout training camp and where it leads us.”How will the Philadelphia Eagles replace Mekhi Becton?The Eagles lost right guard Mekhi Becton, who starred on the offensive line last season, in free agency.But Philadelphia bosses hope a tried and tested formula will help plug the gap.Cam Jurgens played behind Jason Kelce for two seasons before stepping up at center following the all-time great’s retirement and making the Pro Bowl in his first campaign as a starter.Now, 2023 third-round pick Tyler Steen will attempt to do the same.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?Sheen was tipped to start last season before an injury opened the door for Becton to shine.He will also benefit from playing alongside Jurgens, Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson and Jordan Mailata in one of the best units in the NFL.That will be a huge plus for Barkley and quarterback Jalen Hurts as they look to go on another deep run. What is the Madden curse?Barkley is also facing the Madden curse after gracing the cover of the iconic video game — a number of players to be awarded the honor have gone down injured or suffered a loss of form.The rusher is so determined to get off on the right foot that he has been trash-talking the Eagles defense in training camp.“Just friendly competition,” Jalen Carter said. “That’s actually what I like, just have a little energy in practice. “I know we can’t hit each other, we don’t want to hurt each other like that, but just give a little thud and let him know I was there. Just stuff like that. Just friendly competition.”Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our NFL Facebook page, subscribe to our talkSPORT End Zone YouTube channel for all the offseason news, interviews and more
