After an Eagles debut during which Barkley scored three touchdowns, the attention has turned to how to keep him fresh.
For the crowd that isn’t quite as online, Barkley’s value was easy to see in the stat sheet from the Eagles’in Brazil. Barkley, whom the Eagles signed away from the New York Giants to a three-year, $37.75 million deal in March, scored three touchdowns — two on the ground and another in the air — during a debut that featured 109 rushing yards and another 23 as a pass-catcher. It was a performance good enough to be named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
But the heavy workload in Week 1 was enough for Sirianni to be asked Monday about the team’s plan to limit Barkley’s usage to make sure he’s fresh when the Eagles need him most. “With Saquon having that many touches, we’ll have a plan for that this week in practice where we can take some of the load off him there,” he said. “Every game is so important in the NFL that it’s hard to say — and when he’s got a hot hand like that, too — to say, ‘Hey, you don’t want to keep giving him the ball.’ You’re trying to win every single game that you play.Games, Sirianni said, “will take care of themselves as they go.”It is, however, an important topic for the Eagles.
“I’m always going to view it from a play-calling standpoint,” Moore said. “Aggressive calls at times, and I think those are opportunities for us just to grow from, learn from, one being backed up and one in the red zone. Obviously critical situations. Fortunately for us, we were able to come out of it and grow from those, but also avoid, obviously, the big-time negatives.”
Hurts’ interceptions weren’t the only concerns coming off the win. The Eagles had a few gaffes snapping the ball with new center
