Philadelphia Eagles, who plays Super Bowl, was investigated last summer. The reason was that the team acquired a central striker Saquo Barkley In such a hurry, after the free agent market opened that the league had a reason to suspect whether the Eagles had negotiated with the player outside the NFL time window.
Eagles was found to be innocent. Barkley moved to Philadelphia with a three -year and $ 375 million contract for Division Division New York Giants.
The attachment turned out to be a huge success: Super Bowl Sunday, the 28 -year -old central striker (Running Back) won the League Running Arch Status in the regular season by breaking the magical 2,000 yard threshold.
Eagles closely followed by head coach of the Finnish Yankee Fitness Team Mikko Koilainen says that much of the honor is also part of a rational attack line, which has done a good job of clearing the runways and time for Barkley.
However, this is not any runner. Barkley’s old club Giants booked the player in the first round of the 2018 booking event, which is an exceptionally early reservation, especially for the central striker in today’s NFL.
It was only in Eagles that Barkley has blossomed, as in New York, for six years, he was a lonely star in his team, who did not get the help of the attack on the line than the other team. Giants crap at the bottom of the series.
Now he is one of the biggest reasons that the Eagles is victorious about the championship.
Barkley has nine runs of over 50 yard this season. No other player in the league has been able to run more than three similar runs.
In addition, Barkley has run seven more than 60 yard touchdowns. The number is only three less than all other league players combined.
– Quite absurd readings, says Koikalainen.
Barkley’s game is just getting better as the match progresses. According to Next Gen Stats, he has 496 yards waiting for this season’s second half. It is the biggest reading in measurement history.
Barkley’s average of one running attempt is 4.8 yards in the first half. In other halftime, he runs an average of 6.7 yards on his run.
– He is able to carry a big load, even though today’s standards are getting an extraordinary much ball in matches. Efficiency has not disappeared, but he has been able to make explosive games in the last quarter, says Koikalainen.
Workhorse
It is no wonder that in the conference final against the Washington Commanders, Eagles’ physiotes spun around Barkley to maintain his calves.
Barkley is even statistically the most loaded central striker in the league this season. He has carried the ball 345 times. At the same time, the number is the largest season for Barkley’s career.
Eagles number 26 has been unstoppable despite its huge load.
– He has one extra gear when he really has to go hard. There are no players in the backfield who would catch him, Koilainen opens.
The opponent Kansas City Chiefs know exactly who they must try to stop by any means.
– The Chiefs running service has given quite big yards in many matches for the rest of the season. But there, too, it has been seen from Philadelphia games that big games have come through running. You will definitely want to do something about it, Koikainen confirms.
History?
The Eagles camp also knows exactly that the CHIEFS defense coordinator is also known Steve Spagnuolo has made the game plans so that Barkley would not escape.
Still, the strategy of the green -shirt Eagles is probably a bunch of oval balls at Barkley’s fingers, no matter how predictable it is.
– Now you don’t have to spare. It’s a Super Bowl win or nothing. Hardly annoying (after the game) on the Philadelphia side of giving Barkley more, the expert laughs.
Barkley has played 19 matches this season, and in ten of them has touched the ball at least 25 times. As many as 30 touch games are four.
This is a stunning amount. It tells about Eagles’ credit towards Barkley and the player’s ability to take responsibility.
Would Super Bowl also break the 30 ball of touch?
– It may well be possible. I would be really surprised if you get less than twenty, Koilainen predicts.
Barkley breaks the NFL’s all -time one -season running round record in Super Bowl with quite a bit of certainty when counting the regular season and the playoffs. She is only 30 yards away Terrell Davis A record of 2,476 yards of the 1998-99 season.
At the end of that season, Davis won Super Bowl and was selected as the most valuable player in the final.
