"I don't want to be a David Johnson. I don't want to be a Le'Veon Bell or a Mark Ingram or those type of guys," Barkley said. "I respect their games so much, I love watching their film. I want to be compared to Saquon. I want to be my own guy. I want to be my own back. I want to bring a new style of running back to the NFL. Be elite in everything I do."
Ultimately, Barkley says, his focus is on making an impact in 2018, helping the offense find balance and winning football games. Long-term, he wants to put another trophy-plus in the case and when all is said and done, join legends in Canton."He is saying the right things. Confident but not arrogant.

I love everything I've heard about this young man. He is going to make this offense so diversified defenses will not be able to defend him. And with Beckhams return they will not be able to play 8 in the box like Zeke and Fournette will face. With OBJ demanding the double team Engram and Shepard should become so much more dangerous.
Barkley also will be as dangerous as Le Veon Bell in the passing game. Our O lines improvement will help the run game plus Barkley's talent everything on paper looks good if not great. However we do have to perform. But I'm just so optimistic.
Lets not worry till we see something to worry about, there is plenty of time to worry.

I'm taking the conservative approach. Lets see it on the field. Lets see it come together. Our competition is the Eagles and there a very good football team. I re-watched the recent Superbowl a number of times just to see more details and we have our work cut out. I'm being cautious yet optimistic.

He's a hell of a talent and seems to be humble enough to still work like his roster spot isn't secure even tho it's a done deal, really like his attitude it might take hime some games to get his feet under him but the sky is the limit if they block for him. |
