The Eagles signed a weapon, not just a running back, and he was deployed yet again in a 28-23 win over the Jaguars in Week 9.
General manager Howie Roseman wasn’t just signing a running back and putting resources into a position he doesn’t often invest too highly in. Saquon Barkley was different.
Chris Simms, McCourty's studio-mate, took a swipe at the New York Giants in praising Barkley. New York had one winning seaso in Barkley's six years there. Barkley said he had a similar backward hurdle at Penn State in a game against Iowa. This one, though, was a wow play that began when he escaped a tackle from Tyson Campbell, spun away from Devin Lloyd, leaving the Jags linebacker grasping at air, then came out of his spin and did his backward hurdle over Jarrian Jones.
It was his fifth game with at least 100 yards rushing, and three of those have been for at least 145 yards.
