From the episode

Zone blocking versus man gap scheme type of runs are completely different... Barkley talked about how he, I think he talked to Todd Gurley about this, actually, because he was talking about how this is more similar to what the Rams were doing when Todd Gurley was there.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Barkley's fit in Eagles' new zone scheme creates uncertainty.

Barkley faces uncertainty in Philadelphia's new zone blocking scheme, which differs fundamentally from the man-gap scheme he ran under Jeff Stoutland; zone blocking requires different vision and cutback lane recognition, and Barkley reportedly consulted Todd Gurley for feedback on operating in this system, raising questions about whether he needs external guidance to adapt.
