The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> last season\u00a0were up-and-down on offense, struggling for the sort of consistency that made them the NFL’s apex predator a year ago.<\/p>\n

Plus, with Kevin Patullo as offensive coordinator, the offense was a shell of itself, as Jalen Hurts struggled, so too Saquon Barkley and just about every other skilled player.<\/p>\n

Something was off. As such, Patullo was moved on, and now former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion is the new offensive coordinator in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

And the move has certainly invigorated Barkley.<\/p>\n

“I’m super excited about it,” Barkley said on NFL Insiders via NFL.com<\/a>. “I’m going on Year 9, which is crazy to say, and I’ve had a lot of different coaches and head coaches and been a part of a lot of systems. I don’t think I really came across a system like this. For me, it’s refreshing. You get something new. You get to learn something new.”<\/p>\n

Can Eagles bounce back in 2026?<\/p>\n

Well, that would be the hope after an inconsistent 2025 season.<\/p>\n

The talent is there; it is just a matter of getting the right system in place to help bring out the best in what players Mannion has at his disposal.<\/p>\n

The offensive line, now without star coach Jeff Stoutland, will be a key watch, as will what the franchise does with A.J. Brown. So, there are a lot of moving parts for the Eagles this offseason, but sometimes change is as good as a holiday.<\/p>\n

And for Barkley, he’s one player who is ready to get back to work in the hopes of turning this ship around in 2026.<\/p>\n
