Eagles’ No. 1 NFL RB Bluntly Calls Out Team’s Defense as “Terrible” During Latest Practice
Eagles’ No. 1 NFL RB Bluntly Calls Out Team’s Defense as “Terrible” During Latest Practice
The Philadelphia Eagles’ latest training camp session got off to a fiery start as Saquon Barkley, the team’s newest offensive weapon and arguably the top RB in the NFL, didn’t hold back after his first run of the day.
Blazing through the defensive line and exploding upfield, Barkley turned around and shouted:
“That’s your defense? I thought y’all were still warming up!”
The unexpected outburst had some defenders—like Haason Reddick and Nakobe Dean—visibly reacting, but the tension quickly turned to laughter. Barkley, known for his energetic presence and relentless trash talk, was simply doing what he’s always done: ignite competition and raise the tempo.
Head coach Nick Sirianni later chuckled when asked about the moment:
“That’s just Barkley being Barkley. He plays with fire, and he talks with fire. That’s the kind of energy we love around here.”
Since arriving in Philly, Barkley has brought an immediate spark to the offense. His blend of explosive plays and infectious intensity has raised the bar across the team, even during practice.
And while it was just a bit of good-natured trash talk, Barkley’s message was clear: he expects nothing but the best—especially from his own teammates. If this is a sign of things to come, the Eagles might just have their final missing piece in place for another Super Bowl run.
