Shame Sirianni couldn’t figure out how to use him (just like we’re seeing now with Penny). Reminds me somewhat of Doug not knowing how to use Golden Tate.

brkmsn Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 It's weird. Barnett is actually playing around 50% of his team's snaps now and all of a sudden, he's productive. In the last 4 games he has 18 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 7 TFL, 10 QB hits, and 1PD ... and still no penalties. Believe what you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I believe if that bum Barnett was out there playing with the Eagles today he would have been run over too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post is just mindblowing, he has all of 160 yards on the year and the Colts Head Coach is the OC who 'couldn't figure out how to use him' last year. Trey Sermon just isn't that Fing good, he's not even Wendell Smallwood level, he's Kenjon Barner at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only saying he got ZERO shot here and with his limited touches in Indy he has looked decent (he is averaging 4.6 yards/carry ... that would be better than anyone here not named Swift). He surely could have contributed as part of a rotation. He got a whopping 2 carries here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's averaging 4,6 yards a carry in mostly garbage time yards, he's got the best average at the Colts too and he's still 3rd string dead rubber guy. People on this board have been hyping Sermon as a sleeper since his draft year and he's now on his third team in 3 years and none have considered him worth more than a back up to the back up role.

So he's #3 in their RB rotation. When Taylor was out he received the majority of the snaps as the lead back ... against Pitt he logged 17 carries for 88 yards (5.2 ypc). I'd take that from a #3. Some people may have been overhyping him but that isn't the case here ... I am merely suggesting he could have been used more as part of a rotation here (behind Sanders and Gainwell/Scott) as RB3. He had 2 carries in 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 2 carries in 2022. I think the Eagles want 3 active RBs with 1 more on the roster. It probably sucks to be the 4th RB on this team if you want to play, but that guy's role is to be the insurance policy. No major injuries have hit our RBs in the last couple years, so the RB4 just isn't going to get used. I thought Sermon played well last season despite only getting 2 touches. His preseason this year wasn't very good, though. I'm not sure that can be all put on him, but that's what fans see. I still feel the NFL has an abundance of RBs and unfortunately, many will hardly get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he makes a mean chilli, maybe he's serving up big portions on the sideline the last few weeks, which would explain so many players being sluggish. Or something, I don't even know a thing about Penny any longer. No rhyme nor reason I can see for his continued absence at this point. It might as well be that than anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be productive, which is obviously his primary role, but he is productive enough that he is enough of a threat - you bring him in for a couple of passing plays, he has to be respected by the defense, but he is also excellent in blitz pickup. I've seen him make some excellent plays in protection this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
