Whether Dickerson likes it or not — and the Hall of Famer made clear last week he does not — Barkley is coming for the record next weekend against the New York Giants.Like a football off McBride’s helmet, the Cardinals aren’t getting many lucky bounces these days “I’m not overly trying to go get it,” Barkley said. “I’m not scared to. I would love to. But at the end of the day, we’ve got bigger things we’re focusing on.”
Barkley, who left the Giants to sign a three-year deal with the Eagles for $26 million guaranteed, also set the NFL mark Sunday for most yards rushing in a player’s first season with a new team.“I didn’t come here or sign here just to rush for 2,000 and break a record,” Barkley said. “I’m here to do something special.”
