Way too many third downs where he was expected to catch a dump off and then run over a guy or make a guy miss, often when everyone in North America knew he was getting the ball.
I think the best way to describe it is that Barkley fights the ball rather than catching it (he wasn't like that in his early years in the league). Because he is fighting it rather than catching it, his YAC is negatively impacted.
