Kind of how we mostly see things:

I think Coach K needed to get to a point of trusting Washington. After today’s game I assume he’ll run things like he did in Seattle with Walker/Charbonnet from now on. We just didn’t know Washington was gonna be cast in the Walker role.

when we drafted washington i thought he was just like charbs in many ways but more explosive but i could not see jeanty in the walker role cause he was a plodding type rb

Funny Jeanty with a crap Oline last year had over 1,000 yards most of which came after contact at or before the LOS.

This year game 1 he looked sharp but then the following games he appears limping and stiff and not explosive

I’ll hold off on the “bust” nonsense and presume he simply has been injured and should have been benched a few games ago to heal. Playing hurt, which he is, is doing him and the Raiders no favors.

I’ll wait until he is recovered to see how he does and judge accordingly.

In camp Jeanty went down in such a fashion that the team took to one knee. I almost wonder if it would have been better for him to go on IR. Not just for us but for his career trajectory. Playing hurt is a thankless endeavor, putting bad tape out there while not being 100% has really made folks forget about his first 17 games.

He's gotta be injured, it's the only explanation that makes sense

On goal-to-go carries Washington had 6 carries for 0 yards. I got frustrated because we would run on 1st, get stuffed, run on 2nd, get stuffed, and throw on 3rd.

That really hurt Washington’s ypc average. His stats would have looked better if they had more success there.

But in other situations the running game did well. Even if they only picked up 3 yards on 1st down, it made 2nd and 3rd down much easier and didn’t feel like the team just threw away a down.

What really hurt the team in previous weeks was getting 1 yards, 0 yards or even negative yards on 1st down and ending up with 2nd and long and 3rd and long situations.

I think we got a better idea of how effective the offense can be if we get something out of the running game.

Of course someone might say the Jets run defense sucks and that’s true. I’m really curious to see what happens in the next 3 games.

Also I’m hoping there is a better chance Jeanty could heal up because of his low number of carries. I think he has been injured and a healthy Jeanty with Washington should improve the running game.

I don’t know enough about Coach K’s Outside-Zone and whether or not it has specific weakness to short yardage situations, but I can conceive of the possibility that an offensive line built for quickness and lateral mobility gets worse the shorter and more condensed the field gets. Down inside the 10 we need smoke-coming-out-your-ears push more so than lateral agility and we just ain’t got the horses for it.

I’ve been looking forward a smidge to us grabbing a WR1 next draft, especially if that WR1 is named Charlie Becker, but if he’s gone, I wouldn’t feel the slightest misgivings if Day 1 and the beginning of Day 2 are spent entirely on the lines.

We are blowing the doors off with scoring, but imagine what this could be with a running game. And yes, our two-headed running game. “A Raider Nation divided against itself cannot stand.” —Big Al Lincoln. In other words, enough with the f[raiders_icon]cking fanboy shit. It’s f[raiders_icon]cking weird. (Not directed at you Steve007)
