I thought James played pretty well again. Parker was poor again though I thought. It's always hard to judge an OL immediately after the match for me as I don't specifically watch them on a play by play basis, be interested to hear what others thought .......... exactly, I always follow the ball when I watch (like most people lol). James is stud, Raiders got that one right. I think we have 3 longterm starters in Miller, James, and Leatherwood. Need to be aggressive to get those 2 other starters Edited December 27, 2021 by Humble_Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays like this every week, he’ll be a long term guy here. He manned tf up vs a very good bronco defense that was stacking the box. That drive that lead to the barber td was beautiful to watch. Just took small bites out of the Broncos heart until it was nothing left. He’s gotta hold on to that dam ball tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdigtheRaiders! Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 If Jacobs can continue playing like this for two more weeks, then perhaps we have a chance. Not holding my breath, however….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronjon1990 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Josh Jacobs has his first 100 yard game since Nov 15, 2020, against a fairly league average run D and team with a backup QB nobody believes in and a lame duck HC, and all of a sudden he's a feature back primed to carry us into the playoffs? Y'all crack me up sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran with the same kind of indecisiveness but for some reason it worked in the second half) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my thing though: we had a good game, not a dominating run game, and Denver's run D is currently sitting at like 13. I try not to get too excited about those particular stats until the end of the year. Then you can see where they land, what's the context (ie: New England beat Buffalo with 19 passing yards- no offense to Buffalo, as they have a very good D, but they ain't that level of good.), what's the overall parity (ie: Rush D 1 gives up 70.0 yards per game, what if Rush D 32, the bottom of the barrel, gives up 73.1? They're both actually really good at stopping the run, but one will still be ranked last in Run D.). There's always a team at some point in the season that has a top 5-10 statistical unit that really isn't, and winds up well below that once all is said and done. Denver, to me, has looked ok on D, but not great. They may have come into the game ranked 9th, but if someone had asked me who the top 10 Run D's were, I wouldn't have listed them. Sort of like how we still somehow have a top 5 passing offense....lol (side note: HOW???). Edited December 27, 2021 by ronjon1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I see what you're saying but at the same time it's week 16 so it's not like it's the first six weeks of the season when the Broncos were exactly playing scrubs. They've shut down some good offenses that were healthy. The reality is if we play the exact same game we played yesterday against the Colts we're probably going to get blown out. We're not gonna beat the Colts scoring less than 21 points. Bottom line. Their run game is too good for that.

Played 5 snaps and just a handful of snaps in the past couple games each. Safe to assume the rookie took his starting position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
