Josh Jacobs is a staple of the Raiders offense. The 25-year-old, three-down back leads the NFL in carries (220) and has rushed for 100-plus yards in two of his last three games despite not eclipsing the century mark once through the first nine weeks of the season.

Since Week 9 when Pierce took over, Jacobs has averaged 90.8 yards per game and 4.2 yards per carry, making significant leaps from the 51.0 per game and 3.1 per rush he averaged in Weeks 1-8.

The Vikings run defense, however, allows just 3.7 yards per carry (fifth-best mark) and 96 rushing yards per game (seventh fewest). The Vikings haven't allowed more than 66 rushing yards to an individual rusher since Week 2 despite facing star runners like Alvin Kamara, Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey.

they'll be plenty of blitzing, that's guaranteed, yes. but it's also the disguising of defensive sets that a less experienced opposing QB has to deal with that may be the bigger problem.

Oh, absolutely. O’Connell will have difficulty there for sure but at least our OC will try and put a plan in place to counteract and mitigate that some. Under McDaniels it was pretty much ‘as you are’ and a ‘learning experience’ for the rookie getting battered with no compromise to the sacred ‘scheme’ 🤪

i'm hoping to see a lot of three and outs from your side of the offense. or more likely, a 15 yard gain on first down and THEN a three and out.

now whether our offense can then do anything about the opportunity remains to be seen. but at least we have Jefferson back.

Source for what? His 30 fumbles?

Dude... why do you insist on bending people's words. I clearly said getting Williams would be awesome. But that doesn't come without caution. 

You can think a guys is a stellar player and still question some of his decisions and how they may play out. 

I’m thinking the same thing
