Jeanty Held to Negative Yards in Raiders Preseason Debut

Blaming the offensive line’s lack of movement in basic run schemes, Pete Carroll said Jeanty will get a chance to rebound against the 49ers next Saturday.

Overview

  • Jeanty managed three carries for −1 yard in Thursday’s 23-23 tie with the Seahawks, marking a subdued start for the No. 6 overall pick.
  • Raiders fans and analysts pointed to Las Vegas’s struggling offensive line rather than Jeanty’s skills as the primary reason for the backfield’s lack of production.
  • Seattle’s official X account mocked the rookie by declaring former Boise State teammate George Holani the best Bronco back after Holani scored a 24-yard touchdown and piled up nearly 70 yards.
  • In Friday’s press conference, Carroll described the run game as overly basic and said the line’s failure to open lanes kept Jeanty from showcasing his abilities.
  • Las Vegas plans to give Jeanty and its first-string offense extended reps against San Francisco next Saturday as it works to improve blocking and refine its schemes.
