Overview
- Ashton Jeanty logged six carries for seven yards in the 33-16 loss to the Cowboys as Las Vegas finished with just 27 rushing yards.
- Asked about his touches, the rookie said, “I don’t call the plays… that’s up to the guys upstairs,” signaling frustration with his role.
- Carroll said the plan was to throw early and that falling behind kept the offense pass-heavy, limiting chances to establish the run.
- Mike Florio questioned using the sixth pick on a back before building the line, and Shannon Sharpe said Jeanty was not worth that draft slot given the roster’s needs.
- Despite uneven rushing output—one 100-yard game and a team-leading 554 yards—Jeanty’s receiving workload is rising, with a career-high six catches vs. Dallas and a recent jump to roughly 29 routes per game as coaches laud his progress in pass protection.
