Overview

  • Carroll said no sweeping changes are coming after Washington sacked Geno Smith five times and hit him eight more in the Week 3 defeat.
  • Pro Football Focus credited Alex Cappa and DJ Glaze with 13 of the Raiders’ 21 pressures allowed, including two sacks and two QB hits.
  • Glaze surrendered two sacks and seven pressures, while Cappa struggled in both protection and the run game and is set to cede right guard back to Powers-Johnson.
  • Ashton Jeanty was contacted behind the line on 11 of 17 carries Sunday and has faced backfield contact on 57% of his rushes this season, with just 0.28 yards per carry on runs behind Cappa versus 5.0 behind Dylan Parham.
  • PFF grades show a sharp disparity up front with Kolton Miller rated the NFL’s top left tackle as rookies Charles Grant and Caleb Rogers remain inactive and labeled not ready.
