Overview

• Through two games, Ashton Jeanty is averaging 2.7 yards per carry with 81 rushing yards, the fewest among players with at least 30 attempts.
• He logged 38 yards and a touchdown in his debut, then 43 yards on 11 carries in the Week 2 loss to the Chargers.
• Jeanty accepted blame for some struggles, saying his reads were off and that he must keep earning offensive coordinator Chip Kelly’s trust regardless of carry count.
• Pete Carroll said the team is “bringing [Jeanty] along,” acknowledged the need to run more effectively after totaling 68 rushing yards against Los Angeles, and indicated Jeanty will get more opportunities.
• His next chance to respond comes in Week 3 at Washington, which some analysts characterize as a more favorable matchup for the run game.
