Klint Kubiak shut down a report that the Raiders might rest Ashton Jeanty, and Scott spends most of this episode on what sits underneath that story. Jeanty is averaging 2.9 yards per carry, and the Raiders are last in the NFL in yards per carry as a team. Kubiak himself said the staff has been raising concerns about the line for weeks. Scott lays out the case for playing Jeanty and the case for sitting him, says where he lands, and goes through the offensive line one position at a time.
Then it’s on to Buffalo. The Bills beat the Rams 37-34 in overtime on Monday night behind Josh Allen, and now they travel to Las Vegas on a short week with injuries at right tackle, wide receiver, and defensive line. Scott covers where the Raiders can attack, whether Maxx Crosby’s snap count should change, the Raiders’ own injury report, and his score prediction.
The second half is your calls and videos, covering the offensive line, the best timing for Fernando Mendoza, the defense giving up 34 points a game, and whether this team has an identity yet.
