Josh Jacobs was impressive as a rookie last season, from the outset, and served notice that it won’t be long before he merits consideration for being one of the league’s elite running backs. Jacobs rushed for 1,150 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games last season. What’s more impressive, Jacobs played half the time with
Addition of new offense weapons on the outside (ex. Ruggs) and a healthy Williams should prevent defenses from putting an extra man in the box to stop Jacobs
Agree, Steve and Ghost. With little wide receiver threats once Tyrell Williams was injured, teams loaded the box on Jacobs. Hopefully, with a healthy and non-suspended full offensive line, more weapons on the outside and a year of experience, Josh will be able to take the next step and join the elite running back group in a way that helps the Raiders win more games.
Agree, Jacobs could be the real deal. He, like everyone else, just needs to stay healthy and consistent.
