Jeanty Shows Promise, But Questions Remain | Las Vegas Raiders News

Ashton Jeanty exploded for 102 yards on 23 carries against the Dolphins, signaling a major turnaround for the Raiders’ run game after last season’s dismal showing. Backup Mike Washington added 41 yards on just seven runs, showcasing depth and efficiency. While Jeanty’s average of a yard before contact is still below elite standards, his improved time to the line and Washington’s blistering 4+ yards per carry hint at real progress. But challenges remain: Jeanty’s slow release (3 seconds behind the line) and Miami’s aggressive box stuffing (8 defenders on 35% of carries) expose vulnerabilities. And in crunch time, Jeanty stalled with just 4 yards on 8 carries — proving consistency still eludes the young back.
