Josh Jacobs, a rushing back with the Raiders, is among offensive coach Mick Lombardi’s childhood heroes because of how relentlessly he carries the football.

Lombardi said that Josh Jacobs is an old-school and he always want to carry the ball downhill. According to him, Jacobs always want the ball.

Josh McDaniels, the current coach of the Raiders, paid Josh Jacobs the highest respect by referring to him as a “football player.”

The Las Vegas Raiders have flipped their campaign around as well as, at 5-7, have reentered the postseason picture. They are now riding a 3-game winning run heading into their Thursday game versus the Rams. A resurgence to a powerful rushing game, led by Josh Jacobs, has become one of the motivating elements behind such a effort.

The Alabama alum leads the team in running as well as scrimmage yardage this campaign and therefore is ranked third with the ten rushing tds. Marcus Allen established the team record for running yards in 1985 with seventeen fifty-nine yards while serving as his coach. Josh Jacobs is on track to surpass that mark.

RB Josh Jacobs Is A OID-School Footballer According To His Coach:

With 160 running yards per game on average during the team’s 3-game unbeaten run, Josh Jacobs was at his finest. 6  times a season, Jacobs has ran for even more than a hundred yards. In 5 of those, Las Vegas has triumphed.

How, therefore, do the Raiders frequently set Jacobs free for significant gains? In order to play bully ball up forward, they have relied on a typical personnel grouping, deploying fb Jakob Johnson as well as 2-back, 1-tight end formations. On one forty-eight offensive plays in the season, or twenty percent of them, the Raiders have employed 2-back, 1-tight end sets (21 personnel).

The Raiders have used 2-back, 1 tight end sets forty-five times for three eighteen yards and 5 tds over the last 3 games.
