Ashton Jeanty Says Raiders Offense Thrives When Returning to Ground Game Approach
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty has spoken out about the key to the team’s offensive success, emphasizing that the offense is at its best when they establish the run game early. Jeanty, who has been a vital part of the backfield, believes that returning to a more traditional, run-focused offensive strategy has made a significant impact on the team’s performance.
“The run game is the foundation of our offense,” Jeanty said in a recent interview. “When we get the running game going, everything else falls into place. It opens up the play-action, gives our quarterbacks more time, and keeps the defense on its heels. We’ve seen it work when we stick to that approach.”
The Raiders have struggled with consistency on offense at times this season, but Jeanty’s confidence in the run game has been clear. With the offensive line starting to gel, Jeanty has been able to exploit holes and gain crucial yards, giving the team momentum in key moments.
“When we can establish the run early, it sets the tone for the entire game,” Jeanty continued. “It’s about controlling the clock, wearing down the defense, and creating opportunities for our playmakers. We’ve been able to do that better recently, and it’s been a big part of our success.”
Jeanty’s comments reflect a shift in the team’s offensive philosophy, with head coach Josh McDaniels and the offensive staff prioritizing the ground game to open up passing lanes. The Raiders have seen success when Jeanty and the running backs are able to consistently move the ball and control the tempo of the game.
“The run game is always going to be key, no matter what,” Jeanty concluded. “We know it’s what makes us dangerous, and we’ll keep building on it.”
As the season progresses, the Raiders will continue to rely on their running game to keep their offense balanced and effective. With Jeanty leading the charge, the Raiders are poised to remain a tough team to defend against as they move forward.
Matthew Golden Expresses Disappointment After Matt LaFleur Dashes His Hopes for a Bigger Role with Packers
Wide receiver Matthew Golden has voiced his frustration after Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur dampened the excitement surrounding his potential for a larger role on the team. Despite a strong showing in training camp and early performances, Golden’s hopes for more playing time were dashed when LaFleur downplayed his chances in a recent statement.
“I’ve worked hard to prove myself, and to hear that kind of response from the head coach is really disappointing,” Golden said. “I know what I’m capable of, and I thought I was showing that in practice and in the games. It’s frustrating to hear those comments after putting in so much effort.”
Golden, who has been eager to make an impact on the Packers' offense, was hoping for more recognition and opportunities to contribute. However, LaFleur’s comments about his limited role in the upcoming games have left the rookie feeling sidelined and questioning his place on the team.
“I understand the coaching staff has their decisions to make, but it’s tough when you feel like you’ve been doing everything right and it doesn’t seem to be enough,” Golden continued. “I’m just trying to stay focused and do whatever I can to help this team win, but right now, it’s hard not to feel disappointed.”
While LaFleur has praised Golden’s work ethic and potential, the lack of playing time in meaningful moments has led to questions about the rookie’s role moving forward. Golden is now faced with the challenge of staying motivated and proving that he deserves more opportunities.
“I’ll keep working hard, but this isn’t the news I wanted to hear,” Golden concluded. “I’ve got to stay patient, but it’s definitely tough to swallow right now.”
