Raiders coach Klint Kubiak thinks running back Ashton Jeanty can do more in his second year in the league.<\/p>\n

Jeanty got a big workload as a rookie last year, carrying 266 times for 975 yards and adding 55 catches for 346 yards. But Kubiak, the Raiders\u2019 first-year coach, wants to give the ball to Jeanty more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to put a lot of pressure on Ashton<\/a>,\u201d Kubiak said. \u201cThe next guy that steps up, whoever that may be, that\u2019s going to be seen here in practice, OTAs and training camp, but we think we should continue to challenge Ashton and get more out of him. It\u2019s important to have a quality second back, but the best player has got to play, and we\u2019ve got to get them on the field as much as we can. I don\u2019t know the play-snap percentage, but you look at [49ers running back] Christian McCaffrey, his play-snap percentage is high. So, those great backs, they don\u2019t want to come off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCaffrey played 83 percent of the 49ers\u2019 offensive snaps last season. Jeanty played 78 percent of the Raiders\u2019 offensive snaps last season. If things go according to Kubiak\u2019s plan, Jeanty will play even more than he did as a rookie, get the ball even more than he did as a rookie, and produce even more than he did as a rookie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raiders coach Klint Kubiak thinks running back Ashton Jeanty can do more in his second year in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":660423,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-660422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=660422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/660423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=660422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=660422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=660422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
