"Ashton Jeanty has tempered those expectations. "I wouldn't say I'm as optimistic as Pete is sometimes," the rookie running back said Wednesday. "But I do think a lot of times, all it takes is one play, one spark to change the direction of the game for us and just for the organization to lead towards a win.""
"Following Las Vegas' 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Carroll said the team has been working its "ass off" with the hope of winning its first game since a 20-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 6. "We have a surprisingly positive attitude about it," Carroll said. "That's a part of our culture, and it's a part of the expectation of how we operate, but it's there.""
"At 2-11, Jeanty said his rookie season has been "super frustrating" because the work that's been put on the practice field hasn't translated into wins. His individual production hasn't matched the preseason expectations for the No. 6 pick, as well. He has 191 carries for 665 yards and eight total touchdowns. Against the Broncos, he had 10 carries for 30 yards, the seventh time this season he's totaled fewer than 50 yards in a game."
The Las Vegas Raiders sit at 2-11 and are enduring a seven-game losing streak while ranking last in the NFL in rushing at 72.7 yards per game. Coach Pete Carroll says the team has a positive attitude and believes it is close to turning things around after recent hard work. Rookie running back Ashton Jeanty called the season "super frustrating," noting practice work has not translated into wins and that his production has lagged preseason expectations. Jeanty has 191 carries for 665 yards and eight total touchdowns, and has had multiple games under 50 rushing yards.
