So Josh Jacobs is now a Green Bay Packer. I only saw him play once last year. That was against Green Bay in week five in Las Vegas. With my curiosity up, I have gone back and rewatched that game. It must be viewed with the perspective that the entire Raiders offense was struggling mightily under new coach Josh McDaniels, and after the departure of quarterback Derek Carr. Jacobs carried 20 times for 69 yards, a 3.45 yard average. Considering the way Green Bay’s defense was vulnerable to the run last year, that was less than impressive.
However, on three of his 20 carries, Jacobs was immediately hit behind the line of scrimmage by unblocked defenders and tackled for a loss, once each by Quay Walker, Devonte Wyatt and Kingsley Enagbare.
