Monday following the Raiders week three loss to the Dolphins, Jon Gruden addressed one of the major problems that has been plaguing the defense this season; the ability to defend against jet sweeps.
“When you give up jet sweeps that go for 75-yard, 35-yard touchdowns, we’ve got to erase those. We got to clean that up immediately,” said Gruden. “I know Jarvis Landry and the Cleveland Browns are looking at our film probably thinking, ‘Let’s try a few of those again this week.’”
Through three games the Raiders have seen a total of seven jet sweeps. Three of those plays have gone for touchdowns.
