This week izallgood37 features a lot of Jacobs, a dash of Ha Ha, Ridley, and A'Shawn, Henry, Yeldon, and Ingram, Mark Barron, Ronnie Harrison, and Humphrey answering a reporter's question at the end.

He is currently PFF's highest graded rookie RB (#5 ovr among all RBs) by quite a bit and is also the highest graded rookie. The Raiders need to use him more as a receiver.

Just looked at his stats and yes, they definitely need to use him more in the passing game. He’s elective and wastes NO time getting up field.

They should use him like LAC uses Ekeler.

Man, what I wouldn’t have given to have Jacobs back for one more year. Could you imagine him as the #1 back on this year’s offense?

The raiders offense can be just as frustrating to watch as the Falcons offense. Clear elite talent that is starved of the football for long stretches of a game.

No reason for Jacobs to not be used extensively in the passing game. He's probably the number 3 receiver on that entire roster behind Williams and Waller. He ran 3/4 of the route tree at Alabama

So go back and look at that Harrison INT and compare it a 2015-2017 Bama turnover. Bunch of Jags standing around watching while those Bama D’s transitioned instantly to spring all those NOTs.

It’s the little things that don’t show up on the stat sheets.

I always felt like we under used him. Not attacking any other back on the team, but I noticed when Bama really needed a play, Jacobs was almost always in.

I think 2011 and 1992 are still the best defenses but watching 2017 score all of those td's was really a thing of beauty to witness.

My bad, I have been a fan for nearly 40 years now, and the years start to run together after a while. I think it was 2016 I was thinking of.
