Film Room: Josh Jacobs and Jon Gruden’s Diverse Run Game

[@dplunk13]

Love how you quantify things and graph them. Really beefs up your arguments and for visual people like me helps reinforce what you're saying.

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

Thanks!! :)

[@martinf7567]

This has to be pointed out - 2:52 Jacobs is carrying Mack for a 7 yard gain! He’s carried the former raider and DPOY. The draft pick and cap space was worth the trade. Trent brown shut down Mack again. At the time it really hurt as a raider fan but now, it’s worth the trade.

[@gregbrown277]

Please stop it! Raiders oline was playing dirty that game. Illegal blocks after Illegal blocks. Holding, chop blocks you can name it. That's the only way they got the advantage that game. Plus Hicks got hurt.

[@davedurnum6500]

Greg Brown no they weren’t. I’ve seen so many fucking bears fans whining about this exact topic. There was one chop block and incognito got penalized for it. Y’all lost, move on.

[@martinf7567]

Greg Brown it was beautiful seeing Mack’s post interview! Oh yeah, I’ll take Jacobs productivity and cheap contract over Mack’s salary cap hit. Salary cap helped transform and speed up the rebuild. I do feel bad for Bears fans, y’all could of had mahomes or Watson but y’all have pace as your GM. Mitch isn’t the answer but Foles might be.

This is the best channel for learning about football

[@bigd8161]

Bro, I had to study these breakdowns like I was preparing for a test! Lol Great job, you brought out why gruden is such an offensive powerhouse in such a powerful way

[@alexduran4747]

holy shit what a breakdown, you really did some homework on this one! Amazing, A++ analysis!!

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

Thanks Alex!!

[@Kingko1234]

Great video Sam. As always good breakdown.

[@zachrichardson8059]

I would love to see a video about Austin Ekeler. These videos are easily some of the best analysis videos I've seen.

[@joelocke5411]

I remember taking a chance on this kid in my fantasy league last year and he became the most reliable option I had at rb and slowly became my favorite player on the raiders

[@adielcerriteno1990]

Super good vid I appreciate the work u put into it

[@witbio]

I appreciate this video. How to Scheme to open run lanes And the type of RB that's successful in that design. Do you do video requests on this channel or patreon?

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

Thanks! I take recommendations through my Patreon!

[@autumnwind1216]

Jacobs had to carry a load last year. Hopefully the offense as a whole is even more diverse & he gets some support from guys like Bowden Jr.

[@johnq.8167]

This is great data and easy to follow! Thanks😎 #GoRaiders

[@Sam_mila]

Watched this one and now on j Adams / love your IQ and your break downs, info is key (awesome videos)

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

Get my fantasy football rankings here! www.patreon.com/posts/40953083/ Note... I moved my projections of Jacobs up this week because of what I saw on film. Dude is incredible. Plus with the receiving usage, he could easily finish as a Top 5-7 RB.

[@angusmacmillan6443]

Great vid my friend ❤️

[@pastel_pink]

Definitely keeping Jacobs in my fantasy league

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

You should!

[@footballrealitycheck9927]

You're definitely not going to do good in that fantasy league.

[@Jake_Cotumaccio]

Hey Sam, love the videos. Quick question about your play tracking at 2:55 (even though it's not the point of the video)- how are you determining if it's a Power run vs. a Gap run? I've always understood them to be interchangeable so I'm curious what I'm missing. Thanks!

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

Gap and power feature man blocking. Gap plays don't have the pulling lineman that power plays do.

[@Jake_Cotumaccio]

@@SamuelGoldNFL Awesome, thanks!

[@dwightlove3704]

Jacobs in my opinion is the modern day Clarence Davis the father of The SEA OF HANDS CATCH!!!!!!!

[@martinf7567]

Great guy in person, I met him and he gave me his autograph

[@cruzrobledo6631]

Love jacobs. GO RAIDERS!

[@hansoskar1911]

not just Josh Jacobs gets more yards with motions, everyone does. Motion is the freest yardage you can get. No offense in history has ever used too much motion. using motion correctly is also great in the passgame.use motion.

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

I looked into this and it's actually not true for every running back. Nick Chubb in 2019, for example, actually created LESS YPC on his runs with a pre-snap motion. Which is fascinating... 5.3 ypc without vs 4.6 ypc with. I think, on average, it works and I definitely agree with your overall point but not for every team.

[@BreadVanVleet]

@@SamuelGoldNFL that could be because kitchens was terrible lol motions aren't just something you do at random. I don't think kitchens is a very calculated guy haha

Raider Nation!!!

[@leorickt.9604]

Why has outside zone become so prevalent? And how will teams scheme against it this year

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

You can pair it VERY well with play-action passing to get the stretch on the linebackers. They are forced to flow with it, so it opens up gaping holes in the defense. Think Shanahan + McVay offenses. They are the prime examples of this.

[@MilkABeezyLikeCereal]

I still can’t believe we got him at #24 in the draft. Looking back now this guy was a top 5 pick. Such a steal

[@heroinpapi1845]

This shits unstoppable in madden

[@ohjay7612]

MOAR

[@chefkeyon]

Did I remember correctly that you had a coupon code for football outsiders?

[@kylefritz544]

Now add Lynn Bowden and Marcus Mariota. The possibilities are exciting!

[@laaprinceton]

Songs?

[@MarcusHansen276]

I got him on my fantasy team because I know he’s bout to be the next Marcus Allen

[@JasonAlmighty]

6:51 #58 got crushed

[@juliusdixon6653]

do you have a way of skipping through the game fil to watch quickly? or just have to watch all the plays

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

There's a "Search" feature in game pass. You can group the plays that way.

[@thegaminganalyst7725]

Can you guys look at my 49ers scheme breakdown video and how to replicate it into madden 20? It would be much appreciated!!

[@riggingpots3453]

Guy looks like E.Smith from Dallas.

[@atharvkulkarni7219]

Why is he so low on your fantasy rankings? I feel like he will finish top 5 in rushing in the raiders scheme and with no legitimate option behind him. Just wondering

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

I moved him up recently in my rankings on the new sheets. I have him end of first round now in Half PPR leagues. I realized that i was too low in projected receiving yards + catches. (The video at the end of this is from the old sheet, but the actual sheets at the top have him higher.)

[@atharvkulkarni7219]

Samuel Gold ok gotcha! Keep up the great content! Most slept on You Tuber our there 🐐

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

@@atharvkulkarni7219 Haha thanks! Tell people to stop sleeping on me!

Shhhh. To many secrets

The new Marcus Allen

[@rickyflickyn408]

Make a vid about ruggs

[@21BARREIRO]

Seems like grudens playing a lot of madden 20

[@rd-pd8xb]

#31 on Green Bay voted Jacobs #1 on the NFL Top 100. Bet.

[@torotrac3919]

The entire offense is stale and predictable. Gruden is 20 yrs behind the times. Guenther is 40 yrs behind the times. It is a fucking clown show of 3 Stooges idiocy. I have not seen the Raiders look well coached since Marc Trestman was OC. Dereck Carr is a joke. They totally blew their 5 #1 picks by not getting a real QB. Stop smoking Raiders crack.

[@brandonwilliams9479]

Terrell Davis said that a great o line in this scheme, your rb automatically avg 4 yards per game. Check out his todd Gurley mvp video
