“I always tell the quarterback, ‘I’m always open,’” Jacobs said. “The biggest thing for me is to get in that rhythm, to get in that space to where you feel good no matter what the run is or no matter what the call is.” Offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said opposing defenses began to stack the box to take away Jacobs as a threat.
The rust, though, should have have worn off after the first few weeks, but Jacobs remains in a rut. His highest rushing average was 3.6 yards in the Week 3 gameHe wanted a long-term contract after last season and wasn’t happy when the Raiders placed the franchise tag on him. Jacobs never signed the tag, and the sides finally agreed to a one-year deal that would pay him up to $12 million this season rather than the $10.1 million that would have come with the tag.
