At times, Jeanty and Washington were on the field at the same time. Other times it was Laube and Jeanty. A great example was the second-quarter touchdown to Ashton Jeanty. Laube and the former first-round pick were both in the backfield after the motion. It led to a touchdown, with Kubiak creating a one-on-one with Jeanty and Chris Johnson. Jeanty was even lined up at fullback at one point.

Jeanty deployed in creative 21 personnel groupings; scored on isolation play.

Ashton Jeanty is being deployed creatively in Klint Kubiak's 21 personnel groupings, which the Raiders ran on 36% of offensive snaps in their Week 1 home opener. Jeanty has been lined up in multiple formations—in the backfield alongside other backs (Laube and Washington), and even at fullback—to create favorable matchups. A second-quarter touchdown exemplified this approach: Laube and Jeanty were both in the backfield after motion, allowing Kubiak to isolate Jeanty in a one-on-one with Chris Johnson, resulting in a score. This versatile usage suggests Jeanty will remain central to the Raiders' offensive scheme and matchup creation.
