From the article

Bold talk from Jeanty, a tailback that's below the league average of 4.2 yards per carry and sits 37th amongst his contemporaries with 3.1 yards per tote. And expect the Jets to to load the box with eight defenders to stonewall the Raiders run game — which has worked and the Silver & Black able to adjust and fix that.

Negative signalMatchup

Jeanty averaging 3.1 YPC (37th) faces Jets' eight-man box strategy.

The Raiders starting running back is averaging 3.1 yards per carry, ranking 37th amongst running backs and below the league average of 4.2 yards per carry. Despite expressing confidence that the Raiders can get the run game going against the Jets, Jeanty faces a Jets run defense ranked 24th in the league allowing 894 yards, and the Jets are expected to load the box with eight defenders to stonewall the Raiders' ground game which averages a meager 3.0 yards per carry (second-last in the NFL).
