From the episode

the stat that everyone brings up on Gentry, Evan, is yards before he's touched, and it was, like, horrific last year...I do not expect that to be the case with Kubiak, and to me that is, like, the number one reason that we can take Gentry at 11, 12, 13, 14

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jacobs' yards before contact should improve dramatically under Kubiak's system.

Brandon Thorn expects Josh Jacobs' yards before contact to improve significantly under the Kubiak system compared to last year's horrific baseline; Thorn cites the play-action heavy, zone-oriented run game and upgraded coaching infrastructure (Rick Dennison, Clint Kubiak) as reasons to be comfortable drafting Jacobs at 11, 12, 13, or 14 overall, noting that the Raiders' offensive line will no longer consistently hit him in the backfield on touch.
