What's WRONG with the Raiders' running game? Is Ashton Jeanty the problem, is the offensive line failing to create running lanes, or is there something bigger going on with the Las Vegas Raiders' offense?

Jesse Merrick and former Raiders wide receiver Ryan Scott Hoag went back and watched EVERY Ashton Jeanty carry to figure out why the Raiders are struggling to run the football through the first four weeks of the NFL season.

The numbers are concerning. The Raiders are averaging just 3.5 yards per carry on designed runs, the sixth-fewest in the NFL. They're also averaging only 0.3 yards before contact, with ball carriers getting hit at or behind the line of scrimmage on nearly HALF of their rushing attempts.

But here's where things get interesting: The Raiders rank 12th in ESPN's run-block win rate. So what's actually going wrong?

Ryan explains why he believes Jeanty doesn't look like the same explosive, decisive running back we've seen in the past, while Jesse breaks down the offensive line struggles, particularly at guard, and why there's plenty of blame to go around.

The guys also discuss how Klint Kubiak can get the rushing attack back on track against the New England Patriots, why Kirk Cousins is playing at such a high level despite the offense's shortcomings, and whether the Raiders need more production from their wide receivers.

Plus, Dont'e Thornton Jr. is back at practice! Could his speed provide the missing element in the Raiders' passing attack?

Finally, Jesse and Ryan turn their attention to the defense, what stood out against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and how Las Vegas matches up against Drake Maye and the Patriots.

🏴‍☠️ ON TODAY'S SHOW:

🚨 What's REALLY wrong with the Raiders' rushing attack?

🏃 Ashton Jeanty breakdown: Is hesitation holding him back?

🧱 Is the Raiders' offensive line the bigger problem?

📊 The surprising run-blocking stats that don't match the production

🧠 How Klint Kubiak can fix the running game

🎯 Why Kirk Cousins continues to impress

👀 Are the Raiders' wide receivers actually struggling, or is it the offensive scheme?

⚡ What Dont'e Thornton Jr.'s return could mean for the offense

🔥 Nakobe Dean, Taron Johnson and the Raiders' defensive standouts

🛡️ The defensive line concerns after Kenneth Walker's big game

🏈 Raiders vs. Patriots preview: Can Las Vegas exploit New England's defense?

💥 How the Raiders can pressure Drake Maye without blitzing

🔑 The biggest keys to getting back in the win column

💬 QUESTION OF THE DAY: What do you think is wrong with the Raiders rushing attack? Is it Jeanty, the offensive line, or Kubiak? Or maybe something else?

The Chiefs vs. Raiders game could come down to three critical matchups — and the numbers reveal where Sunday's massive AFC West showdown could be won or lost.

Jesse Merrick dives deep into the analytics behind three HUGE swing factors in this matchup — beginning with a Chiefs rushing attack that looks completely different with Kenneth Walker.

Walker has been one of the NFL's most difficult running backs to tackle, and Kansas City has overwhelmingly attacked one particular side of opposing defenses. That creates a fascinating decision for Rob Leonard involving Maxx Crosby, Kwity Paye and Malcolm Koonce.

Then we turn to Mahomes. Where can the Raiders generate pressure? Should they blitz a quarterback who has historically punished the blitz? And can Maxx exploit a vulnerable part of Kansas City's offensive line?

Finally, it's Kirk Cousins and Klint Kubiak vs. Steve Spagnuolo. The numbers reveal a massive difference in Kirk's performance against single-high and two-high coverages — making the Raiders' struggling rushing attack even more important this week.

Then Matt Perrault from Pushing the Odds joins the show for another edition of Raiders Rounders to break down the game, the odds surrounding Sunday's game, and the biggest matchups around the AFC West and NFL. Matt expects a fight, telling Jesse he believes the Raiders will be in the game late and that Maxx Crosby could be in store for a monster performance.

On today's show:

- 🏃 Why Kenneth Walker has completely changed Kansas City's rushing attack

- 🛑 The key to slowing down Walker's explosive runs

- 👀 Why KC keeps running one direction in particular

- 😤 Where Maxx could have a major advantage attacking Patrick Mahomes

- ♟️ Rob Leonard's blitz dilemma against Mahomes

- 🧠 Kirk Cousins vs. Steve Spagnuolo

- 🚨 The coverage look that could cause BIG problems for the Raiders

- 🏴‍☠️ How Brock Bowers could attack Kansas City's secondary

- 🎲 Raiders Rounders with Matt Perrault

- 📊 Raiders-Chiefs betting breakdown and Week 4 picks
