There’s no doubt Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty looked much better in the Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but he did have a particularly ugly rep in the process.
Jeanty didn’t put up gaudy numbers by any stretch, but he looked more comfortable and showed great vision, power and agility in his second NFL game. It also helped that Las Vegas’ blocking was better than it was in Week 1.
However, his worst rep of the game came on a passing play when he was in pass protection.
Jeanty got pushed by a Chargers defender and ended up behind quarterback Geno Smith, but the young running back appeared to totally give up on the play, which led to Smith getting rocked.
“Ashton Jeanty casually letting his QB get rocked,” former NFL player Clay Harbor pointed out on X. “He’s not looking good in pass pro.”

Yeah, that is not a good look for Jeanty. The Raiders will almost certainly address that with him over the course of this coming week.
If he keeps doing stuff like that, Jeanty could lose the trust of the coaching staff when it comes to getting snaps on passing downs.
That said, Jeanty will likely be the first one to admit he messed up there and we’re fully confident the young running back will correct his blunder moving forward.
