Raiders OC wants change"},"content":{"rendered":"

When Ashton Jeanty makes his NFL debut with the Las Vegas Raiders this season, he could also be debuting a new stance before the snap<\/em> on the field.<\/p>\n\n

Since high school, Jeanty has stood with his hands at his sides on the field before the start of the play, a posture that some have compared to Michael Myers, the infamous killer from the horror films “Halloween”.<\/p>\n\n

Certainly, this has not prevented him from succeeding in the field: he comes from a season in which he was runner-up for the Heisman Trophy for Boise State, where he ran for 2,601 yards, the second-most in a season in FBS history, only behind Barry Sanders, who ran for 2,628 yards for Oklahoma State in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ashton Jeanty dice que el coordinador ofensivo de los Raiders, Chip Kelly, quiere que ajuste su postura previa al snap en la NFL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

However, Chip Kelly, the Raiders’ offensive coordinator, wants him to take a different stance in the NFL. The process began on the first day of the Raiders’ recent minicamp.<\/p>\n\n

“You know, sometimes you have to, you know, go with the flow,” Jeanty said.<\/p>Interview with “Up & Adams Show”<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Jeanty recounted that Kelly asked him: “Have you ever played basketball?” And I replied: “Yes, I play basketball, you know, I can dunk and all that.” He said: “OK, show me how you would defend me,” and acted as if he were holding the ball.”<\/p>\n\n

Then he proceeded to demonstrate the stance with Adams and said that Kelly told him: “That’s exactly why you have to be in your running back stance.”<\/p>\n\nJeanty said Kelly “won for now,” but is not totally relinquishing her signature stance.\n\n

“I’m going to try to persuade him someday. I have to earn my stripes and make some plays first, but I don’t think it’s the end [of the stance],” he said.<\/p>Ashton Jeanty<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Jeanty said he had fun last year with social media posts comparing his pre-snap<\/em> stance to Myers’s, and even dressed up as the iconic movie killer for an Instagram post last year. He has said that stance was about being relaxed and comfortable.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
