Raiders Struggle with Offensive Consistency, Face Colts Challenge
The Las Vegas Raiders are struggling this NFL season, with a 1-3 record largely due to quarterback Geno Smith's performance, who leads the league in interceptions with seven over four games. Offensive Coordinator Chip Kelly attributes recent improvements in the Raiders' offense to better execution and teamwork rather than schematic changes, highlighting the importance of all 11 players contributing, especially in the running game. Despite some offensive progress, including a surge from rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, who returned to an upright stance to gain 138 rushing yards and multiple touchdowns, the Raiders face ongoing challenges with a battered offensive line, prompting coach Pete Carroll to name Stone Forsythe the new left tackle to stabilize the unit. Critics suggest that Smith's high turnover rate and risky play have hurt the team, and there are discussions about possibly benching him in favor of younger quarterbacks like Kenny Pickett if issues persist. The Raiders must now prepare to face the Indianapolis Colts' strong defense, testing whether their recent adjustments can end the losing streak. Meanwhile, unrelated NFL analysis shows the Detroit Lions' offense performs better without pre-snap motion, despite using it more frequently under new offensive coordinator John Morton.
