The Las Vegas Raiders once again failed to establish the run in Sunday's blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers. They were defeated 38-17 in Week 9, with struggling sophomore Ashton Jeanty rushing for 25 yards on just six attempts. Despite the ongoing struggles, former Pro Bowl Raider Marcel Reece believes Jeanty will eventually turn the corner.

Raiders fans wondered how head coach Klint Kubiak would address the division of labor in Sunday's matchup versus the 49ers. Last weekend, rookie Mike Washington Jr. served as the primary back. That wasn't totally the case in Week 9, with Washington matching Jeanty's six carries, but he was ineffective, producing -3 yards.

Reece sees Washington as Jeanty's potential counterpart.

Coach Kubiak is attempting to sort through the Raiders' run-game struggles. He oversaw an excellent rushing attack as the offensive coordinator of the Super Bowl-winning Seattle Seahawks last season. That inspires confidence that Kubiak will figure it out eventually.

The Raiders need to start finding (and then sustaining) some ground-game success soon.
