Raiders Jermaine Eluemunor on Blocking for Zamir White

The Raiders are very fortunate to have a very talented offensive line. The group was the leading producer for star running back Josh Jacob's phenomenal 2022-23 NFL season.

The main impact, which led to Josh Jacobs being crowned the league 2022-23 NFL rushing leader, was correct tackle Jermaine Eluemunor.

Josh Jacobs has yet to start training camp for the Raiders this offseason and there is no timetable on when he will return to the team. Despite not having Josh Jacobs in the Raiders' running back room, other running backs like Zamir White have been stepping up.

Jermaine Eluemunor had the chance to speak to the media on what it is like blocking for a different running back in Zamir White.

"Yeah, I talk to him all the time. He is a hell of a back. I don't think anyone is like Josh [Jacobs] in the league. I think Josh is one of a kind, and I can't wait to get him back. But Zeus [White] is definitely a guy. We're lucky to have him because, like him and Josh are two different guys. Josh can run you over or juke you out. Zamir is just going to run head first and run you over, he doesn't care, and it's cool playing for guys like that because you know if you open up a hole and he gets to the safety, nine times out of ten, he's going to run him over and score. So like I said, Josh is - there's no one like him - but we're lucky to have a guy like Zeus and even the other backs, too like Brandon [Bolden], Ameer [Abdullah], Brit [Brittain Brown] a lot of them bring something else to the game. And like we always say, like Josh [McDaniels] always says, it's next man up mentality. You can't let one guy not being here affect the way you play out there. We've got to keep going. Like I said, I hope we get him back, and I can't wait to get him back because it will just add on to this offense that we have here.'

The Silver and Black open the preseason by hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Aug. 13, at 4 p.m. EDT/1 p.m. PDT.
