If your to judge Tom McMahon’s Las Vegas Raiders special teams unit on the battery of long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer, place kicker Daniel Carlson, and punter and holder AJ Cole III alone, the grizzled coach has an elite group.
Beyond the kick squad, however, the Silver & Black severely lack in the return game. Sure, the NFL has diminished kickoff returns greatly in the name of player safety, but returning punts still remains in play and a field-flipping opportunity.
There was a time when it was guaranteed the Raiders would deploy an electrifying speedster to return punts.
