Raiders special teams: AJ Cole on point, Daniel Carlson’s miss highlight highs and lows in opener

Just Punt, Baby.

With the Las Vegas Raiders offense looking sluggish and unable to figure out to gain any semblance of consistency, AJ Cole III looked in midseason form in the regular season opener in last Sunday’s 22-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

The All-Pro punter sent five boots into orbit racking up 265 yards with a robust 53.0 average per kick with a long of 62 yards. Three of those five punts landed inside the Chargers’ 20-yard line (one was a touchback) as Cole played his part well of pinning Los Angeles deep in their own territory to start drives.
