@@IsaacPuntsit’s not a joke, but if your offense can’t get to midfield, you have more opportunities to kick further without getting touchbacks. That’s the problem with judging punting on distance alone
@@markfinley3703 Yes I believe Jaeger went like 30/35 or something like that one year, and was overall very consistent after his first couple seasons in the league.
They also have had some iconic/great kickers over their years: George Blanda(Kicker and QB during his time with the Raiders), Sebastian Janikowski, and now Daniel Carlson. Raiders and special teams is something they've always had.
These past 20+ years by the Raiders have been a prime example that fantastic punting does not equate to winning. In other words, the offense and defense have failed the Raiders’ special teams unit year after year since 2002.
I am a huge Raiders fan for life. I sometimes find myself upset that the Raiders offense is bad enough to even allow a punter to have the chance to get a 50 yard average. I guess I’ll put it this way: Put AJ Cole on Brady’s Pats and AJ is an average yardage punter because he wouldn’t have the chance to launch bombs
Maybe the Chargers could've borrowed the Raiders' special teams units for the 2010 season. Number one overall offense, number one overall defense, team finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs.
@@kayleighlehrman9566damn dude. Brought back memories of watching football that time period. That chargers team was insane! But they failed at winning those big games
His personality ended his career. He was kicked off the Raiders cause he pissed off the locker room. Remember when he took that picture with Aqib Talib making fun of Crabtree and the necklace incident? Bruce Irvin almost beat his ass during that whole drama. Soon after he was off the team. No punter is worth a locker room cancer.
@@schmuckytheraiderbear5043 King serves as a good lesson for any punter that no matter how good you are, the position is seen as easily replaceable. Most coaches will take an average punter who doesn't hurt the locker room or take unnecessary penalties over a good punter who does.

Thanks for sharing. I remember watching Ray Guy on television growing up. He was phenomenal. I can't think of another team with the string of punting greats the Raiders have had. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular (and football fan)
You know I’ve been a Raiders fan my whole life! Never did I realize that we have been that dominant in a position for that long! The only guy I remember really is Ray Guy. That is when I was a kid and probably did look at positions in a different way. Since then, I think I’ve been the type of person that doesn’t care about a punter. Because that means we’re giving the ball up. “But” thank you for the history lesson and the importance of every player since I do admit, I lost sight of it. Great video and editing by the way!
this video makes me wonder how punting on 4th down became normalized and whether team roster sizes were embiggened specifically for punters/kickers, great vid! Way to make punting interesting
Ray Guy stands alone as the only punter in the Hall of Fame and the only one so far to deserve it. He was an athletic freak of nature. I watched his punts not just fly 60 yards but go as high as eye level where we sat in the upper tier of the Coliseum in Oakland. No other punters did that. No other punter even came close. His yearly average didn't reflect the power of his leg because often he had to do short punts that ruined that average because the Raiders offense got bogged down at the 50, for example, and he had a short field. But when he was deep in Raider territory and he had a clear reason to boot it as far as possible, he regularly kicked 60, 65 and sometimes 70 yards with them soaring to the sky so high that the hang time was as much as 5 seconds. He was astonishing and we fans would ooo and ahh at his punts. He's also the only one to hit the top of the Saint's enclosed stadium. He could change the field position battle with one punt. Yes, Ray Guy, the first round pick, changed football forever because of how he showed how a great punter could change the fortunes of a game. If the Raiders got trapped at around their 10 and forced to punt, the other team would salivate that they should have great field position around their own 40 after a 50 yard punt, assuming they didn't get a return of some kind. But then Guy would boot a massive 70 yard bomb that had the receiver retreating back and back and back to get it and by the time it finally came down he was surrounded by Raiders and they'd have to start at their 20, not their 40. There is just no one like him. One thing virtually no one knows about him is that he could throw a football like no one else. He could stand at one goal line, crank up his arm and drop a football at the other goal line. I've never seen a cannon of an arm like his. Ray Guy, Hall of Fame. You deserve it.
I remember being so disappointed that the Raiders didn't get JK Scott. They had actually traded up fro him, and the Packers took him one pick before the Raiders, so they settled with Townsend. Mind you, I was well aware of the history of punters on the Raiders. I grew up watching Lechler dominate for over a decade. I even tried being a punter myself when I was 12 (that didn't work lol), so I was hyper aware of the next punter for the Raiders. I remember seeing AJ Cole's first preseason game, and I just said, yep, that's the guy. Some teams are known for their linebacker history or QB's, but the Raiders will always be known for their punter history.
Lifelong Raiders fan, literally born and placed into a raiders carrier when I was brought home ,& the only jerseys ive ever bought are Lechler Carlson King & Michael Bush (if you know you know)
@@TheDreadedRaider TBF to Herbert, while I do think he was put on a pedestal way too early, he hasn't exactly had the greatest coaching situation to start a career with. Even if you like the coaches he's had(I mean, OCs & QB coaches aside, Staley didn't help...), he's going to be on his 4th OC/QB coaching change in 5 years this season. That's what killed Alex Smith's career, dude had 6 different OC/QB coaches in his first 7 seasons; unreal. No player can develop like that, especially a QB. This is the problem with the "first round bust" conversation, many of these players have their potential wasted by awful coaching and may have developed into something special with the right coaching. But that's the league.
Marquette King's personality ended his career. He was kicked off the Raiders cause he pissed off the locker room. Remember when he took that picture with Aqib Talib making fun of Crabtree and the necklace incident? Bruce Irvin almost beat his ass during that whole drama. Soon after he was off the team. No punter is worth a locker room cancer.
Giants probably had the best decade for a LB room ever from 1981-1990. Between Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, and Carl Banks they combined for 18 pro bowls, 5 second team all pros, 9 first team all pros, 2 hall of famers, and Lawrence Taylor was defensive rookie of the year, three time defensive player of the year, and won an MVP.
You can even go back a bit further as well, remember Carson was drafted in the 1970s during the Wilderness Era and there was Van Pelt. Probably among the few things they did right in the draft during that period.
Isaac (or anyone else reading this), can you help me find info about a memorable punt I have never forgotten since seeing it on TV in my childhood? I'm 99% sure it was Ray Guy - at least that's what I remembered through the decades. It had the weirdest bounce ever - it landed right on the goal line, bounced straight up and landed on the goal line again, over and over until it laid to rest on the goal line. I thought I remembered it as having been nicknamed (by the announcer or some reporter afterwards) "A Bean Too Much", because if it had been just inches shorter, it would have been a weird miracle punt instead of a touchback. Whether I remember the nickname correctly or not, I would think it would have made its way onto the internet as something fascinating, but I have searched for it several times in multiple ways and never found a peep about it. Perhaps you can find it, since you are great at digging into the history of punting.
@@MrShanester117 Of course not a *personal* researcher - I should have worded my comment better, as I can see how it might sound that way. I was thinking that he might already know about it, since he did research on Ray Guy, and also that it might be helpful for any future videos Isaac might do involving Ray Guy. Also, I didn't know if one of the other people reading the comments might remember it.
Also Fullbacks are an underrated spot on our rosters. I mean today there like 24 fullbacks. Former Raiders make up a good spot of them. Alec Ingold, Jakob Johnson, Jason Cabinda (was an LB for us), Jamize Olawale, Keith Smith…
I have Ray Guy's autograph on a t-shirt I made. It said Ray Guy, Hall of Fame, if Ray's not in, the Hall is lame. This was 2 years before the Hall FINALLY did the obvious thing and inducted him. Ray struck me as the consummate Southern Gentleman. He was not hostile about it, he was extremely polite to everyone. Just a pleasure to listen to.
I think we are just seeing the beginning of Green Bay with QBs. Before farve got there they didn't have anyone since Superbowl was invented. But still almost 30 years is nothing to sneeze at
For what's its worth as a raider fan we never worry about our kickers and punters they turn out good but the problem is you cant win football games on kicks and punts alone.
As a Raider fan I always find it funny when media put other teams special teams as great. Raiders special teams are usually on another level. There have been so many Raiders games where the Special Teams have literally kept in the game and won it for the Raiders. I once saw a 99 yard punt by Shane Lechler. He single handed helped us win games. Just yesterday against Baltimore helped us win by shanking the punt and illegal formation with 2 minutes left.
If you watched Ray Guy back in the day, you know that he was one of the primary ingredients to the Raider dynasty (1976-1983). Raiders love their punters.
Could you make a video talking about the different types of punts that you listed in the video? Thought everyone just tried to bomb it as hard as they could until today. Id just wanna see something with some examples maybe and a brief description. I know it's a lot to ask but figured I would anyways 😁 if you read this thanks for your time!
Raider fan here I seen at lot of terrible offensive play so many 4th downs we punt so much that our punters had no other choice but to be great even today Aj Cole is one of the best punters in the league and our kicker be great to cause we rarely score TDs
Pittsburgh Steelers Coaches is the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. I'm 40. There have been 3. Likely for you there have only been 2 in your lifetime lol
I would say the 49ers legacy at linebacker is extremely impressive. Mitch Wishnowski is a good punter too, but the 49ers don’t punt enough for him to shine
If it weren’t for the past 15 years I might say the Raiders’ CB/DB group was all world. From Willy Brown and Jack Tatum, to Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes, to Charles Woodson and Eric Allen, to Nnamdi Asomugha, the CB position was a Raider tradition. But the last 20 years have been, well, not good.
I think King would have worked out if our HC was like AP. But I also agree that you can't be giving up penalties as a punter. Especially excessive celebration penalties 😂
Raiders the only team to draft a punter and a kicker in the first round Raiders also drafted Janikowski (first round,#17), Lechler (fifth round, #142), all before Tom Brady (sixth round, #199)
King could also run fakes or salvage bad snaps into 1st downs running. To your question Green Bay with QB's and Steelers with coaches is the only groups I can think about off the top of my head.
Hey, Mr. Narrator, if you're posting videos about the Raiders, you just CANNOT butcher the pronunciation of John Matuszak. Hint: His nickname was "The Tooz." You pronounced it, "John MATIZIK. He's Raiders royalty. So, say it like, "MA-TOOZ-AK!!!" :-)
I get this channel geeks out over punters, and while Ray Guy was truly great, simply put, using a First Round Pick on a punter is absolutely insane. As good as Mr. Guy was, there is a concept in economics called Opportunity Cost at play here. They aren't just selecting Ray Guy. The Raiders are NOT selecting lots of other talented players. How much yardage does Ray Guy get you every week? 20 yards more than a replacement level punter? 40? No punter in the world is worth the talent you are giving up by drafting him. Three Hall of Famers were undrafted behind him: WR Drew Pearson, OG Joe DeLamielluere, and some QB from Oregon named Dan Fouts. Just the CHANCE to get any of those guys in the draft would be better than drafting a punter. It's like Devin Hester. Okay, fine. You have to put him in the Hall of Fame? Last time I checked, TDs on returns are worth the same as other TDs. Every yard Mr. Guy saves you is just one yard. Yes, Special Teams are important, but let's not get crazy here. It's still the third most important unit of a team, and it always will be.
Well they won three Super Bowls from 76 to 83 so i would say it turned out alright, they were loaded already when they drafted Guy and that was the era before free agency and the salary cap so keeping your talent was easier back then.
@@Mr.MikeBarksdale Aging Ken Stabler? In 1973? Ken Stabler won the MVP that season. lol It was also his first full year as starter and yeah, he was better than Fouts. Who the hell was Fouts in '73? Chargers didn't catch on until years later. His supporting HOF teammates were, Otto, Upshaw, Shell, Brown, Biletnikoff, and Branch.
Vikings on wrs Carter moss Thielen harvin diggs Jefferson Packers on qb is obvious to look into I’m thinking rams RBs but don’t feel like looking it up but you know the rams have had running backs
Your statement that punting started to become important only in the 1950's is horribly misinformed, especially for a channel dedicated to punting. Punting was a major tactical part of the game in the early years of the NFL. Might be worth you doing some research for another video, although there's pretty scant video from that period.
I think he meant drafting punting specialists as a position player… Even so he’d still be wrong. The first punting specialist to be drafted as a position specific punter wasn’t until 1966 when the Chiefs drafted Jerrel Wilson. Up until then punting was done by any other position player who could perform the function of a punter as a secondary role

How did they play before punting just give the other team the ball after turning it over on downs?
I'm still waiting on the video about CFL Punters.
I guess the Raiders have a Dynas "kicking"tee????
I think King would have worked out if our HC was like AP.
But I also agree that you can't be giving up penalties as a punter. Especially excessive celebration penalties 😂
Kinda sad that’s our flex
When I think of dominance at one position for decades it would be the packers with their QBs, and maybe the Titans for RBS
Well done
Do Raider Field Goal Kickers.
packers with quarterbacks did the same thing
Have you seen the bears punter from ia? Pretty talented guy, without him the don't go to the big ten championship game. Anyhoo🤘
Raiders the only team to draft a punter and a kicker in the first round Raiders also drafted Janikowski (first round,#17), Lechler (fifth round, #142), all before Tom Brady (sixth round, #199)
I think Mitch Wishnowsky is just as good as cole but that may be just me? Mitch puts those footballs in consistently great spots for the 49ers defense
I always liked king as a punter , should of signed him
7:20 "they actually almost brought him in a couple times" huh? 😂
King could also run fakes or salvage bad snaps into 1st downs running. To your question Green Bay with QB's and Steelers with coaches is the only groups I can think about off the top of my head.
John “mad a sack”? Haha
He got Sisemore wrong too.
Vikings and wide receivers.
Hey, Mr. Narrator, if you're posting videos about the Raiders, you just CANNOT butcher the pronunciation of John Matuszak. Hint: His nickname was "The Tooz." You pronounced it, "John MATIZIK. He's Raiders royalty. So, say it like, "MA-TOOZ-AK!!!"
:-)
Song at 14:20?
I BETTER HAVE A MAHOMES THAN A RAY GUY.
We do got the kicking team on lock That's a fact
All I know, mon ami, is that this coward refused to enter the '84 game, against the Bears...as QB. Almost peed-his-pants, he did !
You should do colts running backs they have are the best at drafting them ederain James Marshall Faulk jt and Hines
AJ might honestly be the best yet
John cis a more?
🦁 Now! 😊⚒️💙
Great video, I’m an AI- Prove you’re an Al Davis too

I get this channel geeks out over punters, and while Ray Guy was truly great, simply put, using a First Round Pick on a punter is absolutely insane. As good as Mr. Guy was, there is a concept in economics called Opportunity Cost at play here. They aren't just selecting Ray Guy. The Raiders are NOT selecting lots of other talented players. How much yardage does Ray Guy get you every week? 20 yards more than a replacement level punter? 40? No punter in the world is worth the talent you are giving up by drafting him.
Three Hall of Famers were undrafted behind him: WR Drew Pearson, OG Joe DeLamielluere, and some QB from Oregon named Dan Fouts.
Just the CHANCE to get any of those guys in the draft would be better than drafting a punter.
It's like Devin Hester. Okay, fine. You have to put him in the Hall of Fame? Last time I checked, TDs on returns are worth the same as other TDs. Every yard Mr. Guy saves you is just one yard. Yes, Special Teams are important, but let's not get crazy here. It's still the third most important unit of a team, and it always will be.
Well they won three Super Bowls from 76 to 83 so i would say it turned out alright, they were loaded already when they drafted Guy and that was the era before free agency and the salary cap so keeping your talent was easier back then.
They could afford to take a punter in the first round because their team was literally filled with hall of famers.
@@osaji922 Really? Aging Ken Stabler was better than a young Dan Fouts? I mean, that's absurd.
@@Mr.MikeBarksdale Aging Ken Stabler? In 1973? Ken Stabler won the MVP that season. lol It was also his first full year as starter and yeah, he was better than Fouts. Who the hell was Fouts in '73? Chargers didn't catch on until years later. His supporting HOF teammates were, Otto, Upshaw, Shell, Brown, Biletnikoff, and Branch.
It's called having a stagnant offense
Vikings on wrs Carter moss Thielen harvin diggs Jefferson
Packers on qb is obvious to look into
I’m thinking rams RBs but don’t feel like looking it up but you know the rams have had running backs
running backs is probably chiefs up until recently when Reid changed the offensive scheme
Raiders, baby...
man u messed up u didnt talk about janakowski well u did but not the right name it wasnt shane it was sebastion janakowski
I think that my all time goat punter is pat mcafee, anyone else?

Your statement that punting started to become important only in the 1950's is horribly misinformed, especially for a channel dedicated to punting. Punting was a major tactical part of the game in the early years of the NFL. Might be worth you doing some research for another video, although there's pretty scant video from that period.
I think he meant drafting punting specialists as a position player…
Even so he’d still be wrong. The first punting specialist to be drafted as a position specific punter wasn’t until 1966 when the Chiefs drafted Jerrel Wilson. Up until then punting was done by any other position player who could perform the function of a punter as a secondary role
