The two punters split time in the game. Cole had four punts and Townsend had three. And even with Townsend launching a 55-yard punt in the game, Cole still had a better average (43.0 yards per punt). Cole also had two punts stopped inside the 20 while Townsend had none.Here’s how their punts went: Townsend — 34 yards to the 21, 55 yards returned 6 yards to the 23, 38 yards fair caught at the 20.Cole — 46 yards fair caught at the 29, 33 yards downed at the 10, 44 yards downed at the 31, 49 yards fair caught at the 18.This performance is not shocking. Townsend hasn’t looked really any different than he did last season when he was statistically the worst punter in football. Meanwhile the upstart Cole has done well with the occasional moon shot, showcasing his potential as a punter.I wrote of Cole this camp, comparing him to former Raiders punter Marquette King. Gruden did that and more following Saturday’s game.“We’ve got a battle there,” said Gruden. “I think Townsend has got his hands full in AJ Cole. It’s going to be interesting down the stretch. Cole proved he can kick off which adds to his versatility. He downed it inside the 20 a couple times. He put an orbital display the other day against the against the Rams. We haven’t seen kicks like that since [Shane] Lechler was here or [Marquette] King. This guy really has a live leg and it looks like he can directional punt and hold. So Townsend has his hands full. We like Townsend too. It will be a battle here in the next couple weeks.”Gruden talks about there being a punter battle in Oakland while simultaneously talking like there really isn’t much of a battle anymore. And, honestly, there may not be. Cole has thoroughly outperformed incumbent Johnny Townsend. Gruden isn’t just trying to talk up a young player, he’s merely calling it as it is.Follow @LeviDamien Lamarcus Joyner has not played a snap for the Oakland Raiders, but he already holds a special place in Jon Gruden’s mind.

When Gruden won his only Super Bowl defeating the Raiders in 2003 Kenny Stabler Jersey , his defense boasted a small yet talented defensive back in Ronde Barber. Gruden sees a resemblance between Joyner and Barber. “When I was in Tampa, I coached a guy named Rond#33541; Barber,” Gruden said at the league meeting in Arizona this week. “He might have been perhaps my favorite player I’ve ever coached. He wasn’t the biggest guy, he wasn’t the fastest guy, but when he put the helmet on something happened to that guy. Joyner to me is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to Ronde, as a slot corner. I think he’s the best. I think he’s got a chance to really be dynamic in there, his leadership . . . There’s something about this guy that’s special.”The similarities are not difficult to find. Both Joyner and Barber are under-sized, 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10 respectively, have played safety in addition to corner and make a major impact on defense.The comparison to Barber is also no joke. It is almost the ultimate praise for a slot corner. In 2001, Barber hauled in 10 interceptions for the Buccaneers and ended his career with 47 interceptions (47th all-time) along with 15 forced fumbles. However, the comparison fails in one key category. Joyner, with four career interceptions in five seasons, is nowhere near the game-changer that Barber was in terms of having a nose for the football. In addition, Joyner has seen a lot of snaps at safety recently whereas Barber only made the move near the tail-end of his career. Joyner is talented and versatile, but he is a long ways away from being at Barber’s level. Though Gruden truly believes that Joyner has the ability to wreak havoc on defense like his former elite defensive back in Tampa. [/quote]   Seleziona qui per inserire la tua firma.
