Punter Dustin Colquitt currently leads the Kansas City Chiefs , and the NFL, in a few important punting categories. Ranking 16th and 22nd in punt and kick return coverage last season, the Chiefs are now one of four teams that rank in the top ten of both. An impressive turnaround I must say. This weekend, Colquitt and the Chiefs will face one of the better punters in the NFL. Mike Scifres of the Chargers...

Raiders punter Shane Lechler has no plans to intentionally try to hit the video boards in Dallas this week, although the idea is tempting. "I'm not going to go for it on purpose but if it's there, it's there," Lechler said Tuesday as the Raiders prepared for their first Thanksgiving Day game since 1970. "I'll check it out during pre-game, see how high it is." Lechler leads the NFL...

Raiders punter Shane Lechler was called out Tuesday, double-dog-dare-style, by Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, of all the dull people. Hit the overhanging scoreboard at sparkling new Cowboys Stadium? Phillips said fat chance when the Raiders play the Cowboys on...

Hey, your guys' drink stinks! [via sportsdesignblog.typepad.com ] To much of the NFL's surprise, the Cincinnati Bengals owned the AFC's number two record at 7-2 coming into today's battle with our 2-7 Oakland Raiders . To even more people's surprise, the Raiders were the ones that walked off the field a victor on Sunday afternoon. Trailing 14-0 early, the Raiders scored 10 points in the final 33 seconds...

The Cincinnati Bengals are for real, and that in itself is news. For the first time in franchise history, the Bengals have won five straight road games -- leaving the Ravens, the Texans and (astoundingly) the Lions, who have been around forever, as the only remaining teams to never win five straight away games. Both New Orleans and Indianapolis moved to 9-0 on Sunday, though the Colts' win could be...

The Oakland Raiders are preparing to face the Kansas City Chiefs and one of the top punters in the NFL in Dustin Colquitt . Colquitt's putting up some pretty impressive numbers at the halfway point and part of that has to do with a somewhat unorthodox kicking style - he's left-footed. To prepare for this, the Raiders worked out yesterday Ricky Schmitt who, you guessed it, is left-footed . He's likely...

Raiders punter Shane Lechler is chasing the ghost of Slingin' Sammy Baugh, and has been all his NFL life. Ten seasons into the hunt, Lechler is finally within kicking distance of a punting record thought to be unreachable by the modern leg: Baugh's 51.4-yard...

ALAMEDA When all Hades is breaking loose, when the very walls of the organization are crumbling, to whom do you think the young and impressionable denizens of Raider Nation turn a lonely eye? The quarterback? Nah, JaMarcus Russell is too busy deflecting criticism and loosening up his throwing arm by tossing receivers under the bus. The defensive ends who know what winning feels like after coming...

BRANT WARD S.F. Chronicle file, 2008 Johnnie Lee Higgins, who returned three punts for TDs last season, OAKLAND -- With his long, lanky build, John Fassel more closely resembles Ichabod Crane than your stereotypical football lifer. And yet, when the Raiders' first-year special-teams coach unloaded on his charges in a meeting last week, it was not all that surprising. After all, the Raiders' special...

Booming spirals by bigger kickers, like the Raiders’ Shane Lechler, are easier to control, more difficult to catch and harder to block.

Good morning. As you prepare to face the Oakland Raiders, you can’t help but see some very, very obvious things, arguably the best kicking game in football. (Shane) Lechler, (Sebastian) Janikowski, strong, strong legs; guys that boom the ball. They change field position on you. The punter, last week against Houston, after a safety he punts the ball from the [...]
