Upon Further Review: A.J. Cole shares his side of the Winnipeg, Alberta story, talks life as the Raiders punter

We all had questions following the Oakland Raiders 22-21 win over the Green Bay Packers at IG Field in Winnipeg:

What was it really like playing on that 80-yard field?

What kind of unforeseen challenges did the reconfigured surface present?

Oh, and how on earth did A.J. Cole end up in a Winnipeg, Alberta shirt that resulted in him getting a little more publicity than he hoped for while abroad?

Well, this week the Upon Further Review crew gets those answers and more, as the Silver and Black prepare to wrap up the preseason Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks.

After getting through the housekeeping of the week – transactions, and a quick breakdown of what occurred on the field in Winnipeg – Eddie Paskal and Producer Trav welcome in the Raiders rookie punter.

During his time on the program, Cole talks about what life is like as the only punter on the roster, how holding is a vital part of his job description, and, yes, the infamous Winnipeg, Alberta incident.

Following No. 6's exit, Eddie and Trav welcome in Kyle Martin for "Victory Formation" where the trio discusses – among other things –if the Raiders will really carry three quarterbacks, thoughts from their game in Winnipeg, and if it's finally time for the NFL to reexamine the preseason.

(Spoiler alert: it is)
