The Raiders SB Nation site, Silver and Black Pride, had this to say about Karl’s first start in the NFL.
Yes, the final of the Raiders four starting defensive backs. As a safety, when you lead the team in tackles (10) while not being on the hook for any big plays, you’ve done your job. If you wanted a peek at the alternative, you got it too. Keith McGill came in the game for a total of two defensive snaps and one of them he gave up a 17-yard catch to the tight end on third and six.
