In just about every game this season the Raiders have had to go with the ‘next man up’ at one of the defensive back spots. As of now, the only DBs on the team who have not missed any time are safety Tre’von Moehrig and cornerback Marcus Peters.
Up until Sunday in Miami, Marcus Epps was on that list. But he was lost in the first quarter with a neck injury. Coming in for him was Isaiah Pola-Mao.
The former undrafted free agent out of USC played the final three quarters on defense (77%) while also performing his usual special teams duties (88%). His combined 77 snaps was the most on the team.
It also set several career highs for Pola-Mao. It was the most defensive snaps (54) of his career, the most special teams snaps of his career (23), the most tackles of his career (7). He also recorded his first career interception.
Epps is a solid safety. But the Raiders no doubt feel pretty good having Pola-Mao as an option should Epps miss extended time.
