Answer
Playing good safety requires being a good tackler. You are the last person in the defense, if the runner gets by the linebackers you have to make the tackle or you will give up a touchdown. You also must never let any receiver get behind you. A good safety helps his corners out, and makes sure passes don't go over the top. GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON COACH NOEL!
