He watches over every player on offense who could get the ball. Then, he assesses what might happen in the play. If he thinks that the quarterback will pass the ball, then he guards a wide receiver. If he thinks that the halfback or fullback will run the ball, then he prepares for the run. Essentially, he is the last line of defense on the defensive team.

A safety occurs when the team with offensive possession of the ball has backward motion into their endzone and is brought down. The defensive team is awarded two points and possession of the ball after a free kick by the offensive team.

The Safety is a defensive player who is usually positioned towards the back of the defense. Usually it is their job to monitor the receivers and try to intercept passes thrown to receivers or tackle receivers once they have the ball.

A Safety plays football.

a safety has nothing to do with this Basketball. If a safety did play in basketball (which it doesn't) it would probably guard its own net from the other team.

Safties are very free roaming and can do almost anything defensively. They are primarily defensive backs.

he is the last line of defense. He plays far away from the line of scrimige so he makes sure that the offense doesnt go long and scores an easy touchdown
