HORRIBLE COMPARISON AND SHOWS YOUR LACK OF FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE.

A defensive back has completely different assignments.

However, since you brought it up, I played safety usually, and I'd play the run more and wouldn't back pedal as much at the snap in running situations or if it appeared to be a running down.

That is pretty basic football knowledge.  Surprised you did not know that.

Then why would they get by the defensive lineman, too?

Screens are what you're thinking of that typically only work in a blitz.
