Our safeties are key to our bend-dont-break philosophy and they are instructed to NOT take chances. Having our guys stay back more than most isnt really doing a whole lot.
Bates alone i think proves my point. We asked him to do everything but run support pretty much. I’d be surprised if many other safeties covered the ground Bates did.
