A great free safety adds more than his own playmaking to a defense, He elevates the play of the secondary and linebackers most of all. he allows them to play aggressively with less worry of blowing their assignment to pursue the great play (turnover or loss) with a safety blanket to cover their mistakes. I used to work with a guy who always said that its a piss poor painter that can't cover the carpenters mistakes". Free safeties are the painters that cover aggressive mistakes by the other players on defense. No more loose coverage on quick passes!
