Safeties Need This One Thing the Most

[@rockysutton1266]

I absolutely agree my son Elijah Sutton is a safety and he reads coverages like a young Sean Taylor/ Ed reed he plays for the West Covina Bruin’s he is 12u pop Warner his IQ IS OFF THE CHARTS all he do is film study and from practice to the real game he’s outstanding with your tips and watching all concepts on defense & offense he understands how to use the width & length of the field he has a 3.8 GPA & it shows on the field I truly believe as long as he keep doing what he is doing it’s going to get him exactly we’re he wants to be & that’s standing right by the side of guy’s like you thx for all your DB tips and coverage film study break downs Elijah has & is taking full advantage of your lessons and is trilled to show it on game day under the bright light’s.

how'd your season go man Im starting freshman year safety

[@diahBOZ]

140?!! 😳😳

[@CookedGames281]

Love the tips coach. Always heard this aging when I played in the centerfield See a lot, you see nothing See a little, you see everything Too much information will freeze the best athletes in space causing touchdowns or first downs for the opposing offense. Seeing and reading your keys and flying 100% with them can lead you to those turnovers and to the crib!

[@GridironStuds]

Thank you and that's a great quote

[@jackcompton3290]

you honestly just helped me out so much i’ve been trying to watch every single receiver and the run play instead of the qb

[@MrStLDiehard]

This video is right on time! My son is about to start high school ball this fall and he wants to make safety his primary position. Your explanation of why a Safety needs to have higher football IQ over a CB is exactly what I’ve been expressing to him. Great video.

Thank you

[@landongillenwater6670]

I’m a safety, i am 5’11 and around 135. I’m still gaining weight and hope to be around 160 by the end of my freshmen year. But my coach doesn’t recognize me, I do good in games with atleast 5 tackles per game. Haven’t had one pass complete on me, nor any runs past me. But he doesn’t notice that and I also play Free and Strong. Still 2nd string for them both though.

[@ASAPBash]

I was the same exact way except I was 5’9 and 120 now I’m 5’9 and 135

[@GridironStuds]

Yes, perfect example of how skills from another sport come into play in football. The playbook will be confusing at first no doubt but with continued time studying the game, it will get easier. Enjoy the journey

[@archiewills5502]

Reloading a dead comment, but I must say coming from Europe rugby really helps people translate to football.

[@gabrielsa9751]

Same here I was not that great with the ball on my feet, but I knew my strength was both the defensive and the "brain" I tried to be a "libero", a "sweeper", a "quarto zagueiro" or even a "metronome def midfielder" but is hard to be a pirlo or a backembawer without great ball control and passing to be a playmaker So, turns out the local american football club liked me and I just need to get bulkier (I'm 1.82 but only 74kg now) But despite it I have a low center of gravity so lets see how it works

[@cerya4307]

im good at football but im underated on offense so thats why i like to play safety you stll get to have the ball a lot and you also get to make hard hits and ive been practing for safety for all my life for safety and this video helped so thank you very much

[@yoavbeneliyahu6686]

The intelligence is everything,scholar safety is my thing. Usually before games i watch film of the rival team and drawing their plays. One game i moved to safety and i paralyzed half oftheir offense in two plays. The second half was really boring because the qb didnt threw anything at my direction.

[@JBCUBINGJOURNEY]

thank you for this, when I play, the quarterback looks at the receivers as they run the play. This helps me read the quarterback and gives me a 6 interception game, but i suck at tackling so i’ll work on that

Well for one, stop over thinking. Trust what you see but let's make sure you are seeing the right things. Also, make sure you understand your defense and where you are supposed to be. Make sure you are doing your job and don't pressure yourself into trying to do everyone else's job.

Good tips . I play a lot of flag . I just moved from WR to safety full time. I make plays but it feel like it’s just off instinct. I feel I need to dig deeper and really learn more to build field IQ of the position. If that make sense 😂 . Had a tournament in my city over the weekend and we lost in the championship from alot of blown plays not the norm for us but it got ugly … Appreciate the tips ima dig deeper 🙏🏿💯

Coming from the offensive side of the ball you will have solid instincts as you will recognize concepts faster. Burglars would create the best alarm companies.

Imma sophomore and it’s my 1st year playing football and they got me playing safety. Totally confused I understand almost non of the verbiage. would so much rather play db. We don’t even have a goddamn playbook I can look at offense and defense. We’re completely signal based. We only have 20min meetings and when the coach is writing on the board it looks like a bunch of scribble

[@GridironStuds]

That's not uncommon. Many coaches make the assumption that players know that the players understand the terminology and are grasping what is being put on the white board. People learn in different ways. Some can learn from film, some can learn from the whiteboard and others need walk throughs. That's why all 3 should be a part of the routine. What you should do is not be afraid to ask questions. It shows the coach that you are engaged.
