2 safeties should always be on the back end. Every time the safety comes up they break a big run. That’s because the safety can’t support the run like a 4th LB so it’s 10 against 11. I know they have to see this, just keep two back to help slow the big play runs down. On offense Max has to push the ball downfield to open the running lanes up. Everyone on defense can crowd and disquise the blitz from CB, S and LB if you are only looking to throw the ball 10 yards and below. That’s why the backup QB is more appealing because he is willing to take the top off the defense. Taking the top off the defense makes the safety and CB back up to cover longer routes which means the RB have more room to run.

Bro...

When offenses see Cover 2, it is very common for them to check to a run because of the safety that's NOT in the box.
The way you prevent the big runs like you're talking about is to tackle better.

Go back and watch the last two games. Every big play the safety was up. UCLA hit the crosser to the TE and yesterday the big run off tackle. The safety is in no mans land if they are back they can slow the play down until back side pursuit comes. It’s man to man with safety over the top.
