Safeties are generally the last line of defense. In standard formations, the safeties generally each guard one half of the deep field. The "strong" safety is generally the bigger defensive back and typically lines up on the "strong side" of the offensive line, where the tight end and right tackle usually start the play. He is more likely to be helpful in run support. The free safety, in comparison, is smaller and faster and can therefore provide extra pass support. In standard "Cover 1" defensive calls, the free safety is usually the defense man that covers the deep field by himself.

28. If the "Sam" is the strong side linebacker, and the "Will" is the weak side linebacker, who is the middle linebacker?

From Quiz American Football Positions and Tactics

Answer: Mike

Linebackers are generally given code names to distinguish where they stand at the start of play. The Sam linebacker, like the strong safety, generally lines up against the offense's strong side, and will sometimes cover the tight end on pass plays. The Will linebacker generally offers additional pass rushing abilities on the so-called Will blitz play, since the left tackle is generally the offense's best pass blocker, and a Will Blitz will tend to overwhelm the weak side. The "Mike" is the middle linebacker and he is usually referred to as the "quarterback of the defense", as he is the one that receives the play calls from the defensive coordinator and may call audibles and adjustments at his leisure.

29. The American Football League (AFL) played its first season in 1960 with eight teams. Which team won the first AFL crown?

30. The touchdown area is called the what?

From Quiz Gridiron for Dummies

Answer: End zone
