]]> Safeties may not be regarded as the most important defensive positions in the NFL. In this generation many football experts would say that the most important defensive position is an elite pass rusher. But this should not minimize how valuable safeties can be, as they are often the final barrier in keeping the opposing offenses out of the end zone.

The Dallas Cowboys have had some good safeties including 6 time Pro Bowler Cliff Harris(1970-1979), Charlie Waters(1970-1981) with 3 Pro Bowls, 5 time Pro Bowler Darren Woodson(1992-2003), and Roy Williams(2002-2008) with 5 Pro Bowls. While Roy Williams was great at stopping the run, his weakness was giving up big pass plays. Williams was released after the 2008 season.
