I’m sorry, but this isn’t true. Holder should have done better research. Safeties are usually the second choice to call plays behind a ILB. Plenty of teams have done it and do it today. Especially if they run a rotation at linebacker, which is also not unusual either. Rams, Ravens, Giants, Packers, Steelers, Saints, Eagles have all done it off the top of my head. You have a smart safety that stays on the field every down they usually get the nod.
