Of the Ty Law quotes going around, the most interesting to me is
I read that as saying that when he was going to break the scheme to gamble on a play, he warned the safety first to cover the opening he was going to create in the defense by doing so.
Alternatively, you can say that that's a case of a rare read coming up within the scheme, sufficiently rare that the guys need to communicate verbally to make sure they all see it the same way.

I think I suddenly understand better how it can make sense to gamble within a BB scheme.
Ensure your safeties have your back. “Any time you can have a communication with your safety, that’s going to make you a lot more comfortable as a cornerback. When you’re out there, a lot of times it’s just you and your receiver. I used to be like ‘Rodney (Harrison)' or ‘Lawyer (Milloy), I see something, take my back.’ You can’t put a price on that type of comfort. If I guess wrong, guess what? Rodney’s going to make that play, Lawyer’s going to make that play. You have a lot of safeties who are not willing to do that."
