  American football defensive schemes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Players on the defensive side of the ball are generally split between down linemen (tackles, defensive ends and nose guards), linebackers, and defensive backs (safeties and cornerbacks).
The number of defensive backs is usually not mentioned (as it is, for example, in describing soccer alignments).
For example, on plays where a running back runs wide, it is the responsibility of the cornerback to ensure that the running back does not get directly to the sideline, and that the back is forced to run in front of the cornerback where there is more likely to be help from linebackers.

 NFLHS.com - Tips & Drills - Interceptions
For a defensive back, there is no greater thrill than intercepting an opponent's pass, then avoiding the offensive players who are trying to tackle him, and returning the ball for a touchdown.
Defensive backs who make great interceptions do so not because of blind luck but because of hard work, hours of studying the opponent so that they mentally can see the pass before it ever is thrown, and correctly playing the defense called.
If the defensive back sees that the pass is going to be caught at his chest or lower, he must cup his hands, palms up, with his little fingers touching, ready to receive the ball.

 Strat-O-Matic Football Computer Game Rules
Also, each defensive lineman and linebacker's ratings against the run and pass rush are denoted and each defensive back's defense rating is listed.
For example, in a 3-4 defense with the highest rated blitzing linebacker (whose pass rush rating is 4) as the indicated pass rusher, two additional blitzing linebackers would increase his rating to 5.
Starting with a 4-3 defense, replace middle linebacker with a defensive back who may be placed in the short or long pass zones.

 NFLHS.com - Tips & Drills - The Backpedal
The defensive back must picture in his mind what he must do, actually lifting his feel and stepping backwards, pulling his body in the direction that he wishes to go.
Once a defensive back has mastered the technique of running backwards in a straight line, he must learn to change direction, or angle, without crossing his legs or being forced out of his normal backward-running motion.
The closer a defensive back is to the man he is to cover, the more disciplined he must be in his stance.

When playing five defensive backs, the one question that always comes is, "what about stopping the run versus a team that is big and physical?" We believe that you can hold up against the run with five defensive backs, as well as you can with three or four backs.
In 1999, we led the country in total defense and we allowed only two running plays over 20 yards the entire year, and they were a reverse and a great run where the running back broke a number of tackles late in the game.
When playing five defensive backs, it is really easy to develop a great deceptive blitz package that is both player and coach friendly.
