If you figure that is the average starting point after a safety, then a safety is, in essence, a 3.8 point play.
I don't follow that because you essentially forced a turnover by getting the safety. You're double counting the effect of the actual play here. The new possession has nothing to do with the safety.


2 points is fair.
