As to CB Vs S...
The primary difference between a CB and a Safety is that the CB’s primary objective is pass defense, while the Safeties [particularly the SS] are both pass and run defense. This is a very broad brush I am using here, as CBs are often used in run defense or in blitz packages. But as a rule of thumb, it is sound.
You could categorize Safeties as backups to the LB & CB positions in run and pass defense, respectively.
CBs must be quick and able to cover a WR.
SSs must be big hitters, as they often come up in run Defense.
FSs must be fast enough to cover ground and help out the CBs.
Clear as mud?
