defensive
In American football and Canadian football, defensive backs (DBs) are the players on the defensive team who take positions somewhat back from the line of scrimmage; they are distinguished from the defensive line players and linebackers, who take positions directly behind or close to the line of scrimmage. The defensive backs, in turn, generally are classified into several different specialized positions:
Safety:
Free safety – most often the deepest safety
Strong safety – the bigger more physical safety, much like a small, quicker linebacker
Defensive halfback (Canadian football only)
Cornerback – which include:
Nickelback – the fifth defensive back in some sets, such as the nickel formation
Dimeback – the sixth defensive back in some sets, such as the Dime formation
The seventh defensive back, in the exceedingly rare 'quarter' set, but often strong
known as a dollar back or a quarter back (not to be confused with the offensive player who throws the ball)
The group of defensive backs is known collectively as the secondary. They most often defend the wide receiver corps; however, at times they may also line up against a tight end or a split out running back.

Anyone know of a current offering that:

I realize stats can be interpreted every which way from Sunday and be all over the place in the accuracy dept. But for the sake of this discussion let's assume these stats are close to accurate. The author makes the case that states with the highest gun ownership have the highest suicide by gun...
Where are some excellent defensive handgun training classes in and around Washington and Oregon. The only one I’ve heard of is Seattle Firearms Academy in Onalaska Washington. I also need help with shooting low and left due to recoil anticipation.
