In the movie Training day, during Jake and Alonzo's initial meeting with Roger the following dialogue occurs:
ROGER: Where you grew up?
JAKE: North Hollywood.
ROGER: Strong safety, North Hollywood High.
Seeing Alonzo's confusion, Roger further elaborates --
ROGER: I follow all the good players.
What does Roger mean by "players"?
Strong Safety is a position in American football and North Hollywood High is a public high school.
Safety, historically known as a safetyman, is a position in American and Canadian football played by a member of the defense. The safeties are defensive backs who line up from ten to fifteen yards from the line of scrimmage. There are two variations of the position in a typical American formation: the free safety (FS) and the strong safety (SS).
