Thats protecting the QB, no? As I've been saying all along lol...
Aside from protecting the QB - which gives him TIME - I guess they help receivers but ultimately receivers have to run their routes and shake the defense secondary with speed, wit and talent - TOO MUCH TIME gives the defense the advantage in most cases - which is why you tend to see a snap and less then 5 seconds pass thrown... TO keep the safeties on their toes.
