Halfback ( Canadian football ) The halfback in Canadian football , and most commonly the Canadian Football League , refers to the defensive back rather than the running back , as in American football . The defensive halfback lines up inside covering the slotback . They are usually slightly larger than the cornerback to assist the linebacker s in stopping the run . They can also be seen backing off the line early , to counter the forward motion of a slotback , which is allowed before the snap in the CFL . The cause of the difference in naming between the two positions between the American and Canadian game , which otherwise uses the same names for positions , stems from the early history of the game . In both games , the early formations featured identical offensive and defensive formations , with seven down linemen and four players ( five in Canada ) in the backfield . Thus , both offense " and " defense had quarterbacks , halfbacks and fullbacks . Over the course of the 20th century , the American and Canadian games both placed an increased emphasis on forward pass ing , resulting in both offensive and defensive formations spreading out and morphing into modern formations . Furthermore , the abolition of the one - platoon system in the 1940s led to a tendency for position names being used on only one side of the ball . The American game , which still held a significant running component , kept two running backs , which led to the retention of the " halfback " and " fullback " identifications on that side of the ball . In Canadian football , however , passing was a greater portion of the game ( due in part to the larger field and fewer downs in that game , and only one running back was regularly used , leading to the offensive distinction between halfback and fullback becoming obsolete . Thus , Canadian football kept the halfback distinction for defense instead of offense .
