Defensive linemen
(1/1)
bsaucer:
In American football, players lined up within a yard of the line of scrimmage are called "linemen", while the others (more than a yard away) are "in the backfield". However, in CFL, the defense lines up a yard away from the football. Does that mean there are no "defensive linemen"? Are all defensive players said to be "in the backfield"?
JugglingReferee:
The US NZ is the football. Our NZ is 1 yard. B players 1 yard away from the tip of the ball are defensive linemen. Those further away are other positions.
