Individually, the offensive player has the advantage on a slippery field. He knows where he wants to go and therefore can prepare better for sharp or sudden direction changes. The defender must react, and is therefore more likely to try to cut aggressively, and therefore slip. However, this advantage is at least partially negated by the slick ball and conditions making things tougher for the QB to throw accurately, and for the runner to cut effectively as he tries to react the the shifting holes in the running game. Also on sloppy fields, the defense may either give extra cushion and play softer zones, OR may do the opposite, jamming the receiver at the line to make it harder for him to leverage his advantage. It's also more difficult for the quarterback to set and throw, making a good pass harder to throw, and therefore helps the defensive backs.
It refers to the number of defensive backs on the field.In a conventional defensive alignment, 4 defensive backs (two corners, free safety, strong safety) are on the field.In a "nickel" package, an extra defensive back plays (usually another corner), bringing the total to 5.In a "dime" package, two extra defensive backs play (either two corners, or, less commonly, a corner and a third safety), bringing the total to 6.It is rare, but not unheard of for 7 defensive backs to be in the field in "prevent" formation to defend against a "hail mary" pass. In this case, often wide receivers are sometimes instead of true defensive backs because they are often taller.
I like to play with a team that has a team of good Defensive Backs. Like the Steelers, Ravens and the Jets. This allows you to blitz and be confident that you have good Defensive Backs in the back field.
Forwards are often required to do a lot of hard work such as making openings for the backs and gaining metres in field position. Backs are usually smaller and faster, though a big player who can run can be of advantage in the backs. Their roles require speed and ball-playing skills, rather than just strength, to take advantage of the field position gained by the forwards.
There are two wide receivers on the field during a football game.
Like in the pros, it depends upon the offensive set. There might be none, or there might be as many as five. In the pure wishbone, there are none: three running backs and two tight ends. In a pro set, there are two (plus two backs and a TE). In a three-WR set, the third guy is sometimes called a flanker or slot man.
Defence, the Cornerback is a position that covers opposing wide recievers. Because they often work on the corners or edges of the field (where the fastest receivers are placed) they are known as "corner"backs
No, the bleacher seats do not have backs. Only the seats in the grandstand have backs. Bleacher seating by its very definition means no backs.
Strong Safety, the defensive back who covers the strong side of the field (i.e., the side where the tight end lines up). The player assists both in stopping the run as well as covering receivers.

The deep zone refers to an area of the field that is farthest from the line of scrimmage in American football. It is typically where defensive backs, such as safeties and cornerbacks, play to defend against long passes. Offenses often try to target the deep zone to make big plays down the field.
The position in football responsible for tackling opponents on the field is the defensive player, specifically the linebacker or defensive back.
