In Canadian football, the offensive and defensive positions are the same as in the game of football as played in the US.

The offensive positions are: centre (1), guard (2), tackle (2), end (2), quarterback (1) and other backs (4). Canadian football is played with twelve men, rather than eleven; the twelfth man is a back.

For on offense there are five linemen (Left Tackle, Left guard, Center, Right Guard, and Right Tackle) and there are 6 people that can touch the ball (one of which is quarterback) . the other 5 people can be any combination of Wide Recievers, Runningbacks, and tight ends

on defense there are no requirements for what players you have on the field but usually there 4 linemen (Left and right Defensive Ends and left and Right Defensive Tackles) 3 Linebackers (left and right outside linebackers and a middle linebacker) and 4 Defensive Backs (left and right cornerbacks, a strong safety, and a free safety)

Quarterback, Halfback or Running back, Fullback, 2 or 3 Wide Receivers, 1 or 2 Tight Ends, Center, 2 Guards, and 2 Tackles. (depending on formation sometimes the fullback or halfback will become a receiver, but that is a typical formation)

The quarterback (QB) throws the football, the runningback (also called halfback and full back depending on their field position) (RB, HB, FB) runs with it, the receiver catches it and the offensive lineman blocks to protect the quarterback. There is also the punter in the special teams.
