While American (11-player) formations generally use two safeties, Canadian (12-player) formations generally have one safety and two defensive halfbacks, a position not used in the American game.

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 Canadian football.
