The Ottawa Red Blacks face critical roster decisions as the young offensive tackle likely heads to the practice squad due to blitz protection failures. Tom and Sarah analyze how systemic linebacker hesitation undermines the defense and impacts the team's playoff prospects.

Key topics include the potential demotion of the tackle, the impact on pass protection, and the defensive struggles caused by linebacker indecision. The hosts discuss whether the coaching staff can fix these fundamental errors mid-season or if a first-round playoff exit is inevitable.

Listeners will learn about the depth-chart implications, potential scheme adjustments, and the broader context of Ottawa's standing in the East Division. This mailbag episode addresses fan questions regarding roster moves, free agency possibilities, and the future of key players on the current squad.

In this episode: Tackle Demotion & Defensive Hesitation · Roster Battles & Scheme Adjustments · Hypotheticals & Lightning Round.
