Ottawa Red Blacks face an inevitable offensive tackle demotion due to persistent blitz protection failures and systemic linebacker hesitation. This episode analyzes how division rivals are exploiting these weaknesses and confirms our prediction of a first-round playoff exit if Ottawa qualifies.

We discuss the specific technical errors in lateral movement and hand strength that are forcing the front office's hand. Key topics include the impact of moving the young tackle to the practice squad and whether veteran replacements can stabilize the pass protection in time.

Hosts Sarah and Tom break down the East Division standings context, the urgency of fixing fundamental technique errors mid-season, and the realistic outlook for Ottawa’s remaining schedule and playoff prospects.

In this episode: Division Rivals & Weaknesses · Roster Depth & Tackle Demotion · Playoff Path & Predictions.
