The Ottawa Red Blacks face a shifting landscape as division rivals adopt new offensive schemes and tighten defensive leverage. This analysis examines how these external threats impact Ottawa's upcoming season.

We discuss the strategic implications of the outside linebacker vacancy, the continued dominance of the veteran center in pass protection, and how converted safeties might fill gaps.
