2 class="wp-block-heading">Offensive Line

First Team OL – Ottawa RedBlacks

Provided good run blocking that helped Devonte Williams have good launch points to set up for his 7 yards per carry on 12 rushes. The pass protection could have been better with A.C. Leonard and Jake Ceresna both having 3 good QB pressures and Kony Ealy had 2 as well. Considering the quality of Edmonton’s pass rush I thought that the protection was good with some good run blocking. Ottawa had 26 pass attempts and allowed 1 sack.

LT Dino Boyd, LG Drew Desjarlais, C Cyrille Hogan-Saindon, RG Jacob Ruby, RT Dontae Bull

2nd String Center: Hunter Steward

4 class="wp-block-heading">Second Team OL – Winnipeg Blue Bombers
