    Hi. I Love listening to the show but usually on podcast. Can you label hour 1 and hour 2 again. I sometimes listen out of sequence by mistake.

    Cheers!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE OTHER SIDE: REDBLACKS colour analyst Jeff Avery
Q: What role does the coaching staff's adaptation play in the early-season struggles, and is there a sense of learning curve with the new system?
There is a noticeable adjustment period with a new offense and playbook; reducing plays helped with execution, and familiarity with coaches like Bethel Thompson provides some stability as the system is refined.
THE OTHER SIDE: REDBLACKS colour analyst Jeff Avery
Q: How do you see Jake Maier fitting into Dinwiddie's system, and what are the main positives and remaining concerns?
Maier has shown he can do more of what the coach wants, with a stronger arm and the ability to make plays, but there are still breakdowns in route timing and offensive line protection that need to tighten up for consistency.
THE OTHER SIDE: REDBLACKS colour analyst Jeff Avery
Q: From your perspective, what's been the biggest reason Ottawa has stumbled out of the gate this season?
The core issue is a lack of run game and consistency, which puts pressure on the quarterback and makes it hard to sustain drives, despite some improved flashes.
Brenden Escott opens the July 8 show
Q: What is it going to take to find the Elks' standard of play again?
Coach Killam explains it starts with being assignment sound, playing behind their shoulder pads, and executing fundamentals on offense and defense to get back to their identity.
THE OTHER SIDE: Lions colour analyst Giulio Caravatta
Q: How would you evaluate Nathan Rourke's performance given the injuries around him?
Giulio responds that Nathan remains very solid, smart, and consistent; while acknowledging a few decisions he might want back, he notes Rourke's ability to adapt and still put up strong numbers despite the injury-riddled receiving corps.
