Vanterpool’s Wrong-Side Start Exposes Paper-Thin Tackle Depth

Jarell Broxton’s injury forces 336-pound Micah Vanterpool to shift to right tackle, a position he has never started in the CFL—his six 2023 starts all came at left guard or left tackle. This alignment mismatch, combined with zero career game reps on the right edge, creates a soft entry point for speed rushers, a vulnerability the Lions likely exploit given Winnipeg’s back-to-back games with 4+ sacks allowed.
