Winnipeg's max protection is a liability, not a shield

On the drive after Ontaria Wilson's 18-yard score, the Bombers kept seven in to block against a four-man rush and Charles Wiley still flushed Collaros from the pocket in under three seconds — a protection-scheme failure, not a talent failure. Sliding help to Wiley's side left Jarell Broxton alone on the backside, and Broxton's uncalled hold on Clarence Hicks earlier in the game suggests he's compensating with grab technique that playoff crews will flag. The 41-yard off-platform completion to Tim White masked a structural problem that a four-man rush shouldn't be able to create.
