Sad News: Blue Bombers coach announce not to perform again due to……

Despite getting back on track with back-to-back victories, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers still aren’t standing pat.

It appears the club is making changes at returner and on the defensive line. They are getting set to renew the prairie rivalry in the first of their three meetings against the 4-1 Saskatchewan Roughriders, who are coming off their first loss of the season last week.

The Bombers moved both returners Chris Smith and Myron Mitchell to the practice roster. Mitchell handled the returner duties the first two games before Smith took over.

Now they’ll be using a third different returner with Kody Case handling all the returns in Tuesday’s practice after being transferred to the active roster.

Case had one return in the pre-season but spent the first six weeks on the practice roster. The Bombers are looking to jumpstart their return game, currently ranked dead last in the league in punt returns and second last in kickoff returns.

“It starts with us like, having to open up lanes for these guys,” said special teams coordinator Mike Miller. “But we’d like to see guys catch it and hit it and find those lanes and kinda go in there fearlessly.

“Obviously, the field position is always key, but yeah, on special teams our job is to keep momentum on our side and to gain it, is even more of a plus.”
