WINNIPEG -- Winnipeg Blue Bomber coach Tim Burke says hell keep harping on the need to hold onto the ball, but at some point people will move if the turnovers dont stop. "All we can do is keep emphasizing it," he said Friday after a 19-11 win over the Alouettes in Montreal. "(But) sooner or later, well have to put different people in different positions. We certainly cant turn the ball over late in the game like that, or almost turn it over late in the game. That was probably the scariest one of all." Burke was referring to Jovon Johnsons fumble of a kickoff in the fourth that was pounced on by teammate Bryant Turner before it fell into the wrong hands. The Bombers (1-1) turned the ball over five times on Thursday, three times in the first quarter alone. Turnovers were also a major factor in Winnipegs 38-33 home opener loss to Montreal the week before. In addition to reducing turnovers, Burke says the Bombers have to find a way to defend against the blitz that hampered their offence. Pierce was sacked five times. "Were going to have to come up with an answer for that or well see the blitzing every week," he said. Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo had it even worse. He was sacked seven times as Winnipegs defence stymied the Alouettes new, no-huddle offence. Turner, who has developed into one of the most reliable players on the Bomber defence, had to stay behind at a Montreal hospital for observation after the game. Burke says initial tests turned up nothing but they will know more in a day or so. "They didnt really find anything significant," Burke said. "They just kept him there overnight to make sure hes OK." Turner, in his third season with the Bombers and tied for the CFL lead in sacks already with three in just two games, appeared to have difficulty breathing in the fourth. He was given oxygen on the field. Overall, the biggest factor in the win Thursday appeared to be Winnipegs strong defence that kept Calvillo from getting past the Bomber goal line most of the night. Burke, a former defensive co-ordinator, made it clear in training camp he wanted a lot more from the Winnipeg defence, in particular the secondary. Veteran Jonathan Hefney was released when he failed to measure up and the tough love approach seems to have worked, with the defence looking more like that of Bomber editions past. Winnipeg built a reputation for itself in the CFL as a tough defensive team. "Great effort," said Burke. "Guys were very solid up front with pressure on the quarterback and the secondary was very good at not giving up any big plays. Im really happy with those guys." Burke said overall he was happy with the effort shown on both sides of the ball. Pierce agreed they have to find a way to stop the turnovers but he took positives out of the way the offence hung in there, even capitalizing on the blitz that left receiver Cory Watson open at times. "A tipped pass, deep in your own territory, and it gets picked off, those things are going to happen," said Pierce. "You have to be able to fight through that and be mentally tough. We were pinned down and last week we couldnt get out of our own zone and (this week) we made a big play to Cory and got out of our zone and put together a 105-yard-drive right there. "Those are things were capable of. Weve got to continue to work at it and put it all together."

CINCINNATI -- How badly does Bengals cornerback Adam Jones want his teammate Vontaze Burfict back on the field?The question was barely even out of a reporters mouth before Jones threw back his head and started yelling.Hell yeah! Jones bellowed Sunday, his voice echoing across the locker room. Cant wait till 55 gets here, and I dont give a damn who dont like it either.Jones pulled out his phone as he was speaking.Im calling him right now when I walk out of here, he said, following the Bengals 29-17 home loss to the Denver Broncos.Jones is eager to get his friend and teammate back, and he wanted everyone to know it. Burfict has been the missing presence in the locker room for the first three weeks of the season as he serves his three-game suspension for violations of player safety.He hasnt been allowed around the facility since the conclusion of the preseason. And while the defense gave his backup, Vincent Rey, deserved praise (he was the highest-graded defensive player in a loss to the Steelers last week), players are excited to see their team start coming back together, piece by piece.Vinny Rey did a great job. We couldve won any game with Vinny Rey, said cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick. That guy played out of his mind. But getting [Burfict] back, thats another part of it.Thhe turnaround will be short for Burfict, as the Bengals are playing a Thursday night game this week against the Dolphins.ddddddddddddaving him back bolsters our linebacking unit, Rey said. It bolsters our defense in general, and our team. Were looking forward to having him back. Hes just another player here to make plays for us. Hes a big-time player and leader.The Bengals practice this week will be light, mostly walk-throughs, as they try to give players some rest on the short week. The short turnaround might not bode well for tight end Tyler Eifert, who is on his way back from an offseason ankle injury but wasnt quite ready to play Sunday against the Broncos after returning to practice for the first time last week.Eifert led the team in receiving touchdowns last season, so his return could spark an offense that has been inconsistent this season. The Bengals have only two receiving touchdowns (A.J. Green in Week 1 and Giovani Bernard in Week 2).Tyler is obviously so talented, said Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. Hes been a big part of our offense since hes been here, especially last year. It would be great to have him back, whenever it is. ' ' '
