Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Edmonton Elks have turned their seasons around and will meet in key clash on Saturday
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have won five in a row. The Edmonton Elks have won five of their past six games. They are the two hottest teams in the West.“Yeah, somebody’s got to lose,” said Elks rookie defensive back Devodric Bynum . “It won’t be us, though.”
“Our coaches are on us every day,” said Bynum. “Heavy is the head that wears the crown. They demand greatness. We demand greatness out of ourselves. We’re all just giving a little something more to the game – a little bit of something.”“There’s a lot of communication,” he said. “Guys are being ball hawks.
Even though the Blue Bombers are racking up the wins, the offence has not caught fire. Despite being over .500, the Bombers rank last in the CFL in yards per game and points per game . Meanwhile, the Elks top the CFL with an average of nearly 30 points a game. The Elks will have Tre Ford return as the starting quarterback. The Canadian, who is 2-0 as a starter this season, backed up McLeod Bethel-Thompson in the two wins over Calgary. Ford was recovering from a rib injury, and Jackson wanted the young pivot to be close to 100 per cent before handing him back the keys.
