Die Macht » Bombers are getting defensive back J

Renault has spent three performance tokens on a power unit upgrade at the Singapore Grand Prix, but as of Friday practice new parts had only been fitted to the Red Bull of Max Verstappen.Renault has now spent 14 of its 32 tokens for the year, leaving 18 for the rest of the season. Although Renault has not announced which components have been upgraded in Singapore, the FIA technical delegates report on Friday revealed Verstappens car had a new internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H and MGU-K ahead of Friday practice in Singapore.Verstappen had only used three of each of the above components before this weekend, so the upgraded parts are now the fourth, bringing him in line with the usage of the other Renault-powered drivers on the grid. It remains to be seen when teammate Daniel Ricciardo and the two Renault works drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer will receive the upgraded power unit, but when they do it will put them on their fifth of each component and put them one change away from a penalty.It is only the second time Renault has spent tokens on an in-season upgrade this season after it made a significant step in performance with a combustion chamber update at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Pierce has been a quarterback who moves and while it has cost him -- injuries have sidelined him for large chunks of his career -- trying to keep him in a bubble hasnt worked so well either this season. Winnipeg currently sits at 1-2, although so does every other team in the CFL East. "Were going to rectify that a little bit this week in our game plan," Burke said of the way Pierce has been held in check. "When he has done some positive things this year hes extended things with his feet and so I think youll see a little bit more wide open Buck Pierce this week." It also hasnt been much of a bubble. Pierce was sacked six times in his last outing alone, although Burke points out hes also healthier at this point in the season that he has been in some time. "Hes going to have to be smart about taking hits. Hes just going to have to get down on the ground when he needs to." Keeping Pierce healthy was one of the keys to Winnipegs plan for success this season but so far the offence hasnt managed to generate enough points to suggest it was the only fix needed. Burke has trotted out a pretty long list of problems from receivers who dont move as ordered to an offensive line that isnt learning from its mistakes. Then there are penalties Burke says are just plain dumb, such as offsides on kicks. Burke wasnt ready Tuesday to announce any of the roster moves he has already suggested might happen to try and fix some of these problems, but says he will be ready Wednesday. "You have to learn from your mistakes," agrees Pierce. "Were all professionals here and we learn and we move on." He said a successful offence is all about execution and everyone doing their jobs and admits even he hasnt done his as well as he should. "Im not doiing what I need to do to put our team in a position to be successful," he said.dddddddddddd "I missed some throws that I usually dont miss. Those things are going to happen, you just cant have them happen all the time." And he too said taking off the leash would be a good idea. "Obviously my strength is me moving around and running," he said, "so hopefully well see more of that this week." Meanwhile, after coming away battered and bruised from their 25-20 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last weekend, the Bombers are getting defensive back Johnny Sears into the lineup again. Hell replace Desia Dunn, out for at least two weeks with a hamstring injury. Sears remembers his last game at the old Ivor Wynne Stadium last year, before he got injured. Now hes eager to get back on the field in his first start since then, when the Toronto Argonauts visit Friday. And, if anything, he says his trademark aggressive approach is going to be intensified. "Oh yeah, I think now its more, because Ive been out for so long, he said after practice Tuesday. "My last game wasnt even a home game, it was an away game, and it was the end of the season." It was the end of an unpleasant 6-12 season for the Bombers, who finished out of the playoffs. They got off to a slow start in 2012 and never really recovered. Sears was also reunited this year with defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan, who he knew when both we at Eastern Michigan, Sears as a player and Creehan as one of their defensive coaches. "He wasnt my position coach . . . but weve got a great rapport with each other," said Sears. "He hasnt changed one bit, still high intensity . . . He makes sure we practice the way we want to play," he said. "Hes a player without the pads." Creehans defence has been the one anchor the Bombers have been able to rely on this season as they struggle to stay in games offensively. ' ' '
