Bombers Defense Turns It Around | Winnipeg News

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ defense is on fire after a shaky start, holding opponents to 21 points or fewer in their last two games and ranking second in the league in scoring defense. They’re primed to drop their average even lower this Sunday against the struggling Ottawa Redblacks, who’ve been plagued by turnovers and a weak passing game. Coach Jordan Younger credits the team’s resilience and focus, while players like Redha Kramdi say they simply stayed calm and adjusted. Despite the progress, there’s still work to do—especially on second downs and takeaways. Younger and head coach Mike O’Shea both highlighted missed opportunities, including dropped interceptions, with O’Shea sharing a personal story of a dropped pass in a high school championship. With QB Zach Collaros sidelined in practice and Dru Brown stepping in, the Bombers are laser-focused on winning—not just hoping. And while offensive coordinator Tommy Condell returns to Ottawa, he’s keeping it professional, not looking to make a statement against his former team.
