WINNIPEG -- Winnipeg Blue Bombers backup quarterback Justin Goltz is preparing to start Friday against the Calgary Stampeders in the event that starter Buck Pierce cant go. Cheap Basketball Shoes Sale . But the Blue Bombers likely wont know the answer to that until Wednesday. "Im preparing as if Im going to start, trying to build off the momentum of last week," Goltz said after practice Monday, when he took first-team reps and Pierce mostly stood around. "You never know what the situations going to be ... As long as I prepare as if Im going to start, I cant go wrong." Pierce was hit in the stomach in Fridays 35-19 loss to the Toronto Argonauts and couldnt finish the game. Goltz, who played the second half and completed 13 of 15 throws for 170 yards, was in charge for Winnipegs only touchdown of the game, a run by Chad Simpson late in the fourth quarter. Winnipeg head coach Tim Burke says he isnt sure what Pierces injury is -- it could be just a bruise from the helmet hit to the abdomen -- but, regardless, he isnt ready to go yet. "Its not life-threatening," Burke said. "Its not internal organs that are bruised or anything like that." The Blue Bombers took the short leash off Pierce against Toronto and let him move more but Burke says he wasnt hurt on one of those plays. He was still in the pocket and someone just slipped a block. "Actually, on the plays where we took him out wide, I dont think he got hit at all." Keeping Pierce healthy was identified as a key to success this season by the Blue Bombers, although with a record of 1-3 success has been scarce so far. Winnipeg has a fairly long list of wounded. Burke says he doesnt expect defensive tackle Bryant Turner back in time for Fridays game. Fellow lineman J.T. Gilmore is also still a question mark and receiver Chris Matthews is doubtful, but another injured receiver, Kito Poblah, was looking better than Burke expected in practice Monday. Before practice, Burke sat the team down and told them they needed to work on how they handle adversity during a game like last weeks loss, when the wheels fell off after an early interception. "I used the Calgary and Montreal game as an example -- 24-0 and then a 35-0 swing the other way because Calgarys a mature team, they believe theyre going to win, they know theyre going to win," Burke said. "I said thats the attitude youve got to take." The players also held their own meeting, without coaches, and told each other what they think needs to be done to turn the season around. Veteran receiver Terrence Edwards, who also looks ready to come off the injured list for Fridays game, says it wasnt negative. He watched from the sidelines and adds that as a leader among the receivers he offered them his perspective. "Everybodys got to be very detail-oriented about their craft," he said. "I think thats the biggest problem with us. Were not doing the little things properly." Edwards says hes going to work to ensure the receivers start correcting their mistakes and other veterans will be doing the same thing. Practice was delayed by all the meetings but Burke says the result on the field was good. "I thought our practice was very good," he said. "I dont know what the players said in (their meeting). I heard it was constructive." Cheap Basketball Shoes . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition.

DAVIE, Fla. -- Dion Jordan walked off the practice field Tuesday holding the helmets and shoulder pads of two veteran Miami Dolphins teammates. The third overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft got to take part in his first training camp practice on Tuesday, though he was limited to individual and position drills. "I feel real good, first of all just being out there with the guys and being able to run around and hit things and just get back to normal football routine," Jordan said. The defensive end from Oregon signed his rookie contract Saturday, but sat out the first two days of camp. He had shoulder surgery Feb. 27. "Its going to be a gradual process," Dophins coach Joe Philbin said. "Well see how he responds, see how he feels tomorrow and take it from there. Were never going to rush a guy if we dont feel hes ready. Well take our time." Philbin did not expect Jordan to be too far behind because the rookie has been around for all the installments on defence. "He sat in the classroom, hes been out there, hes watched all the practice film, heard the corrections," Philbin said.dddddddddddd. "Obviously, theres going to be a point in time when he needs to get out there and feel it for himself and do it for himself and make a couple of mistakes and then learn from them and move forward as a player." The Dolphins moved up nine spots in the first round, from 12th to third, to land Jordan in the draft. They gave Oakland a second-round pick in the transaction and made Jordan the highest-drafted defensive player in team history. Jordan says his draft position doesnt additional pressure on him, nor he did come to training camp with any expectations about his role. "No matter what it is, if its just a pass rusher, if Coach puts me out there to start, even if its special teams, I want to play football," Jordan said. "No matter where it is, youve got to earn everything. I have to earn whatever it is." Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
