WINNIPEG -- Blue Bomber defensive lineman Bryant Turner had a few frightening moments in Montreal last week when he paid the price for one of his hits and had to be rushed to hospital. Mitch Haniger Jersey . "It was pretty scary," he said Tuesday, after being named the CFLs defensive player of the week for his part in the 19-11 Bomber win that lifted the team to a 1-1 record. Turner sacked Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo three times and had two other tackles but after his last hit of the night, he found himself gasping for breath. "It was hard to catch my breath and I dont know, that was a pretty important thing I needed right then." He was put on oxygen and rushed to a Montreal hospital where he spent the night waiting for a heart specialist to look him over. The story has a happy ending though. "Everything checked out to be normal. Tests had to be run basically." In the end, he was diagnosed with sprained ligaments in his chest and his sternoclavicular joint. He will miss Saturdays game in Guelph against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and late cut Marquis Frazier has been called back to take his place. "I do have some big shoes to fill with BT going down," Frazier said after practice Tuesday. "Its terrible I get my shot off of injury but Im going to try to make the most of it and do the best I can do." Frazier was one of those players who almost made it after training camp, said coach Tim Burke. "Its hard to replace Bryant but Marquis will do a good job," he said. "He was one of the guys we had to send home because we didnt have enough roster spots but we liked him a lot." The Bomber defence received most of the credit for the teams first win this season. Their offence seems to be still finding its feet. "Its a lot on my shoulders but the coaches have confidence in me, they saw what I can do," Frazier said of the need to step up and maintain the high level of play the Winnipeg defence has shown. Bryant said he was excited to hear about the player-of-the-week honour, his first in his three years in the CFL. "Im hoping to be ready for Toronto, Its pretty much a day-to-day thing," he said. The Argonauts visit Winnipeg July 19. The Bombers are also without one of their top receivers. Veteran Terrence Edwards is out for an indefinite period with a shoulder injury and is listed as week to week. "Im going to guess it will be more than one week but I dont know," said Burke. Either Isaac Anderson or Doug Pierce are expected to replace Edwards. The Bombers have a pretty deep talent pool at receiver, both import and non-import, and one surprising star this year has been Jade Etienne. He had caught exactly one pass in his CFL career until this season when he was the teams leading receiver with 79 yards in their 38-33 home-opener loss. With teams focusing more on Chris Matthews, last seasons rookie of the year, Etienne has had chances to get open and Burke says their 2011 CFL draft pick and Regina native has matured. "He obviously physically got a little bit better but I think mainly he just grew up . . Hes got more confidence in himself," Burke said. "His work habits are great." Burke also said they will also add a few new wrinkles Saturday to provide more protection for quarterback Buck Pierce, who was sacked five times in last weeks win in Montreal. Mark Langston Jersey . The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Safety Tyrann Mathieus frustration with the Arizona Cardinals defense carrying the rest of the team in Sunday nights 6-6 tie with the Seattle Seahawks was evident after the game.Its a team sport, Mathieu said. When the defense is playing well, the offense has to complement us, special teams has to complement everybody, [and] vice versa.The Cardinals held the Seahawks to their fewest total yards and rushing yards in a game this season with a swarming attack of quarterback Russell Wilson. Even though Arizona had just one sack, it hit Wilson five times.Arizona forced Seattle to punt on its first nine drives.It limited Wilson to just one run, for minus-2 yards. It happened on the games third play. The Seahawks didnt break 100 yardds until 10:13 was left in the game. Dave Valle Jersey. Wilson threw for 60 yards through three quarters, and Seattle ran for 29 yards through three quarters.The Cardinals offense failed to score a touchdown despite having eight drives that ended in Seattle territory, including six inside the 30.Arizonas special teams had three costly mishaps -- a blocked field goal, a blocked punt and a missed game-winning field goal in overtime.Its upsetting, Mathieu said. Its a team sport. We all got to get held accountable. We got to better on special teams. Offensively, we got to score points and defensively we got to create turnovers. ' ' '
