WINNIPEG -- Chad Simpson doesnt like to measure his career by statistics but the numbers certainly like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back. He racked up more than 1,000 yards in his debut season last year even though he only played in 14 of 18 games. "Pay attention to the stats, youll miss the mark all the time," he said Monday after practice at the teams training camp. Simpson played 25 career games with the NFLs Indianapolis Colts and three with the Washington Redskins before moving to the CFL. The five-foot-nine, 204-pound Miami native averaged six yards a carry with the Bombers last year and added 276 receiving yards. "Great things will come if you focus on, you know, your pads getting low, your vision, (your consistency), so I dont focus on the stats -- theyll come if I play right," he said. Simpson changed his workout and diet in the off-season and added a little weight. He also felt that he had paid perhaps too much attention to the need for speed he was told would come with a move north. "Last year I felt like I was a little bit too light," he said. If 2012 was a breakout season for Simpson, it was a disaster for Chris Garrett, who opened camp expecting to be Winnipegs starter and then tore an Achilles tendon. In 2011, hed managed 576 yards in just six games after replacing Bombers veteran Fred Reid, who suffered what turned into a career-ending injury. Garrett is now back and says he feels great entering his fourth CFL season -- all with the Bombers. "The foots feeling great you know, theres no soreness, Ive got good explosion off it," he said. "I trained really hard in the off-season to come back. Im out here running around without ... any weakness so Im pretty happy with how things are going with it." Winnipeg coach Tim Burke says there is room for both imports but it could mean only a practice roster spot for a third, although they might also find a spot on the expanded 46-man roster. He knows it could be an issue. "Not everybody wants to be on the practice roster so if that scenario comes up, that will be their decision," Burke said. The third running back on the depth chart right now is import Will Ford, who was Simpsons backup last year. The Bombers also have non-imports Carl Volny and Anthony Woodson on their roster. Both were injured last season. Woodson only dressed for two games before a season-ending shoulder injury. Volny spent half the season recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and made only one start in the finale against the Montreal Alouettes. The Bombers lost another receiver to injury Monday when Wallace Miles pulled a hamstring. He isnt expected to be out for long, said Burke. The team also added another Canadian to replace draft pick Michael DiCroce, gone for the season with a broken foot. The newcomer didnt have far to travel. Taylor Renaud played high school football at St. Pauls Collegiate in Winnipeg and led the Atlantic Conference in receiving the last two years with Acadia. He said he was back home to find a job when he got the call. "Being a kid I always dreamed about running out of that tunnel so stepping out on that field today was an amazing experience," he said. The team has also released import linebacker Daniel Sheffield. Burke said Sheffield decided to retire when he got a high-school coaching offer. Yeezy 700 Outlet .

NEW YORK -- The Petty Plan began to take shape a few weeks ago.New York Jets coach Todd Bowles was toeing the fine line between trying to win games and preparing for the future.So, about two to three weeks ago, Bowles decided that if his teams playoff hopes were over, he would turn to Bryce Petty at quarterback for the final four games and send Ryan Fitzpatrick to the sideline.We knew if we were out of contention and out of the running, Bowles said during a conference call Tuesday, in my mind and in my head, I told the coaches that we would give (Petty) the last quarter of the season to try to make progress and get better week by week.The Jets were mathematically eliminated from the postseason picture on Monday night, and in epic fashion while getting blown out 41-10 by the Indianapolis Colts .Bowles announced after the loss that he was going with Petty the rest of the season . Until late Monday night, the coach had justified starting Fitzpatrick the past few games by saying he thought the veteran gave New York the best chance to win.He was asked Tuesday if playing Petty was a shift in that philosophy.Just trying to win, Bowles said, and its trying to see what I have at quarterback with Bryce.Despite the plan, Bowles acknowledged a winning streak that would have kept the Jets in the playoff hunt would have postponed the move a bit -- maybe even until the final game of the season.Obviously, we would have stuck with Ryan, Bowles said. But now that were not in contention, we want to get (Petty) some experience, so were going to play him a little more.Fitzpatrick, in what could have been his last game action for the Jets, was 5 of 12 for 81 yards with an interception against the Colts. He was ineffective, as was the rest of the offense, so Bowles pulled him and went with Petty in the third quarter.Petty finished 11 of 25 for 135 yards with a touchdown to Robby Anderson and two interceptions. He made his first NFL start three weeks ago in place of an injured Fitzpatrick, and was mostly mediocre in a 9-6 loss to Los Angeles. Petty, a fourth-round draft pick out of Baylor last year, will now get a four-game audition to show whether he can be the Jets quarterback of the future.I think its a great opportunity for me, but I didnt want it to be this way, Petty said after the game. I would much rather have us in the same situation we were in last year -- on the brink of making the playoffs. What I do know is that oppoortunities are few and far between in this league, so youve got to capitalize on them any chance you get.ddddddddddddetty has shown a big arm at times, but he also can be erratic. Hes a second-year player still learning at this level, and the little details will take some time.Just trying to get my mind and my feet in sync, he said. I still think my mind is a little bit faster than my feet sometimes. Im getting better at seeing things. Now Ive just got to (think), now, OK, I see it, heres the throw. You know? And go back to, this is what I do. Thatll get easier every time I get out there. Ill get better.Bowles said Fitzpatrick will serve as Pettys backup for at least the next few weeks. He added that rookie Christian Hackenberg, a second-round pick whos generally still considered a project, likely will not see any game action this season, barring an injury to Petty.When Bowles announced to the media after the game that Petty would be under center the rest of the season, there was some confusion over whether the quarterbacks knew -- and when.On Monday, Bowles acknowledged that he could have done a better job of communicating things to Fitzpatrick, who appeared to not know that it would be Pettys job the last four games, regardless of the outcome Monday night.I didnt talk to him -- the coaches told him, Bowles said. I was meaning to talk to him and I got tied up with a few things. Ill make sure we talk (Wednesday) morning.Those few things were giving his team an earful after its embarrassing performance in front of a national TV audience.He tried to cover for me, Bowles said of Fitzpatrick. Like I said, I had a lot on my mind. I got some things off my chest. It kind of went over the wrong way, definitely.Game notes Bowles said its possible C Nick Mangold could be shut down for the rest of the season after aggravating an ankle injury. Mangold returned Monday night after missing four games. ... After ripping his teams effort after the game, Bowles backpedaled a bit after watching the film. Actually, I thought the effort was a lot better, he said, but I thought we made some bonehead mistakes that cost us. ...
