Look for Michael Bishop to be calling the plays for the Riders in Sunday's rematch against the Bombers in Winnipeg. Head coach Ken Miller saying after Wednesday's practice that while a final decision hasn't been made as to who the starting quarterback is, he is leaning towards Bishop. Miller adding Weston Dressler is ready to go after taking that big hit in the opening moments of the Labour Day Classic victory and that John Chick is ready to rejoin the lineup. One player who is likely to miss the game though is punter Jamie Boreham. It means Luca Congi handles all kicking duties. Miller also confirming receiver Adarius Bowman will miss up to six weeks with a quad injury.

What are they doing? Let's
What are they doing? Let's run Durant out of town just like we did with Burris. Bishop is old Durant is young. Kerry was traded for this reason. Big mistake by the riders.
Durant will not see the
Durant will not see the light of day as long as Bishop is around. Sad to see I thought we wanted to develop a young QB not deystroy his confidence??? Here we go again with another old lifetime career backup, where's Crandell?
I'm hoping the coaches are
I'm hoping the coaches are making Bishop proove himself, as soon as Mikey shows he can't produce, in goes Durant ( I'm also hoping they are actually saving Durant , letting him totally heal for further down the road, Surely the coaching staff see a diamond just emerging with D.D.
Get real guys...
Come on you guys... you can't compare Bishop to Crandell. I never regarded Crandell as a starterQB and was relieved when Durant performed better than expected when his number was called. Durant is a strong QB, I agree, but let's ensure he's 100% before throwing him to the dogs. Bishop, whether regarded as a started or not, MUST be respected by the opposition defences. Durant too, unless maybe he is recovering from cracked ribs. I have a suggestion for you, take a sledge hammer and have someone slam the side of your rib cage with it... then, 4-5 weeks from now tell me whether you feel 100%... come on guys, we need as many healthy for the run to the playoffs as possible.
