Riders head coach Ken Miller surprised many if not all in attendance Thursday when he said in his daily post-practice scrum that Steven Jyles is going to get some time at quarterback Saturday in Calgary. Miller says the plan is to start the game with Darian Durant and after three or four series, have Durant come to the bench to watch for a little bit with Jyles taking over. Miller adds this plan will be thrown out the window if Durant should be "lights out". When asked why this is being done, the coach says it will give Darian an opportunity to step out of the pressure cooker and observe from the sidelines for a series or two.
As for Andy Fantuz, his hamstring continues to be a problem. Miller says his status is somewhere between probable to doubtful.

so basically this is an exhibition game or training camp game. This coach needs to be fired. The training camp and exhibition games are for evaluating right now. The only way that I can see this being done is for trade bait for either Jyles or Durant.
