Rocky can't answer the bell

Riders quarterback Rocky Butler is officially out of commission for tomorrow night's rematch with the Montreal Alouettes. Kerry Joseph is listed as #1 on the depth chart this week, followed by Marcus Crandell and Darian Durant. Butler - a surprise starter against the Als Thanksgiving Day - is recovering from a mild concussion suffered in that game. Joseph is still dealing with a knee injury that may require offseason surgery.

With any luck, Joseph will make it out of Mosaic Stadium alive tomorrow. Healthy quarterbacks are becoming a rarity in Riderville. Plus, the Riders really need a win to restore young Jacob's faith in the Green Gang. Seven is far too young to be jaded.
