After practice Tuesday, Chris Jones was asked to evaluate his own performance over the last couple of games.

"Not very f--king good," said the Riders' Head Coach without hesitation.

At least we don't have to say it.

The positive direction the Saskatchewan Roughriders were headed from September into October has all been forgotten with their last two performances.

It's not the fact they lost back-to-back home games — against the Alouettes and Lions — but the way they lost them.

One touchdown and eleven quarterback sacks, against.

Jones has been given the benefit of the doubt to this point based on his resume. The man owns four Grey Cup rings.

But one has to wonder if he simply took on too much this season, his first year as boss of all things.

Besides his coaching duties, which also includes coordinating the defence, he's responsible for the management side as well.

Maybe he just needs some sleep.

He didn't even bother getting a house or an apartment in Regina. He's apparently been living in a hotel room all this time because he spends eighteen hours a day in his office at the stadium.

The roster is such a mess, it has reached a point where many of the names are unrecognizable.

To steal a line from the movie 'Major League', who are these guys?

We've lost count how many different players they've used this season. They shattered the league record some time ago.

Jones says it's all about evaluation and auditioning for jobs, but he still says the priority is to win.

"We fully expect to go out and play 'A' level football, it's not a circus, it's not pre-season, this is a time to go out and show why they pay us a paycheque."

What are their chances of winning in Vancouver this Saturday?

Not very f...ing good.

Jones said everyone in the organization is under evaluation, even Darian Durant who may or may not play Saturday in Vancouver.

Durant is feeling the effects from last Saturday when he was sacked a half-dozen times. He sat out Tuesday's practice.

If we have seen the last of Durant in a Riders' jersey, it just happened to be with him holding the Grey Cup during the closing ceremony for the stadium.

"It was just awesome, I've never imagined being accepted that way and to hear that standing ovation when my name was called... man... I...as you can see I'm lost for words, it was just a tremendous feeling, something I will never be able to explain." an emotional Durant said on Tuesday.

Speculation and doubt grows every day that goes by without an announcement of a contract extension.

Durant's contract expires this winter and his patience is wearing thin talking about it with reporters every week.

"The truth of the matter is, it's between my agent and the front office and I think the best thing for me to do is focus on football, finishing the season strong, and things like that will take care of itself.

Sitting here talking about it every week is not going to make it happen."

Kinne Time

In regards to the quarterback rotation for the final game in Vancouver, Jones said they would handle it the exact same way, as they did last Saturday which left 33,400 fans stupefied.

One quarterback for one series, another quarterback for the next.

If Durant is healthy he will share time with G.J. Kinne who has been with the team all season, he just hasn't seen any time yet.

"I've spent three years on the practice squad, I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, hopefully it will come, I'm not counting on anything yet, if they put me in then I will be ready." said Kinne.

Kinne has spent the last few seasons bouncing around the NFL and also bouncing around positions.

While with the Eagles and Giants, he was practicing as a quarterback, receiver and safety.

"When an NFL team wants to pay you to play something you do it."

The Riders once had another quarterback who played safety in the NFL.

His name was Kerry Joseph and he won a Grey Cup.
