Smith went home to Oregon during time off
The bye week came at a right time for Riders rookie quarterback Brett Smith.
The time-off allowed to Smith to take a look at his game after his first two starts in the CFL.
"It's huge. I think it's big in that sense but also just to kind of reflect and see what's going on throughout the season," he said.
"Little bit of self-evaluation, that's definitely something I took away from it."
During his week away from the team, Smith actually went home to Salem, Oregon where was able to spend some time with his family, his girlfriend and his friends.
