That wasn't an endorsement of the Riders by any way, shape or form.
Simply that teams make more of an effort to look good at home, even in exhibition. I expect (and hope) to see more of Smith as well, but I expect to see a lot more of the players who will likely be cut, to make sure they didn't overlook someone with potential CFL starter talent. This typically means a loss, and who really cares if they do... its exhibition, they gave their home fans an entertaining win, and this is the time to experiment.
While the Stamps didn't exactly field their A team against the Schmoes, they did have quite a few of their starters and top backups playing. Of course, Edmonton playing like crap helped too.
