Richardson said he feels “slightly more consistent” with his footwork, and feels like he has more control over the ball when it leaves his hand. Later in that same 11-on-11 period, Richardson bought time by backpedaling before lofting a touchdown toss to tight end Mo Alie-Cox.
As practice went on, Richardson completed a handful of impressive throws as well. He layered an intermediate sideline pass between defenders to tight end Tyler Warren in seven-on-seven; he accessed a creative arm angle to rip an over-the-middle strike to Pittman in 11-on-11; and with defensive tackle Tim Smith in his face, he made an off-platform throw to wide receiver Anthony Gould, who made a tough catch downfield in 11-on-11.
Richardson also completed several shorter throws with rhythm and accuracy. But he wasn’t the only Colts quarterback to have a good practice Tuesday; Daniel Jones, for the second consecutive day, completed plenty of his passes as well.
“I do feel them putting together back to back really nice days,” Cooter said. “We’re striving for that consistency on offense as a whole.”
Jones, at one point in seven-on-seven, completed three straight passes to wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, one of which came on a deep ball. He later connected down the field with wide receiver Josh Downs, who made an impressive diving catch reminiscent of the one he made in Germany as a rookie.
