Colts' QB's Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones are building momentum after training camp practice No. 6.
Building momentum, both Indianapolis Colts' quarterbacks, Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, put together strong training camp performances once again on Tuesday.
According to the Indy Star's Nate Atkins, it was another "really solid day" for Richardson. Overall, Richardson was 8-for-13 in the 11-on-11 periods.
Atkins added that Richardson showcased "nice placement" on shorter throws outside the numbers. Richardson also "lofted a smark under-pressure deep ball" to Anthony Gould, who he threw open.
The improved accuracy that Richardson seems to be showcasing in recent days was a priority for him this offseason, as he emphasized the short and intermediate routes in the passing game.
"I just feel like I'm working," Richardson said via Locked on Colts. "Trying to be better than what I was yesterday and the day before. I'm just trying to do my job and bring my best foot forward for the team and do that every single play."
Jones, meanwhile, "stacked another high quality day," wrote Jake Arthur of Horseshoe Huddle. Arthur added that Jones was 7-for-10 passing during the team's 11-on-11 periods.
After relatively slow starts for both quarterbacks at the start of training camp, each seems to be finding their own rhythm in the last few practices.
As Shane Steichen has mentioned, consistency will determine who is starting Week 1.
"It's quite a few things," passing game coordinator Alex Tanney said. "It's command of the offense and the huddle. It's command of the line of scrimmage--if you have multiple plays called, getting us in and out of the right play. Moving guys pre-snap, snapping things at the right time, and then making good decisions with the football, and being the leader of the offense. It's all-encompassing. There's a lot of things that go into it."
