Everyone remembers the infamous snap Anthony Richardson took to kickoff the QB competition in Baltimore. You know, the one that set Twitter on fire that night?
It's very rare that a preseason play would cause this much debate. After all, the preseason is as vanilla as it gets. But Anthony Richardson took a lot of heat, literally and figuratively, for not seeing the free runner and taking a massive shot in an exhibition game.
Most people blamed Richardson's lack of understanding of the protection, while others quietly wondered if this was a poor play design.
Well, the Colts ran it again this year.. And this time it was an interception.
Let's breakdown the play further, and why potentially it's given the Colts some trouble.
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN RICHARDSON RAN IT IN BALTIMORE?
There's a lot of philosophies to handling pressure from a defense. You can try to block it up or you can invite the pressure and throw hot no matter what. The Colts historically have gone with the former.
