Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is back in the starting lineup and plans to stay there.
before a third-and-goal play because he was "tired." Flacco gave the Colts the best chance to win now, Steichen said, and would allow Richardson to reset."I've said the process, the process, for a long time and what I mean by that – it's the attention to detail in everything he does," Steichen said. "From the classrooms to the walkthroughs to practice to the weight room, all those little things – it’s just got to be at a higher standard.
But Richardson took the benching as a teaching moment, going back to the drawing board and working to prove he understood what it meant to be a pro and a franchise quarterback. That attention to detail is what Richardson was lacking. Learning how to be a pro during the week and what all that entails as a franchise quarterback is what the 22-year-old Richardson is actively trying to accomplish.
Since the benching, Richardson has been more meticulous with his film study and in the meeting rooms, staying an active participant despite not seeing the field. Now that he is back on the field as the starter, that same attention to detail not only needs to be there but taken to even another level. The benching forced Richardson to look in the mirror and examine the areas he lacked in preparation and attention to detail. If he was ever going to reach the field again, those changes needed to be made.
“As a competitor, you never want to just be on the sideline," Richardson explained. "You always feel like there's an opportunity for you to go out there and help the team. But just sitting on the sideline, it just allowed me to just look and see the certain things I could correct about myself – certain things that the team needed help with and I'm just forever grateful for the opportunity. I'm glad that Shane felt like I'm the guy once again.
