“Decent day,” Richardson said. “Got a couple touchdowns in, a couple first downs, but turned the ball over, a few false starts, penalties that we can knock out. Then snap stuff, gotta get the snaps. So decent day from the good things we did, but nowhere near where we want to be.”
The Colts’ defense had a relatively similar day, but a few more flashes and big plays; safety Hunter Wohler nearly intercepted a pass in the end zone and safety Ladarius Tennison nearly had a pick along the sidelines, both in 11-on-11 periods. But it was cornerback Samuel Womack III who stood out the most, flying around the field to record multiple pass breakups and apply heavy pressure on the man he was tasked with covering.
Cornerbacks JuJu Brents and Jaylon Jones still don’t have a timeline for their returns, per Steichen, and with Kenny Moore II currently sidelined with a knee injury Womack has been one of the guys in the room that’s stepped up and shown what he can do.
But as the Colts prepare for their second preseason game against the Packers this Saturday, they all know what happened on Thursday – good or bad – won’t impact the game. What will impact the game is how they use what happened Thursday to get better.
“I’m confident,” Jones said. “We’ve put in a lot of work, we’re a sharp group.”
