Looks like Richardson broke his finger

Who was the RB on that play. If AR is looking left, that's the primary target area. A RB running a route to the right should have at least chipped the pass rusher, it seems to me.

Nah, it was AR's fault. Giddens ran the flat and should have gotten a quick pass from AR where that free rusher vacated.

With that front showing, the Sam/Mike three yards off, he should've been looking right first knowing that RB and Warren were not staying to block.

He started left, and lo and behold, the Sam/Mike came on the blitz, leaving Ojabo unabated with a rocket up his ass.

I think the RB probably should have chipped, but AR definitely was locked on to routes to his left and had no idea it was coming, and it wasn't even a blind-side hit. So the chip likely would have made no difference if the back did it

They confirmed post-game that it was a 5-man protection. Giddens was supposed to run the flat and be the hot guy if pressure came. Neither him or Warren were assigned to chip anybody on that particular call.

AR said he thought the Nickel was where the pressure might come from, so he never looked right.

Luckily there was no break or tear. He'll be sore, but he's not out. He said he couldn't squeeze right away, but after a few plays, he was ready to go back out.

Last night, looked like a typical Colts squad that is unfortunately, too frequently not prepared. Richardson should have read it, but he's also out there with a squad of complete roster fillers. It makes little sense to me that you appear to have gone largely full strength in the scrimmage but then when it's a bit more serious and freelance, when there isn't a script, you put him out there with only a couple other starters? Totally baffles me.

Tackling was again- dogshit! The penalties continue to be huge problem for this team.

Special teams, holy shit!

Yeah, not impressed at all with this team's execution in some real basics.

Yeah, so this is on AR. He should have read the hot, which was Giddens. Also, it looked like AR created the injury when he got into a hand fight with the Raven sacker (who cares what his name is). Watch at the end of the play when AR slaps the defenders hand away.

I'm starting to believe that AR will never be successful QB in the NFL.

I think the odds AR ever amounts to anything are almost zero. He will show flashes and positively oozes potential but, as I said before, even if he somehow DOES put it all together and become a hybrid of Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, it won’t matter because he’ll never be able to stay healthy.

He’s a lost cause at this point. In fact, I’d rather they rolled with Jones.

People all over the net are overreacting to this. Yes he messed up. To me what matters is does he learn from this or does he keep messing up. I still think to bailing on AR now is too early. We invested heavily with the 4th pick and two years of play so far with him. Nobody is going to win anything with Jones. His dinking and dunking is the offensive equivalent of Eberfluss/Bradly defense as far as irritating to watch and try to get behind. I agree it doesn't look very good right now. I still think there is a nonzero chance AR hits and we need to continue to ride this.

Regarding the chip, I don't think that it would have prevented the sack, but it is possible that it would have been the difference between Richardson getting demolished like he did and Richardson just receiving an ordinary tackle/sack ...... David Ojabo was going full speed with no impediment right from the snap of the ball until he met Richardson ...... a chip would have made him start his momentum over again a couple of steps closer to Richardson than from where he originally started his route to the quarterback.

Even if he hits, he cannot stay healthy. That’s the problem.

Getting him to play well will be hard enough. Getting him to play well AND stay healthy will be next to impossible, in my opinion. I just don’t see it happening.

They won’t give up on him. I’m not saying they should. I’m just saying I will be STUNNED if he ever amounts to anything.
