Podcast Insight: Colts QB Coach Cam Turner Analyzes Anthony Richardson’s Advancement
During a recent episode of the Official Colts Podcast, Colts quarterbacks coach Cam Turner shared his astonishment at Anthony Richardson’s performance during spring workouts.
Turner expressed his surprise at Richardson’s immediate comfort and confidence throwing the football, noting that Richardson displayed no hesitation and had to be reminded to limit his throws. This assertiveness on the field signaled to Turner that Richardson had full trust in his shoulder strength and overall development since his rookie season, which was cut short due to a shoulder injury.
While Richardson’s on-field progress was encouraging, Turner emphasized the significant strides Richardson has made in absorbing information during team meetings. He highlighted Richardson’s evolution in asking more advanced questions, indicating a deeper understanding of the team’s offensive scheme and defensive identification.
As Richardson dives deeper into understanding Shane Steichen’s offensive system, Turner explained that Richardson’s current inquiries focus on processing information and making quicker decisions during games. Turner described this stage as progressing from basic play rules to more advanced decision-making scenarios, where Richardson learns to anticipate outcomes based on different defensive looks.
Turner also provided insights into Richardson’s natural feel for the quarterback position and how Steichen has tailored aspects of the offense to complement Richardson’s unique skill set.
