From the article

two of Anthony Richardson's most controversial preseason plays came on the exact same concept. Given how we've seen the Colts re-design the play in 2026, it appears like the staff felt like in 2024 they should have slid away from the first read. Either way, I don't think this is a call that Shane Steichen will go-to if Anthony Richardson sees in action in 2026.

Richardson's repeated struggles on Choice + Snag concept may limit play-calling in 2026.

Richardson's two most controversial preseason plays in 2024 and 2026 both came on the same Choice + Snag Basic concept; the source notes the Colts redesigned the play in 2026, suggesting the staff felt they should have slid away from the first read in 2024, and questions whether Richardson had sufficient autonomy to dictate protection slides in year 2. The source concludes this is unlikely to be a call Shane Steichen will use if Richardson sees action in 2026.
