Summary
ESPN.com’s Stephen Holder is the final guest on today’s edition of Query & Company to weigh in on where things are at with the safety battle for the Indianapolis Colts, assesses if they are running out of time to get a player in at that position to get them up to speed prior to week one, does believe that Jonathan Taylor will be one of the select few that won’t play in the preseason because of his workload during the season, and evaluates how comfortable Anthony Richardson looks this year compared to last year.

| 0:33.3 | And Stephen, let's get right to this point. Yesterday we talked to Shane Stike, and I thought he was pretty transparent about the fact that it appears as though the safety spot is one that is still wide open. |
| 0:44.7 | And then I got to thinking about it, and I thought we like to harp on the fact that Chris Ballard has not addressed certain areas. |
| 0:51.9 | But the precedent for the Colts would be this is a position perhaps |
