Matt Ryan Benched by Colts in Favor of Sam Ehlinger

[Tanko]

Sam Ehlinger will start and its not due to Matt Ryan's shoulder.
Maybe the Colts will play better. They can't play worse, right?

Matt Ryan benched by Colts, who will turn to Sam Ehlinger at QB

However Ryan is 4th in the league in passing yards almost 3rd by a yard

If that means anything

True. But if you ain't winnin', you ain't playin'.

I think Jon Gruden said that.

Matt Ryan is a problem on offense, but not THE problem on offense. The whole thing is out of sync.

Maybe this change will help them but I doubt it

I wanted this to happen last year. The O-line just isn't there for Matt Ryan to stay in the pocket and last year Wenzt just holds on to the ball too damn long no matter where he is at. Sam has legs to run for a white boy. Like him in college and liked his preseason his rookie year. Didn't follow him this year

If the Colts had just watched Matty Ice play against the Saints any recent year they would have known that he is the absolute worst ever standing up too defensive pressure. He wilts. He literally gets on the ground before being touched. He couldn't get out of the way nor could he break an arm tackle. An automatic sack and slow release when pressured. That was in the recent past. Now he doesn't move as well as a statue and his arm is shot. Bad move by the Colts. The Falcons let him go and won this one. They did right to kick the tires on Deshaun Watson. Indy now needs a QB more than the Falcons do. The Falcons look like the better team without Matty Ice Melt.

They should have called Rivers

i think Rivers is coaching football somewhere now

Maybe but the guy won 11 games last year.

You beat KC to get relevant again...it's worth a call.

Rivers can throw guys open, very few QBs in NFL can throw guys open.

It's why Buffalo / Allen will never win the big one...he can't throw guys open

Do you know the secret

Instead of benching Ryan, maybe Colts should take advice from Aaron Rodgers and “simplify the offense” for the older QBs like Ryan, Rodgers, and Brady.
