Big Dick Nick not looking good in practice?

Why announce it? If Ryan goes down or plays so poorly he has to be replaced, just put the guy in you want, you don't need to declare it before the game that I am aware of....

Unless you plan to make Nick inactive for the game.

right

but they could still just do that. we would know that sunday and it wouldn't feel like Ryan is on notice

Guess the coaches think a faster Qb might have a better chance of escaping the pocket. As short as he is he will be harder to find

Sam Ehlinger will supplant Nick Foles as the Colts’ backup quarterback to Matt Ryan on Sunday against Jacksonville, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 reports.

The Colts will have Foles among their inactives.

Ehlinger could help with opening the playbook a little more, too, in the 3rd and short + 4th and short situations.

Similar to what the Colts did with the Rivers / Brissett combo.

We are going nowhere with this offensive line and Ryan. Play for the future, lets see what Ehlinger can bring, if anything. I am hoping he sees playing time, just so he can be evaluated a little more.

Good! Especially with this offensive line. Foles is shot anyways.
