The Colts signed Nick Foles to be their backup quarterback, but Sam Ehlinger outplayed him badly in preseason opener at Buffalo. Too soon to wonder?
You’re probably too intelligent to wonder about the Indianapolis Colts’ backup quarterback after just one preseason game, but not everyone is as smart as you are. I mean, you knew that. But know this:
Granted, you also saw Ehlinger spark a supporting cast of future bankers and welders and gym teachers, getting more done than Foles with a lot less. Ehlinger led two TD drives. Foles led one, but his lost fumble resulted in seven points on the same play, leaving his plus-minus at zero. You probably did that math – brilliant, I’m calling you – but it’s way, way too early to evenBecause you’re too smart for that.
Reich’s just staring at me. It’s unsettling, and he’s still staring, and I’m starting to feel bad. But he keeps staring, and now I’m getting ticked off. I throw my hands in the air, like,“Looks like Frank’s computer is frozen,” says a member of the Colts’ communication staff.Reich is back within moments, telling me he heard my question, and forging ahead with an answer.
“Feel confident in that,” Reich is saying, a reference to Foles as the backup, with Ehlinger the No. 3 QB. “Nick has really had a long, established career as a starter and as a backup, but really love what Sam has done in the preseason, and love the game he had yesterday.
Ehlinger was playing mostly with guys whose names I can’t spell. In my defense, I’ve not heard of most of them. Jelani Woods? Now, there’s a name I know. He’s the rookie tight end from Virginia, a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He’s the guy Ehlinger found for an 11-yard TD after eluding Buffalo’s pass rush by stepping into the pocket to avoid one threat, sliding right to avoid another, then throwing an absolute pellet to Woods.
