Matt Ryan perd son poste - TVA Sports (TVA Sports)

Les Colts d'Indianapolis ont décidé de laisser le quart-arrière Matt Ryan sur leur banc pour le reste de la présente campagne.

Cela n’a pas empêché les Seahawks de l’emporter 37 à 23. Le pivot de 24 ans avait été un choix de sixième ronde en 2021 du club d’Indianapolis. Metcalf n’aura pas besoin de passer sous le bistouri, malgré une blessure à un genou. En sept parties, le vétéran de 37 ans a maintenu une fiche de 3-3-1. Carroll n’a pas voulu exclure la possibilité que l’athlète de 24 ans soit en uniforme dimanche prochain, lorsque les Giants de New York seront de passage au Lumen Field. Il a réussi 68,4 % des passes qu’il a tentées pour 2008 verges et neuf touchés.

Why are the Colts benching Matt Ryan? Turnovers, sacks, shoulder ... (Sporting News)

Matt Ryan will no longer be the starter in Indianapolis. Instead, the Colts will be handing the reins to backup quarterback Sam Ehlinger in the hopes that he ...

As a part of that restructure, the Colts will owe Ryan $12 million in guarantees for the 2023 season. As such, if the Colts don't want to keep Ryan, they will have to move on from him before that point. He was passed on the depth chart by Ehlinger earlier in the season, as the statuesque passer would likely face the same issues in the pocket as Ryan given his lack of mobility. It isn't yet clear whether the Colts will dress him or Foles as the backup once he is fully healthy. The former Texas quarterback is noted for his mobility, so he may be better equipped than Ryan to avoid pass rushers behind a leaky line while his legs could bolster the team's stagnant running game. Meanwhile, the Colts haven't been able to run the ball either. That has put a lot of pressure on Ryan as a result. For example, he threw a pick-six against the Titans in Week 7 that turned a 3-0 deficit into a 10-0 lead for Tennessee. But why are the Colts moving on from Ryan now? Matt Ryan will no longer be the starter in Indianapolis. Ryan has struggled through seven games with the Colts. While there were hopes that the 37-year-old would give the team stability at quarterback, he instead has failed to live up to expectations.

Matt Ryan Stat Tracker: Week 7 (Stampede Blue)

Thanks to the nflFastR project and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data. For those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week ...

With bad net yardage, it is tough to move the chains and Ryan logged the 22nd-ranked conversion rate (1st%). The difference this week was that those passes did not gain many yards after the catch (23rd YAC), so yardage efficiency was bad (22nd ypa). Similarly, Ryan was accurate again with a high completion rate (6th cmp, 8th cpoe). He had the 3rd lowest EPA per dropback of any QB this week.

Colts QB Ryan (shoulder) out, Ehlinger named starter (TSN)

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders due to a shoulder separation.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders due to a shoulder separation. He was selected by the Colts in the sixth round (218th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft. Reich added that Ehlinger will be the starter for the rest of the season: “Right now the move is for Sam to be the starter for the rest of the season," he said to the media on Monday. Ehlinger, 24, has not made an NFL start but made three relief appearances with the club in 2021. The team heads into its Week 8 matchup with a 3-3-1 record. He plays, he practices in a way he'll be ready."

Why the Colts benched Matt Ryan, and what's next (ESPN)

Ryan's turnovers and lack of mobility were vulnerabilities behind a struggling offensive line, and the Colts are now turning to the unproven Sam Ehlinger.

First, the Colts have been intrigued by Ehlinger since his arrival but have yet to learn about him in the context of the regular season. At some point, the offense would need to produce more for the Colts to remain viable. The Colts would be wise to take advantage of it by moving the pocket or running bootlegs that set him up to throw or run. But Ehlinger will need to mostly operate from the pocket as defenses start to account for his mobility. He also is due a $7.5 million roster bonus in March, giving the Colts something of a deadline by which to decide his future. A quarterback change isn't likely to be a magic fix, but the Colts were fresh out of cards to play. [Quenton Nelson](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3129308/quenton-nelson) and [Ryan Kelly](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/2578475/ryan-kelly) have been surprising, the Colts also took a passive approach to filling key spots at left tackle and right guard. It's taken remarkable defensive efforts for the Colts to eke out their three wins. But his promotion to the starter is a much different proposition. The Colts restructured Ryan's contract after trading for him. Will this prove to be the final scene of Ryan's career? Reich said the move would have been made regardless of the injury.

Colts bench former MVP Matt Ryan for second-year quarterback ... (The Guardian)

The Indianapolis Colts are benching Matt Ryan in favor of second-year quarterback Sam Ehlinger.

Ehlinger has appeared in three NFL games, but has never thrown a pass. Ehlinger was a sixth-round pick in 2021, but has taken a rapid ascent to his first NFL start. He is contracted through to the end of 2023 and is due to make

Chargers WR Mike Williams has a high ankle sprain that’s expected to sideline him for a number of weeks … There they are, barely off the field and barely underneath the stands, right on the main tunnel pathway, as others Bucs players and team personnel whisk by them toward their locker room. This week, the viral post-game video is no less disturbing, but not because of any physical altercation. Andrew Luck played one season under Reich (2018) before surprisingly retiring. The 24-year-old Ehlinger was a dual-threat QB at the University of Texas. “I told this to Matt — ‘We did not hold up our end of the bargain here,’” Reich said. Ryan needs a clean pocket most of the time. Look, the Colts offence most of the time this season has been a wreck.

Ryan perd son poste au profit d'un quart sans expérience (RDS)

Les Colts d'Indianapolis ont pris une décision importante en offrant le poste de quart-arrière partant à Sam Ehlinger.

2022. Les Colts auraient pu se tourner vers le vétéran Nick Foles, mais ils ont préféré Ehlinger, qui est apparu dans seulement trois matchs dans sa carrière sans jamais décocher de passe. Ryan s’est blessé à l’épaule dimanche après avoir amorcé les sept derniers matchs des Colts, mais la décision prise par l’équipe ne serait pas justifiée par sa blessure, selon Reich.

Ryan mène la Ligue nationale pour le nombre d’interceptions, avec neuf, et il a commis 11 échappés cette saison. Ryan a été victime de 24 sacs du quart, a été frappé 59 fois et se classe deuxième pour le nombre de passes tentées avec 297, en grande partie parce que les Colts (3-3-1) ont été incapables de mettre leur attaque terrestre en marche. L’entraîneur-chef Frank Reich en a fait l’annonce lundi, au lendemain d’un match où Ryan a été victime de deux autres interceptions dans un revers de 19-10 face aux Titans du Tennessee.

Why was Matt Ryan benched? Inside Colts' decision to start Sam ... (The Athletic)

This wasn't what Indy's brain trust envisioned when they acquired the veteran QB, but they decided a change was needed.

He got a vote of confidence Monday from one of the stalwarts of the Colts defense. Roughly $12 million of the $29 million he’s due in 2023 is guaranteed, and there is a $7.5 million roster bonus that kicks in March 17. This is, ‘Let’s talk this through.’ He might lead the way in certain ways, but it’s really owner, GM, head coach talking through a decision of this magnitude.” “You want to make sure you make this move that it is truly the best thing for the team and you don’t want to rush into this kind of a judgment. Reich and Irsay typically speak in the locker room after each game, but meetings like the one Sunday night are extremely rare. “This is another point that needs to be made crystal clear, and I told this to Matt,” Reich said. It’s worth noting that the Colts always saw Ryan as at least a two-year answer, and Monday’s decision puts that in peril. But the upside is higher, and Ehlinger’s scrambling ability might prove to be a spark this offense desperately needs. The Colts weren’t just unproductive — a 16.1 points-per-game average, 29th in the league — they were predictable. And publicly, Reich billed Ehlinger’s promotion to the backup job 10 days ago as nothing more than a schematic move, something that would give the offense another weapon in short-yardage situations. No, they didn’t rush into this, because this call was weeks in the making. The fumbles were a problem, his interceptions were costing them games and his leash was getting shorter.

What a Grade 2 shoulder separation means for benched Colts QB ... (The Indianapolis Star)

INDIANAPOLIS — Matt Ryan has lost his job as the Colts quarterback after just seven starts, benched in favor of second-year quarterback Sam Ehlinger.

It is a painful injury and can result in a quarterback being sidelined for 2-4 weeks, though the time lost varies from injury to injury. Nick Foles will be the backup quarterback, and Reich stopped short of saying where Ryan would have fallen on the depth chart if he was fully healthy. “He did get banged up in the game, he does have a Grade 2 shoulder separation,” Reich said.
