Who’s Better for the Colts: Eason or Ehlinger?

When looking Eason’s throws from the first game, we see a pattern emerge: Eason played his best when dealing with spread passing concepts, the same offense he played at Washington. The Colts combine a bunch of different aspects together, including spread concepts, which emphasize cutting the field in half for your reads, making a pre-snap decision and getting the ball out to your primary read on time. As you’ll see in the video below, Eason’s first few throws (1st, 3rd and 4th) were spread concepts and he thrived on them.

When forced to sit in the pocket and read, he doesn’t get the ball out as quickly and usually holds it long enough to feel pressure.
