There are a lot of great quarterbacks in the NFL, but Andrew Luck is undoubtedly one of the best when healthy. Unfortunately for the Indianapolis Colts, he’s not 100 percent right now and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game.

The Los Angeles Rams won’t complain about the three-time Pro Bowler missing their Week 1 matchup, but Trumaine Johnson was actually hoping Luck would be on the field for the season opener.

“Oh of course, always,” Johnson said, via the team’s official site. “He’s one of the good ones in this league. The last year I played him, I got an interception off of him, so I was looking forward to that.”

Johnson did indeed pick off Luck when he was in his second season, helping the Rams upset the Colts, 38-8. It was one of three interceptions Luck threw that day, and four total for the Colts. Tavon Austin played a huge part in that win, catching two passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to a 98-yard punt return for a score.

Going back to Johnson, he won’t prepare any differently with Scott Tolzien under center instead of Luck.

“You still have to prepare, it’s still the first week,” Johnson added. “We’re going out there like nothing has changed. Ready to compete. . . . He’s a good quarterback, but Tolzien is a good quarterback too.”

Ultimately, this is a huge advantage for the Rams, who won’t have to face Indianapolis’ starting center (Ryan Kelly) or cornerback (Vontae Davis), either. Even if the Rams won’t admit it, this is a golden opportunity to start 1-0.
