Ruiz played at Univ of Michigan, not Minnesota; and was referring to his struggles at RG; McCoy is the better Center and will likely stay there...

Yeah, I knew that. I had Minnesota on my mind. Thanks.

So you feel his playing RG last season is affecting his attitude this season playing center? I thought he looked pretty solid last year given it wasn't his natural position.

No, felt that it affected his play at RG; now, it could be on his mind, (it'd certainly be on mine) he's only got the job till McCoy returns, so that could have an affect...

Irregardless, Ruiz play at RG has been underwhelming and that's where he's likely headed when McCoy returns...

When McCoy is healthy, no brainer that he’s going back to center.

Ruiz has been manhandled three straight games. He’s losing far too many one on one match ups. That can’t continue to happen.

Leonard Williams will be problems for Ruiz on Sunday.

Ruiz has big heart and really battles, but you're right, we need more #winning from Ruiz, and Peat, at the inside point-of-attack so Kamara can eat...
