Far too many times he’s been overwhelmed or beaten at the point of attack.

Improve in the trenches. Period.

Have you wondered why, if the coaches were so aware of his underperforming, that they never replaced him during the season? Not even for a single snap? He was in there for 100% of all offensive snaps in all 17 games.

I'm not saying Ruiz hasn't looked like crap, but consider the circumstances. We all know the offensive line is a unit that has been described as only as strong as its weakest link. Looking back at Ruiz's first season in 2020 there was essentially no preseason work and most of the regular season was virtual except for gameday. Move to 2021 and only three of the 17 games had four of the five starters active at the same time. Five games of the 17 had three. None had all five.

The coaches have to see something in him or he wouldn't be in there, right? That's the one thing that keeps me hoping there's promise.
