3 years in, if he's not improving he needs to have a seat. Tired of the excuses for his poor play.

He will eventually get our QB hurt or seriously injured.

Todd Bowles is bringing the heat on 3rd downs.
And if no one behind Ruiz is any better? What do you do then? Serious question, K.

I think Ruiz has hit his very disappointing ceiling.

As a first round pick, if you play that badly and even Jahri Evans cant raise your level, then I just don't think he's suited for a starting role.

Ruiz ended Brees's career, I hope he doesn't get Winston injured.

Same question, Diz. If no one behind Ruiz is any better then what do you do?

Honestly at this stage I don't think you can do anything, unless DA and the Front Office can mastermind a trade for a competent Guard.

I'd hate to see Winston suffer bad guard play like Brees did. It's hurt us for years in the playoffs and just seems to get ignored.

Yup. You gotta go with what you have and hope it gets better. You can utilize the FB more. You can move the pocket. Stay in the hurry up which looked good. There are options.

I see Ruiz isn't rebounding from his supposed "covid years" setback.

If this is true and our guards are the best we can have this year, then plays have to be designed to take that into account. No more plays like the Ingram 2 point conversion. More help from the RB and TEs in pass protection. More plays that can get outside the tackle box. More plays that are quicker throws but with some loft that will allow the WRs to work downfield like Landry's catch. If they are bringing blitzes then some WR or TE has to be on single coverage. Winston did a great job not forcing his throws and picking his spots.

Yup. Looks like those wishes have come true.

I had questions myself about this original post when I first saw it.
