Ruiz Improvement

I hope it continues too. We have played some weak defenses lately but Ruiz is young and healthy. We really need to let Peat walk this offseason and it would be hard to have to replace both guards. On the upside I don't expect that Peat will receive much interest on the market after being cut, so we might be able to bring Peat back on a vet minimum salary to replace Throckmorton as backup.

I was hoping that Doug Marone would help our offensive line play better especially on the interior. Ruiz has stepped up after moving from Center to guard in a shortened season. It took him a little time but he looks better each game.

Unfortunately, Peat has not improved his health status or his playing status. I think he will be gone as soon as it is financially possible. We used our second round pick on McCoy and that worked out pretty well. Maybe we could draft a guard in the second round.

I’m wondering/hoping if there is the possibility of a good QB being available early round 2. It seems a fairly deep draft for QBs. One may slip.
