Ruiz is trending up ya'll! It looks like he has finally taken to his position change and coaching. Hasn't he had a couple of different line coaches already? It took him a little while to turn the corner but that can happen when you learn a new position during a Covid lock down.

He moves well in space and in a phone booth. Yep. He is solid if not spectacular.

And for a lineman I take that every day. Especially at G you are not supposed to be spectacular. You have a job to do and everybody expects you to be perfect every play. The only time your name gets called is when you mess up. Its an unforgiving position to play and it takes a certain mentality.

Playing guard or center is quite different from each other and really different from being a tackle. You get to have you guy much closer to you which can be either a blessing or a curse depending on how good that player is.

Ruiz graded out terribly last week, but then again so did the entire O line. I'll be watching him closely this week. Last week my focus was on Penning. Check that....I'll be watching both of them for signs of improvement.

Graded out terribly by whom? I missed that. PFF or one of the networks?

Ruiz actually has the lowest rating on PFF of any of our oline. He hasn't been the one to give up the sacks, playing on the inside, but he hasn't played well and now he is hurt.

At this point I am sort of scared that Zach Baun or Trequan Smith or James Hurst or someone like that will string together a few good games and we will give them 4 years and $50 million. I feel like these needlessly early extensions were just a setup ploy for Allen and Loomis to give themselves big extensions, and the air came out just before they pulled it off.

Can you just start a dedicated thread for this so we can all just avoid it?

Thanks in advance.

:D

If you give me $40-50 Million I will do a lot less than I did before. Loomis would agree to this.

I think Ruiz's poor play and injury immediately after signing a big extension are relevant to subsequent discussion of that extension even if reality upsets you.

Then you obviously have no sense of responsibility. Why does that not surprise me?

:rolleyes:

Tired of your drivel. Turning you off. See you later.
