I like this move. Ruiz has steadily been getting better and I don't think he has peaked yet. Just small things like him getting to camp in excellent shape, you would expect that from a professional athlete but we know all too well that tha's not always the case.

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.
