Well deserved, especially in today's market shortage of offensive linemen.

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
The money does not seem terrible but I am skeptical giving all this money to a player who seems good but not dominant and took his sweet time to develop until the latter years of his rookie contract. Now that he is paid and he knows we dont have the cap space to bail if it doesnt work out, will he slack off? He wasn't holding out. He only had one good season and we could have waited to make sure he repeats it this year. The most we could lose is having to pay more if he gets even better. But on the other hand if he regresses or we need to rebuild, it would have been nice to have more financial flexibility. If we waited we could have decided to give the money to Granderson, Shaheed, etc instead. We would have also had some protection if Ruiz got injured which has been a frequent issue for all our other oline.

No one impressed me on the O line yesterday. In fact I was thinking.....:awe:

Great! Now go find another lineman somewhere. Anywhere. Isn't there another fifty year old vet out there willing to come out of retirement?

The Browns lost one of their tackles for the season, too. They are going down like crazy across the league.

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
Jets are looking for tackle help, too.

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
Browns add another OL. I wonder if Zach Strief can still play?

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
Cheap in today's NFL.

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
Anyone for an oft injured offensive lineman that never lived up to his hype?

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
Giants tackle looking to be missing time, as well.

And they keep coming. The Patriots just lost their starting tackle to a concussion.

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
He didn't grade out well but he played better than he did last year, or the years before that. I think he's getting stronger at the point of attack and he moves well downfield blocking to open up running lanes. We could do much worse.....and we have! Peat, specifically.

Panthers lose a starting o lineman

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
Speaking to offensive lineman depth, or lack there of, the Colts just signed a player the Saints cut and didn't even want on their practice squad.

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.

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

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. |
Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
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.

Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension
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.
https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/cesar-ruiz/59857 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. |

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. |
