Wasn't Ruiz drafted to play center and McCoy locked the job down in training camp? So, they move him to guard, which isn't ideal since he was an undersized center to begin with. Of course, the Saints do what they do best.....move players to another position they have never played before or since middle school. It happens all the time and seldom works well.

That's what some fans thought, for sure. Although, we both know fans don't have a clue what a team has in mind when they draft a player.

We have a good clue now. Whatever they have in mind is sucking.

Neither do the Saints apparently.

Draft Zach Baun, who broke sack records in college and convert him to a below average linebacker.

Then struggle to get pressure so they let him rush the passer and he immediately gets a sack against one of the leagues best O lineman.

Complete ineptitude from Saints management as usual.

Or is it coaching? The GM doesn't specify what defense is played or what positions the players play once drafted.
