To say this guy is about as healthy as you can get, makes me think of how little contact he is making with opponents on a weekly basis. He's not plowing anyone, no lower body strength. Just a bunch of "whiffs".
Drafting Ruiz in the first was an absolute reach.
Was it Tripplet who said after the game we had "a couple guys blocking air"? I believe Ruiz was one and one of these 'off the street' linemen was the other.
Look, things do happen, but you can't block air at this level. If you're 'blocking air' you don't belong up here.
