Our two top draft picks arent even getting on the field. Feels like a big red flag

Ruiz has been out there and will start this week with Peat out.

Baun, I haven't seen. I know he started the season injured. I don't know his status now. I think he's just struggling to get on the field with Demario and Anzalone ahead of him.

Dumb...the original question is legit. He’s played because of injuries.

It is annoying that he wasn’t playing in the first place when our starting guard combo is atrocious.

Payton literally said, “we didn’t draft him to be a backup”.

Baun not playing I understand. We play 2 LBs 80% of the time, and that’s gonna be Davis and Anzalone. When Anzalone gets hurt or leaves in free agency, that will be Baun’s job I’m assuming....if he’s good.

Well someone correct me if im wrong, but I thought he didnt play week 1 because he himself had a nagging injury. And then week 2 didnt he start alongside Peat. Is this not what happened?


Edit: He played 10% of the snaps week 2. And 84% week 3.

As far as Baun goes, thats a fair question that i dont have the answer to.

Our defensive coordinator doesn’t like linebackers

Ya. That’s not what happened. He got in for just a bit week 2 after an injury.

Educate yourself before u make snarky comments.

Ruiz has played 57 offensive snaps.

How are people surprised by this? Extremely veteran team, stunted offseason work, no preseason. Rookies that weren't drafted to immediately start will get brought along slower than normal.

Oh suck a dick. I didnt say it as factual. Well Peat is out now and Ruiz will be playing. We’ll see how he does from there. Tough for a rookie to come in and start without preseason. Maybe Sean wanted to slowly get him going. Maybe Ruiz didnt look ready. Who knows. With that said, Ruiz has been playing and will start this sunday.

Haha. U make a sarcastic comment to call someone else out, and u just look like a moron. Blame yourself! Crawfish more.


It’s a good fricking question. Why do we roll out Peat and Easton after what we’ve seen the past few years? Why do we give Peat a huge contract? Why even draft Ruiz in the first place if he ain’t gonna play over these losers? Who is gonna leave cause we have Peat? Armstead? Marcus Williams?

Im not calling josh out. Calling him out would be telling him he is a moron like you are doing to me. He just started a thread with a guy who played 84% of the snaps last week vs a guy who we havent seen at all. I mistakingly thought Ruiz started week 2 and came out and ill admit to that mistake. Ive seen him plenty on the field, thus he is playing. Im not sure how thats hard to understand my point of view on that. You’re just being a dick

Now if Josh said, Why isnt Ruiz playing more.... my original sarcastic comment would have no place here. Drake, relax buddy. Its gonna be okay, I promise.

Basically, he got in week 2 and looked good briefly, and they still didn’t start him week 3. He got in cause of another injury and looked good again. Frustrating to see when he can’t be much worse. It ain’t Grubbs/Nicks/Evans/prime Warford, etc. It’s Peat and Easton. Peat has always sucked and is Payton’s latest desperate to say I told u so moment. And Easton is a nobody who has always been below average even in his best season...one of those random nobodys that the fan base has decided to like.

Easton isn’t bad. He has a 56 grade from PFF so far with no penalties or sacks allowed. Plus some position versatility.

That’s fine for a $1.5MM dead cap hit, imo.
