I actually love Ruiz at C.


What is all of this talk about moving Ruiz to center and McCoy to guard? Have the Saints talked about doing that? Is McCoy so bad at center? Where is this coming from?

It’s not coming from anywhere because it’s not going to happen. McCoy is excellent. Ruiz had a strong 2022, took a step back in 2023, but he’s still your RG until further notice.

All the noise about Ruiz to C is 2 things:

1) Ruiz was drafted as a C, and I think McCoy was drafted s as a G. Everyone thought the Saints would move McCoy to G when they drafted Ruiz, but they didn’t partly bc that offseason was shortened due to COVID (possibly also it was never really their intent).

2) The other part is that Ruiz hasn’t been great at G, so maybe C is his best position and McCoy is athletic enough to play G so it’s best for the team as a whole.

I’ve thought Ruiz played well at C when McCoy has come out of the game in the post, but I don’t expect them to actually move Ruiz to C. McCoy is a known commodity at C, so I doubt they take that chance.
