Simpkins vs Ruiz

He can flip his hips real well.

That's not an easy thing to do every time.

A lot of times. That's how guys get overpowered.

I mean like baldy was saying I'm sure there was some plays that he missed on but that sure as hell is encouraging in those clips.

difference is a 6 yr veteran making 11 million a yr vs an undrafted rookie doing similar and maybe better things on the field.

PFF pass blocking grade was 0.0

Not surprised. He got spun a few times and knocked backwards almost on his arse another.



Still better than Ruiz though!

Our depth is a huge issue so even if he can’t unseat Ruiz, having a serviceable backup is nice

I'm not sure how that's even possible?

Ruiz gets a credit boost for blocking his own o lineman

I think the 0.0 is an error

Though bolstering the performance on the line will be a point of emphasis as Rattler was under pressure for 38.7% of his dropbacks, per Pro Football Focus. Next Gen Stats charts the quarterback under pressure for 54.5% of his dropbacks because the analytics sites qualify pressures differently. In either case, it’s more than what you’d want for a young quarterback, even though he managed it well.

I like Simpkins in a backup role. To get that out of a udfa is a win.

The real question is Davon godchaux. He looks absolutely done and the saints gave him an extra 2 years on his deal.

My left nut should start over Ruiz

I guess they were onto something in drafting for Broughton

It is obvious he is not a better guard, as his pass blocking is terrible. But he fits more of the mold of a roadgrader with his violent blocking. Ruiz is more of an athletic guy, as seen last year with him running down Kamara on the screen in Dallas.
