I know McCoy can be a pro bowl center and has done absolutely nothing wrong but the saints put themselves in this weird position.

I just think ruiz would be much better at center than at guard but you already have a beast at center.

Yes. I thought we should have bit the bullet and went through some of the growning pains last year while we had qb changes going on anyways. I see Ruiz as an achor type and McCoy more Jahri Evans like.

I think it makes sense and I personally believe that’s been the plan

If you have a player that could be an all pro C, why would you move him to G where it’s an unknown? Ruiz gradually improved throughout the year and barely had an offseason, he’ll fine at G.

New Orleans drafted Ruiz hoping that he’d play center, but an injury during training camp derailed things and locked him in at guard and Erik McCoy at center.

This is from an Underhill article a week or so ago. Not sure what injury he is referring to but if Underhill knows his shite which I think he does, we are planning to play him at center.

Perhaps the injury is one that Ruiz had during camp and the team felt they didn't have the time to get him up to speed on the Center role? Just speculating because I don't remember what injury he's talking about.
