How much $ left to sign a Guard ? Put Ruiz at Center and plug bodies for the Guards.

You think there are quality guards out there to be signed?

Considering the poor play from offensive lines around the league, anyone worth more than league minimum is already rostered

would be a mistake to assume that there is a solution on the FA market.

Agreed, but it may also be a mistake to not kick a few tires

All I know is Udoh either dont know the playbook or belongs in the Arena Football League.

Ugoh (however u spell his name) … can stay at Left guard instead of switching to center (that’s Ruiz position now).

Nah, I think Patrick is the center now. He took most of the backup snaps there in camp and has actually taken NFL snaps there. I don’t think Ruiz was a very good pick if we weren’t gonna immediately put him at Center and move McCoy to guard.

But they didn’t and now Ruiz, for all his faults, is our starting RG. Too late to move him to center as long as Patrick can handle it. And I’d rather him be next to Penning than have have Saldiveri or whoever next to him. Just have to find the best LG we can and hope Kubiak can scheme around our weaknesses. I think that’s a big ask, but we were always fricked if McCoy went down.

Ruiz is a better center than guard.

I don't think the Saints think so. Patrick was first in and he just joined the team. Says it all I think. We have had a ton of guys play LG but RG has been all Ruiz for several years. Hell do you remember the horrid game Patrick had at center in preseason? And he still was 1st backup. Who knows.

I’m so glad we made a FA splash on a mediocre third and goal running back instead of investing in our line.

Ruiz will stay at RG. Patrick will be the new C since that’s where he played last year. I’d like to see if there is hope for Ruiz at C because he’s not worth the money he’s getting g at RG.
