Ask Me Anything with TCUDan starts now

I thought this was a good question as well. To add onto the Ruiz topic, do you think the change in blocking scheme hurt Ruiz as well as the position change. Michigan is a power gap blocking scheme and the Saints have primarily been zone for a while now. Marrone is a power gap guy. Will the addition of Marrone help Ruiz develop and do you see a blocking scheme change?

I don't think so. If you're a OL in the NFL--especially one drafted in the first round--you should be able to block both gap and zone effectively. The Saints tend to go zone on base down's (1st & 2nd) and go gap in short yardage, red zone, or when certain personnel take the field (for example, with Taysom's designed runs, which are like 70% power, 29% counter, and that 1% pin'n'pull to mix it up a little).

In short, I don't see any significant changes inbound to the Saints running scheme. Ruiz development won't be about scheme. It'll be about the individual coaching he receives at the position level, and how well he commits himself to elevating his game.
