He has also dealt with a ton of injuries, and I am pretty sure he played in a much different scheme in NY. Just give him one start, one chance before everyone claims the sky is falling and the season is over, maybe?
I don't think the season is over and we have guys that could step up. But it's going to be hard replacing 2 interior OL this week assuming Ruiz can't go. I suspect Lemieux is going to be the backup Center so whether he can step up or not probably doesn't matter.
It may be Fuaga, Young, Patrick, Udoh, Penning on the line this week. Hopefully they can all step up and Kubiak can scheme to make them look good. I didn't think there was any chance the OL would look good this year, Kubiak managed that in the first two weeks. Hopefully he can do it again.
