NFL Off Player of week should be (1 Viewer)

Entire Saints’ OL. Not only did they allow Saints to score 38, but they were MVPs on the defensive side too. Played a major part of shutting down Pack offense by playing keep away.

I agree, Jameis had a lot of time in the pocket to make his read and the run game was dominate

 

[Jesse Custer]

Ruiz showed why he was a first-rounder. Hadn't played Center since college and stepped right in, calling protections and everything. I was really impressed and hopefully people see why they wanted guys who could play multiple positions on the OL.

They were pretty bleh in run blocking.. But that's against a good team.


Defense was elite.

Yeah - getting ONLY 140 yds rushing in the First Half alone is pathetic!

Those stats really disguised it, but the oline hasn't remotely seen its best game this season.

Run blocking was spotty all game. Things to get better at is the message not that they was awful.

Only thing about Ruiz is his size. He is a bit undersized.

Ya, he's just 6-3 307lbs (6-4, 316) on the Saint's website.
