The New Orleans Saints lost Erik McCoy to an injury in Week 1 and it’s affected the offensive line dearly. We saw the line crumble to pieces in the Week 2 loss at Carolina and while they were a little better last week, Jameis Winston was still sacked three times.
Cesar Ruiz, the Saints’ first-round pick from a year ago, has been slotted in at center while McCoy has been out and it hasn’t been going well, to say the least. NOLA signed Austin Reiter after McCoy’s injury and now might be the time to put him in at center and kick Ruiz back to right guard, which is where he’s best.
