Cesar Ruiz is finally starting to feel comfortable with his stance, fundamentals of playing guard after challenging rookie year

Last year was staggering for Cesar Ruiz.

The very foundation of his game changed. Coming up through the ranks as a center, he started every snap in a braced position, ready to take on the action. At guard, where he played as a rookie, his legs were staggered, and he had to find a way to get to a braced position to take on a defensive lineman.

So, every snap, Ruiz had to think about his fundamentals and how he was supposed to move before considering what the guy across from him was doing.
