Re: Trevor Penning leaning into technical aspects of playing offensive tackle with New Orleans Saints
I'd like to see a former player and/or analyst breakdown Trevor's complete body of work thus far.
From my untrained eye, the man is just slow to move his feet & resorts to tripping defenders, subsequent flag. Why not try to move him inside (G)? To be a former 1st rounder, you simply expect him to be better at this stage of his career. Just look at Bears rookie tackle Darnell Wright ... he's had solid showings against very good pass rushers (Crosby, Hunter, Chris Jones etc). Loomis can't keep holding on to these "injury" excuses. Saints better figure it out this off season. Penning's regression has been baffling. |

IMO I don't think it gets any easier and if anything it gets more challenging. In pass blocking you're going to have to recognize more stunts and get in position better. In run blocking you'll have to pull and lead a fair amount. Playing guard is far from being a traffic cone. |
