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.

I personally think he will be moved inside to see if they can anything out of him and maybe later try him again on the outside. I am not convinced moving him inside will work because I would have to think it would have been tried during the season when those injuries started hitting.
