Penning is built like a LT. His tendency to play too high will get him destroyed at OG.

I think Penning is a LT or bust.

Agreed. If he's having issues playing LT without tripping or holding, I can only imagine the issues he'd have with missed assignments and combo blocks on the interior. It'd make a bad situation worse.

It takes most players a while to get down the proper techniques these days. They don't really get much "coaching" in college. I remember reading Jason Kelce saying his form was so bad after three or four years in the NFL he was expecting to get cut. He said a new coach turned him around by correcting his bad techniques and now he's headed for the Hall of Fame.

There's hope after all.
