Atlanta, on the other hand, had a glaring need at safety and at edge (Judon). |

Go pay Trent Williams for 1 year while Penning either figures it out or we can draft our Fuaga for the right side. |

Re: Justin Simmons Visiting Saints
In absolutely no scenario would I want to see Trevor Penning lined up in a regular season game facing REAL defensive ends.
There is just no way winning teams would have him starting at OT. He's not going to figure it out. If I'm Carr, I'd be very concerned on my right side. Very concerned. |

I was so excited when they drafted him. Man what a bust. The only reason he’s still employed is DA is having a pride issue. |
