Serve me up a large bowl of crow on TREVOR PENNING. Heck, add some tabasco hot sauce on it. He’s impressed the hell out of me last 3 weeks.

I think Dougie Marrone was holding him back.

Current Saints coaching staff playing to players strengths.

I don't think that coaching can fully explain it. Something clicked for Penning or this system really suits him. But it can't just be Marrone holding him back, because everyone else looked better than Penning in Marrone's system. Journeymen and undrafted free agents looked better. If Marrone was holding him back, we have to question if Danny Wuerffel, Jason David, Jonathan Sullivan, Stephone Anthony, etc were great all pro level players only held back by their position coaches at the time. I dont know that most of them had great position coaches.

I hope Penning continues to produce. He has focus and he needs to stay focused now if he wants to get paid.
