Re: 2025 OTAs
 

Bump on Trevor Penning ….

He’s running out of lives. This is his final audition on that oline.
He will either sink or swim at G. Saints didn’t pick up his 5th year option and they drafted Banks with the first selection in this years draft.

TP will need to get lower & have better leverage at the G position. I don’t see this as an easy transition.

Coach Nugent & Jahri Evans - X factors here.

We'll see, but decent feedback so far at G .

Re: 2025 OTAs
 

Since the beginning Penning's strength has been run blocking, right? The guard position may be more inline with that strength.

Re: 2025 OTAs
 

We shall see. I'm no o line coach but I have my doubts.

Re: 2025 OTAs
 

I'm glad they are trying out Penning now at LG to find out sooner rather than later if he can be effective at guard. I have my doubts.

I don't agree with this narrative that moving a tackle to a guard is a simple way to minimize pass blocking weaknesses. Pass blocking in the interior is also tough. Pass protecting at guard requires a lot of teamwork and recognition of stunts and a-gap blitzes. Guard is far from easy and at times more difficult than tackle.

I think Crusader is. I'd like to hear his input.

Re: 2025 OTAs
 

He was always a Guard. Just look at that face.

Re: 2025 OTAs
 

Definitely a guard face! LOL!!

Re: 2025 OTAs
 

Penning has issues with footwork and dealing with quickness so hopefully the change does him good. He'll also have some help on both sides of him now with Banks and McCoy. I'm optimistic for about him for now.

Re: 2025 OTAs
 

Said the same earlier. Sandwiched between two *pro bowlers, he should have a solid career.
