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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Pineapple on pizza should be a 10-yard penalty

Isn't it nice hearing 2 young QB's talk about improving their game and wanting this team to win, instead of Derek Carr who it always felt was so "finger pointing and disingenuous"
