Great segment on Trevor Penning

I love Trevor Penning's nasty streak for the a very clear reason: it is something you cannot teach, and it is always easier to rein something like that in than it is to crank it up.

I will shout this from the rooftops because as a coach, intensity is something you absolutely LOVE.

Do I want him to be Kyle Turley? Hell no. Kyle Turley was out of control.

I also don't think he will be Kyle Turley. He has a coaching staff and veteran group of o-linemen who are going to set boundaries for him and cultivate that energy in the right direction. Will he get a penalty sometimes? Will he have a nasty reputation? Probably.

Will he be Kyle Turley or Richie Incognito. I highly doubt it. I tell my offensive linemen all the time that there is a huge gulf between being a d*ckh**d and a piece of s**t. Opponents hate the former. Teammates hate the latter.

Yes, Penning is fighting his teammates, but that is pretty normal stuff this time of year. The coaches nipped it when he went to far. The panic over this dude being a little too intense is extremely premature.
