OTAs Week 1’s Practice Notes & Highlights: Trevor Penning moving to Right Tackle

In theory cross training seems like a great idea. Nobody is going to argue that versatility isn't a good thing, but sometimes it's better to let guys focus on one thing and get a firm grasp on it. So in this case we have a rookie and a third year player who struggled at LT. Let them focus on where they are projected to play and give them as many reps as you can so they can learn that position.
This is how football on lower levels is played everywhere in the US usually when a new coaching staff comes in.
All jobs are up for grabs and all positions have to be earned!

It is very open minded for DA to let John Benton come in and start over.
As a Saints fan you can't ask for a better start to a new season!

Moving Penning to RT in order for him to get his mind right is a career saving move!

I like what Benton said that in order to be successful in today's NFL you need 2 athletic Tackles;
that they are basically interchangeable & the Saints are employing that dimension to their OL!
