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

CajunSaint08 said

If Penning is moved to guard and becomes one of the most dominant guards ever to play for the Saints, would he be considered a bust? I would say no. I would think he was a great draft pick. So why are the Saints trying to put a square peg in a round hole?

Unless Penning worked his butt off this offseason, and used specialized training to increase his foot speed and upper body technique, why not move him to guard?

SMH . Just forget about the Penning you saw last yr. That guy was the product of being injured for the whole yr including last offseason and not getting the work he would have gotten. PLUS he was the product of PUTRID OL coaching in Marrone. Benton has said that TP is very athletic and had one of the highest RAS scores of any O lineman EVER. But just stick to that narrative that he has slow feet and is weak. Both Benton and Dennison see him as a T and not a G . There has ben NO mention of anyone on the staff about him playing G even though we have a glaring hole @ LG. Sorry I' m gonna take the opinion of 2 of THE best OL coaches in the NFL over yours or anyone else on this or any other board me included
I think TP if he stays @ RT and not LT will be the starter in the opening game
