Bright side to the year: Trevor Penning

He may not be the 2nd coming of Anthony Munoz (or even Ryan Ramczyk) but he did make himself fairly invisible this season. Bone-headed penalties still occurred (3 Unneccesary roughness calls all year!) and while 13 penalties total is not ideal from your RT, he didn't get lit up by anyone either. For reference, Fuagu had 11 at LT.

Considering most of us were worried he was going to be a horrible component on a good line, the joke is on us: he turned out to be a good component on a horrible line! He played 100% of the offensive snaps in 16 games, and only missed 5 or 6 snaps in the Dallas game. This year he showed himself to be durable and able to be counted on, so that is a win. I'm sure there is room for improvement, if not criticism, of his performance, but frankly he is an ascending player on a team full of descending ones.
