Can Trevor Penning play Left Guard?

I 100% believe they would have moved him to guard in the Andrus peat "flex G/T" roll until Ram was ruled out for the season. Assuming we can get a solid RT, I'm down to move Penning to G as I think his poor footwork lends better to guard play than tackle. However I will acknowledge he was one of the few bright spots last year. He played every game and outside of a few penalties, his name was not called much. Not at all what i expected going into the year.

Penning was never in contention for Guard. They signed an experienced starting Left Guard Lucas Patrick before minicamp.

The initial plan going into May was for Penning to compete with Fuaga at Left Tackle. But Fuaga ran away with the starting Left Tackle job from day 1 in rookie minicamp. Penning’s next options were compete for starting RT with Udoh or he would have became the top backup OT.

Fortunately Penning was able to establish himself as a starting RT. His development needs the continuity of staying at the one position working for him.
