Can Trevor Penning play Left Guard?

Penning had his good game, and his bad games. He’s a monster in run blocking, and still developing as a pass defender. Which only makes sense as he was a small school guy whose draft position was more on potential rather than performance against major programs. But then that’s how the saints have drafted recently.

He finally settled into RT. Sure he had his bad days (Green Bay) but other times he was top 5 even top 2. Once this board gets after someone, they stay horrible forever. Anyone remember Ingram? Anyway, he improved dramatically. Keep him, keep coaching him up. If we trade or lose him now we are back to using another high draft pick on a tackle which gets us no where as we need 3/4 of a defensive line, 5/6 of a WR corps, safety or two, a running back, possibly a TE, a linebacker to groom. We don’t need to waste a pick by messing with Penning. Plus, while Rattler has potential, his decision making for the most part was glacial and that lead to a high sack and pressure count.
