[Deleted X post] Rizzi’s interview was impressive per Nick Underhill
Sorry, he’s a mouth piece for perceived agendas at times.
Yep. The clincher for me was the Penning saga at the beginning of the 2023 season. Penning started the first few games at LT. All along the way, Nick was praising Penning's apparent progress.
Then out of nowhere, Penning is benched for James Hurst. And all of a sudden, Nick's entire posture changed. Immediately, he had an article out defending the benching, claiming it was obviously not working, and pointing out all of Penning's unacceptable deficiencies on film (none of which he seemed to observe or comment on before the benching was announced).
It was really odd. My point isn't about whether or not Penning should've been benched. Let's take it for granted that it was a necessary move. But as a loyal listener to Nick's podcast (at the time) it was weird to hear him do a complete about-face regarding Penning's play.
I'm not faulting him for doing what he does. I understand. But I also see it for what it is and have learned to take things with a grain of salt.
