Can Trevor Penning play Left Guard? (5 Viewers)

Penning is too tall to move to guard. I would love Booker in round 2

Toooooo tall???????????? Huh??? There have many, many awesome 6'5 and above guards.

I can only speculate but I believe the staff didn't do much of anything on both sides of the ball pertaining to line development.
Just ask Cam and he'll tell us

ON the DL , hell yes Grantham was as bad a DL coach as Marrone was an OL coach. But Benton and Dennison are 2 of the best , just look at what they did with Penning

Some people don't think his flaws would translate well to playing guard. I don't know. I do look at a player in Mekhi Becton that struggled to find a spot at tackle with the Jets and he had the same narrative surrounding him in that he would be even worse at guard. He even had our OL coach John Benton there trying to make it work at tackle.

The Jets eventually gave up and Philly picked him up for cheap and he's played very well at guard for the Eagles. Jeff Stoutland seems to know how to get the best out of every OL. It's possible that Penning could play well there.

When you have an OL like the Eagles have it was hard for Becton to post one of their OTs out. Their G play was the only weaker link so they threw him in there. Much like we did with Peat. AND Stoutland IS the best OL coach in the world.

If you move TP to OG you are just creating a hole @ RT to be filled and it's easier to fill an OG position than a OT
