What if I told you Penning is..... (1 Viewer)

[kcirdor]

currently the best lineman on the team. *Not counting McCoy on IR* change my mind....(notice I didn't specify O lineman)

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

He still gives up plays but he’s not the weak spot we expected coming into the season.

 

[Deuuuuce]

Best player on one of the worst offensive lines in the league doesn’t mean much.

 

[rlemieux]

I’m pretty tall compared to a dwarf too.

Like being valedictorian of summer school

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

He’s done better than most of us expected, for sure.

And what if I told you that Peyton Turner is currently a defensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints? Fills one up with as much awe, doesn't it?

 

[TenTwo]

Y'all are being ducks but he's been way better that we all were worried about. Name one time in the last three games where he had a penalty, gave up a sack or really any negative play

I mean if you're looking at a fence with rickety and missing boards...you're going to slip through the missing boards and leave the rickety boards alone.

Penning is no longer the path of least resistance

Right. And if the word is out that we’re game planning to protect Penning, it makes sense that the opposing defense gets pressure from somewhere else.

Does it really matter at this point?

Does it really matter at this point?

Nope...not even a little. But let's lie to ourselves so that we can think that Penning is something we can build around

 

[St. Widge]

Does it really matter at this point?

Yes. It matters because at some point DA will be gone and we will have to build a team. If Penning is good at RT and Fuaga is good at LT, that's two really good building blocks to start with.

So, I don't know, maybe people could consider not sheetting on everything Saints related just for a little while?

He's played well the last several weeks and if he can continue to play that way, he could be one of the pieces we need to build a team. I'm not sure how that's a bad thing, but I'm sure I'll be told.
