Next week we will have joint practices and they can fight other teams

Joint practices are the shite. They can get after each other in ways they can’t on the regular season broadcast

This is being completely overblown. I wouldn’t call these “fights” except the one with roach. It’s been mainly pushing matches.


The saints have needed some toughness anyway, so I’m all for it.

If the link is one of the fights in question, it doesnt look like he started that fight. He stayed on his block and the DE got pissy.

edit: i only watched the first scuffle in the link when i first posted. Didnt look like he started the second one either. He must be talking shite the entire time before those plays because that just looks like he is trying to stay on blocks

I mean, who didn't see this coming? His draft profile:

Strengths
Gritty, throwback field demeanor.
Big, broad, proportional frame with desired center of gravity.
Added nearly 100 pounds since entering college thanks to maniacal weight work.
Good bend for a big guy.
Compact, efficient movements as run blocker.
Arcs up to linebacker with good balance and control.
Adequate quickness and athleticism as a pull-blocker.
Size, strength and bend equal bulldozing potential.
Plays with a strong desire to snatch the will of opponents.
Gains adequate set depth as a tackle.
Punches with sharp inside stab to the sternum.
Will be hard to get around once he pieces it together.

Weaknesses
Will have to learn to control and harness his on-field fire.
Power zone is a little more narrow than expected.
Needs to strengthen both inside and outside hands.
Below-average move adjustments due to size.
Can be tardy getting to his second block on combos.
Opens inside gate with early turns on pass sets.
Could struggle to maintain outside hand at the top of the rush.
Inconsistent recognition and snap-offs against twists.
Needs to clasp and snuff out room to counter for rusher.

There’s definitely a point where the defense is always going to shove back in team drills if a guy is trying to bury guys into the dirt every play. Couple of those reps he was using some bad leverage just in the name of getting the player on the ground away from where the play went, which could end pretty ugly if they turn the wrong way. Especially if that player is a rookie. There’s a reasonable limit to “finishing the play” when you’re in a practice scenario.

Not that I think this is a big deal at all, but I can def see why the defenders would be like frick this, especially if he’s been doing it all week.

The main thing for Penning is to make sure his play on the field matches that attitude, because no one will be there to defend you if not

New requirement for Linemen/TE and a few other positions, think they only have to wear it for the first week or two of camp. Think they’ve been shown to lessen head injuries
