Someone on Saints Report suggested moving Penning to DT because of lack of footwork and slow hands to play on the OL. I’m intrigued. Thoughts?

Worked in Madden so that means it would certainly work in real life.

I mean i just don't understand the rational that you have slow hands and feet so that in turn would make you a better DT vs a LG.

Penning had a 9.96 RAS score. Are we sure it was slow feet that was the problem? I think he got into it with a coach or something

ETA... more I think about it, it was probably a fight or argument with Carr

Should never have been drafted by the Saints.

First round hasn’t been kind to the saints. Payton turner, penning and Olave. All were bad picks. Olave in the first round wasn’t bad, it was having to trade for him that makes it bad.

Maybe it's time to stick with safer blue blood picks in the first. Bresee and olave fit this mold, and they appear to be solid picks

This is why the Wonderlic test was so important.

Penning’s hands and feet are nowhere near slow, his problems are purely technique based. When Zach Strief coached him up the improvement in his game was telling. Especially in the run game. I think losing Strief was a knock in Penning’s confidence, He’s not injured going into this offseason, so hopefully he will be able to hammer out the kinks and put his top level athleticism on display next season.

It gets worse when the guy we passed on gets picked a few picks later by Dallas made the all pro team. Talent evaluation by our front office has been horrible.

This has been the main problem with our front office. They picked Fosky who also had a high score and passed on Branch who had a low metric. Watching tape an amateur could tell who was the real football player.

Sure enough, one started and contributed on a team that won the division, the other rode the pine on a team that got little production at his position and missed the playoffs.
