If you want a flag magnet OT that throws defenders into your QBs knees and destroys your RBs running lanes while failing to pick up stunts because he chases defenders down the line, then Penning is the OT for you.

If he were not lacking a great deal of discipline and awareness I'd take him too. Do you think Rhule can coach him up with discipline and awareness?

Quite possibly the easiest and most expected attributes to coach. In fact that’s peanuts to some of the characters coaches are tasked with keeping under wraps. Not worried about this in the slightest and honestly not sure anyone would in general, even with Rhule.

The techniques of an oline INVOLVE hiding dirty plays more than any other position in the entire sport, it’s simply a matter of learning the art than stopping it altogether. 

The kid has what you can’t coach and lacks what’s easiest to coach imo.

The big thing with Penning (and scouts have hit on this) is that he needs to play with more consistent leverage and hip bend. He stands straight up quite a bit and just used his brute strength to overpower guys which won’t be as successful in the NFL.

Worst case scenario though is that he kicks inside and is a mauler guard like Norwell was for us.

The "half"squat in the clip is horrendous. Not sure why anyone would include that. It just highlight his issue with the bend.

Have you heard of the DBO sign? Problem solved

Yeah his technique is pretty poor but I’m guessing that doesn’t matter at UNI because the d-lineman he is going up against are probably sub 300 lbs. and just can’t match his strength.

You're right. That sign seemed to solve the Panthers problems in 2021, we just cant see it yet. Hopefully, they make Rhule stare at it all practice long and fire the idiot who created that sign.

Nothing saids champion mindset or winning culture like a sign to negatively reinforce a pattern of self-deprication.
