Genius Comment by Nick: I see Lucas Patrick as depth “nothing more”, but the guy started 15 games for Chicago last year 48 starts in last 4 years. Remind me why Nick Saldevari is just gonna beat him out? I doubt it to start the season, but NS will HOPEFULLY 🤞🏽 be able to win a starting job during the season.
I don’t get the Penning hate… He was injured year one. We all complained how bad the o-line and offensive coaches were but we blame Penning for not improving?!
Why do the Saints always try to change players position instead of playing them according to their abilities!! They drafted Zach Baun in round 2 and played him in a totally different positional scheme. He didn't drop into pass coverage in college... he rushed the passer and the results show why he was a pass rusher in college.
What “hate”? Penning hasn’t been very good when he’s played. Poor hand placement & slow footwork. He either gets it together in year 3 or has a seat on the bench. So far, he’s looking like a colossal bust.
Training Camp everyone will get too see who is standing out and who isn't. I like Lucas Patrick signing as solid role player that can play G/C whether he starter or not he can valuable glue guy with experience. Fuega has the talent to play either side of the OL his college coach and Jim Nagy have said the kid has the skills to do it so let's see how it plays out. If Penning plays well then you have a backup LT and move Landon Young or whoever at RT so you are prepared not waiting till game day to figure it out without ever knowing.
I wouldn't be surprised if the new offensive line coach comes in and helps Penning become an amazing left tackle. Truth be told, with all the rules and regulations, offensive lineman don't get the time to develop like they did in the old days. They limit practice times in college, and the pro's. The union LIMITS PRACTICE in the pro's also and it really hinders their growth.
Thank you Mike Triplet on Lucas Patrick's starting experience. Nick talking about starting Salvidari and Penning with little to no experience and discrediting Lucas Patrick and Shane Lumeaux is crazy.
It all depends on Ramczyk, if he comes back healthy and returns to form then absolutely put Fuaga at left tackle. Imagine how awesome that would be. But based on reports I’m not sure Ramczyk will be back.
It's amazing how people write of penning.. he had some bad games starting out but everyone on the line had issues...and pennings last 2 games he did really well the. Gets benched? He was the fall guy for no reason and everyone is still dogging this kid? It's sad
@@thehandsomenerd6719when I say him nor Pete changed nothing I mean nothing. I thought the line coach atleast would change up the blocking schemes but nope. No kind of pulling, movement nor getting to the second level.
I agree. He’s clearly got things to work on but it takes time. He came from a small school where he could just use his ELITE physical traits bc he is elite in that way. But now he has to catch up with the technical skills. It will come
Didn't Fuaga have a left-handed quarterback at Oregon State? I seem to remember hearing that. It could be why they played him at RT to begin with, to protect the blind side. If that's correct, then he'd likely have been an LT in college if they would have had a righty. LT is definitely the more important position with a righty at QB. It's smart to at least try him at LT and see what happens. The disappointing part of it is it looks like they're giving up on Penning. There's no way they're doing this if Penning is all-pro at LT. I hate to see a 1st round bust, especially given the state of this roster, but, hey, it happens. The draft is hit or miss. You're only compounding the mistake by holding on too long to a player who can't get the job done.
I think everyone's reading waaaay too much into this. Penning may not be the answer at LT. Penning is not in rookie minicamp, so you can get a little training for Fuaga in at LT and it's a good time to do so because you're not taking snaps from Penning. It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything.
This is only a test to see if he could fill a hole if we had 2 injuries. Fuaga will be a RT, and a damn good one. I expect the Saints to start Penning and bench im after 3 games. Who will step up? No idea.
I dont like that we dont have an offensive philosophy yet there’s plenty of tape on everyone to know their strengths and weaknesses KK should have a formulated philosophy already
People like to fuss and complain, especially about DA coaching decisions. If he doesn't do well at tackle it will be heard all year, and if he does a good job, we will never hear a peep about it again.
I don't know but last year the O-line got punched in the mouth. I hope the new OC makes them aggressive and mean. Maybe let Penning play aggressively and let the guys figure it out a little bit.
The reason behind the discourse stems from the "continuity and culture" HC announcement, and DA fuels the fire because he went against the norms and rebuilt the team in his image through three seasons and not all at once. The Saints need to do better at controlling the narrative. They've done better through social media since the season ended.
@@mitchellmilano3789 thank you for the reply. To clarify, I was trying to say that I believe DA will allow KK to be more autonomous versus what transpired with PC. I was saying DA likely had to begin keeping tabs on the O much more last year due to the early season lack of performance.

Uk how it go somebody gotta take the blame
They don’t wanna admit how bad our o-line coach was. He was horrible!
😮😮😮😮c😮y😮yo mom

Damn Brotha now we know it’s Nicks fault we didn’t get Pat Mahomes lol what coulda been
This is only a test to see if he could fill a hole if we had 2 injuries.
Fuaga will be a RT, and a damn good one.

Lucas Patrick will definitely win a starting spot. He is a team leader. Go watch his films
I dont like that we dont have an offensive philosophy yet there’s plenty of tape on everyone to know their strengths and weaknesses KK should have a formulated philosophy already
21:55 when it comes to these contracts all i see is the money guaranteed , burrow got 219 guaranteed and a lot of is guaranteed over 3 years
And it's practice who gives a shit where he is on the line lmfao
It's called desperation.
NOF is starting to feel like a Saints admin apologist network. The team has been and is doing some questionable stuff.
Why not call them out on it?

Bruh why is that a topic if they wanna try him at left then ok penning might get injured these dudes sometimes
If you can block you can block.
I think it's wise to at least take a look at him at LT. It's ok if he ends up at RT anyway, but if Fuaga becomes a Pro Bowl LT, it would be genius.

Klint Kubiak is RUNNING THE O SHOW GUYS… DA is low-key standing out of Klint’s way. Likely, this was a MAJOR STIPULATION to Klint taking the job.

Yes the o line this year will be average at best
I think the Saints should try this because injuries will happen.
