Chuck Wagon Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 This thread title and then the OP talking about Donald Penn is such an epic fail. 1

Inigo Montoya Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Not sure what the specifics are behind Penn’s release, but this is a terrible time for a team to release a player. If they were going to release him they should have done it a week ago.

BillsFan4 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Penn is nowhere near the player he used to be, and is 36. Definitely wouldn’t consider him a top o linemen anymore.

billsfan_34 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Not only a vague title, but consider replacing “an” with “a”. I normally could care less about grammar but it reads and sounds awful when someone uses those 2 in the wrong places.
RyanC883 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 wouldnt mind Penn on a prove it deal. we have the cap space. could have a deep line.

ndirish1978 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Pretty much everything about the topic sentence is wrong. From "an top" to describing Penn as anything less than pedestrian and old.

More posters over the last few years see TBD as their very own clickbait opportunity. The self-centered types also live and die based on getting to post something before anyone else. Sad. 1

Trying to adjust his body on the fly to doing everything he's done for a long time in the opposite direction... Overcompensation injuries last year.

They typically relate to when someone has an injury. The body begins to overcompensate for the injured body part resulting in either a worse injury or another injury. I suppose changing from the left to the right could contribute to overcompensation injuries as he has played so long at one position, the mind-muscle connection may not be as developed for the differences, which will lead to overcompensation of the stronger muscles/connections. I didn't follow his injuries last year, so I have no idea if this was a contributing factor or not. I just read on a Raiders report that he was shifted to RT after they drafted a new LT.

Yeah I can't remember or find where I read about it. I think it was Geoff Schwartz or another former OL who mentioned it on Twitter basically saying Penn's body would have been very used to doing the kick slide and whatever other motions as an LT and as a result, also used to compensating for whatever "damage" that would cause as a football player. Suddenly Gruden decided to take him at 34 years old and however many years in the league and flip it over to RT and Penn's body was essentially like "Yeah buddy this isn't how we do things"
