AKC Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 First pick of the 2006 draft Mario Williams versus 7th rounder Terrence Pennington- That's usually a bad omen; congrats to the kid from Compton holding his own under circumstances that have typically been embarassing for many before him.

JimBob2232 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 It seems to be a trend that the 7th rounders from last year are outperforming the first rounders.

AKC Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 Good thing Mario was at half speed today. 842789[/snapback] I don't see that as very relevant- the truth is that Williams looked at the game as a chance to come back to show off his skillset, and Pennington didn't give him the chance. On the "experience" curve, this was a good day for our new RT IMO. I don't think anyhone would deny the confidence boost, and that alone can be a big help to any late pick or UFA getting their shot at the big time.
AKC Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 Pennington's from Compton? 842795[/snapback] Yep. His parents are both professionals who still llive in South Central along with other family members.
udonkey Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Pennington's from Compton? 842795[/snapback] STRAIGHT outta Compton
AKC Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 STRAIGHT outta Compton 842814[/snapback] STRAIGHT outta Compton might have been our boy on the train to TJ ;-)
Mikie2times Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Yep. His parents are both professionals who still llive in South Central along with other family members. 842806[/snapback] Well good for him. I'm sure his experiences helped build character, and resiliency. Let's hope he can translate that to the field.

My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I don't care if he's from Compton or Charlotte, I'd like to see the Bills have one successful run to his side- I don't think I have since he's been in the lineup
JStranger76 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Hold the phone. Mario Williams could only push off on one leg today. Let's wait till the end of the year.
RuntheDamnBall Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I don't always pay as close attention to the football nuances that posters like AKC can catch. I'd say if he's impressed, I'm impressed by Pennington. I did notice I didn't hear his name today, which is as good an indication as any. I would, however, really like to see the run-blocking improve.

Let's wait till the end of the year. 842893[/snapback] I cant stand the exaggeration by some posters on this topic. "Mario Williams was at half speed...... Mario only had one leg........" whatever it is, do you really think that if Mario was that bad off he would have played? Players typically dont play unless they are 80-90% healthy, otherwise its dangerous and stupid. Give Pennington some damn credit, even if Mario was a little hobbled
Sig1Hunter Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I don't care if he's from Compton or Charlotte, I'd like to see the Bills have one successful run to his side- I don't think I have since he's been in the lineup 842873[/snapback] A-Train had a 12 yard run to the right side in the first half.
Bill from NYC Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 First pick of the 2006 draft Mario Williams versus 7th rounder Terrence Pennington- That's usually a bad omen; congrats to the kid from Compton holding his own under circumstances that have typically been embarassing for many before him. 842788[/snapback] I second that. Pennington seemed to have better balance yesterday than last week. I would also like to see him get a little stronger. He appears to have a frame that could hold a little more bulk. He has potential, but he is still a project imo. It is great that he is getting reps! On the Jason Peters watch, was it only me, or did he remind others of Jonas Jennings? Like Jennings, he seems to have added a bit of weight around the old midsection, which is great for him. His TE days are officially over and the extra weight will help him push DEs around and tire them out. Hey, I know it was "only" Houston, but this was also "only" his second start at LT, and the guy is showing me a friggin TON! Yeah, I am officially on the "Jason Peters Bandwagon."
