Looks like a subtle jab at Penn and a formal notice to get his tired old ass to camp in shape and be all in. I’m sure we will draft his replacement in April. I like that Chucky called out the LT and RT spots. Hopefully Jalyn Ware or Sharpe can win the battle for RT for this year. Or, a solid OT we draft can start at RT and take over for Penn in season if necessary and hasten his departure.
“Donald Penn got hurt late in the season. He had a contract holdout — I don’t think that helped matters. Missed some time in camp, that’s never a good thing. But we’re strong inside,” Gruden said. “We’re very stout in there. Love the two guards. And I think the center plays with as much individual effort as any guy in the league. I love watching (Rodney) Hudson play. He’s a great communicator. He’ll be the anchor. He’ll be key for us in the pivot.”
