I'd be interested to see if Ware gets any reps at RT now or when Penn is back. I thought he looked solid in pass pro on Friday night. A year of coaching and in the weight rooms seems to have helped quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget Breno is in the mix and is hurt RN. I don't think it's as bleak as some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's entrenched as the RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn hasn't practiced all offseason so it makes sense so far that the 1st round pick LT of the future get all the reps he there while he can . Especially given that Penn's return to health is far from certain. But if Penn comes back I find it hard to believe Miller won't get a look on the right side. Even if Penn is back and one of the current RT candidates locks up the starting position, Miller would likely be the swing OT and would need reps on both sides.

But the staff said cut and dry, he's a LT so they have no plans to play him on the right or as a swing tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverNBlackFan Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 @GehlkenNFL Raiders and LT Donald Penn have agreed to contract restructure, source says. In exchange to new team-friendly parameters, Penn will receive more guaranteed money over next two years than he otherwise was set to earn So penn will definitely be on the team this year.

Makes sense to use Lee as a 2 down thumper, and DJ in on passing downs as he is elite in coverage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOaktown_56 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Penn is still a good player at a premium position. I want him as long as he can play. People who want him gone have no idea how hard it is to find a quality OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolni Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 When Penn is back he will have to battle it out with Kolton...most probably Penn will start when he is 100% and Kolton will be his back up. I have no problem with that. Ware will have a hard time sticking around without the back up LT spot, since he is not in the RT battle...maybe PS and ER option behind Kolton if Penn goes down... At RT we have a couple of guys working hard and the best may win the spot. After that we will have to be smart and help the winner out, because most probably he will be a rookie (Parker), a young somewhat raw guy (Sharpe, Ian) or an old below average stop gap (BG). We will use TE's and maybe even 6th OL to be sure about protecting Carr. With Carr's quick release I'm not super worried about the OL. I want the best run blocker at RT, because the run game will be critical to our success IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
