The New Orleans Saints are looking to make a change at left tackle against the Houston Texans. James Hurst may protect Derek Carr’s blind side instead of Trevor Penning on Sunday at NRG Stadium. With the offense being inconsistent over the last five games, making some changes was inevitable.
When the Saints drafted Penning, they had high expectations. He’s been an unexpected liability in the run game with improved pass protection, but the second year left tackle struggles. Penning may be hindered more by benching him and taking him out of the starting lineup.
