NFL: The Insiders on Michael Penix Jr.

Penix's 31st-ranked EPA vs. DB blitzes; 49ers likely to exploit weakness.

Michael Penix has significant vulnerabilities against DB blitzes; he has faced DB blitzes at the highest rate in the NFL, posting a 53.1% completion percentage (24th in NFL), 5.9 yards per attempt (18th in NFL), and negative 0.52 EPA per play (31st out of 33 qualifying QBs); the source suggests the 49ers' defense, led by Raheem Morris, could exploit this weakness by bringing Malik Mustafa off the edge repeatedly, particularly given Penix's inconsistency and three prior knee injuries affecting his mobility.
