Dennis Allen said that the Saints don't have time for that.

There was a mixed response to the situation on social media.

You'd rather have a lineman being told to tone it down than ramp it up. Penning will learn how to practice over this month... But I promise the Saints love this attitude https://t.co/v2EcDi9HMf

Also look around the league. Brandon Aiyuk and Fred Warner went at it yesterday. It's camp. Things get chippy. All I'm saying is let's just chill for a second.

One of the vets needs to get with Penning and tell him to stop taking his own guys to the ground in practice. Dudes can get hurt when you tackle them into spots like this.

I get “practicing how you play”, but coaches HATE when you go to ground in practice. Just shouldn’t do it. https://t.co/HTQC5Ow8eV pic.twitter.com/LMESDwAXlm

Gray told reporters that he and Penning were competitors. "Doing everything you can to hold the standard of Saints football"

Penning plays with a level of disgust for anyone lined up against him and seeks out violent block finishes when he is on the field.

One player fighting three days in a row is a concern for the Saints. Penning will be worried about losing his cool and being baited into fights.

A nasty streak is a good trait for a linemen to have, but not if it costs the offense 15 yards due to unsportsmanlike conduct or penalties.
