Penix ranks 6th in DVOA under pressure but 31st when pressure materializes.

Penix enters Week 8 against Tampa Bay with a mixed pressure profile: he ranks 6th in DVOA under pressure according to FTN Fantasy, demonstrating poise against the Bucs' blitz-heavy scheme; however, he ranks 31st in DVOA when blitzes actually create pressure, indicating vulnerability when the pocket collapses. The source notes Penix must use his quick release to attack soft spots over the middle before Tampa's pass rushers can drag him down.
