I think Pennell being as good as he's been has actually helped Wharton.
It keeps teams behind the sticks and lets Wharton do what he's best at - get after the passer.
He reminds be a bit of Rakeem Nunes-Roches. RNR didn't have any interest at all in run defense (Wharton is better than him in that regard) but really did seem to have a knack for getting after the passer.
When you let Wharton just go in there with fresh legs and eat in the middle, he shows a ton of juice. He always has, but wasn't able to do it as often because guys like Nnadi let the opponent stay in more favorable down/distance situations.
