O line battle

So here is my take on the backups
1. Spencer Anderson can play all 5 positions and is probably a low end starter type at Guard, so he is making it. Near lock
2. McCollum- they really like this guy. Id be very shocked if his spot wasnt already a lock.

3. Andrus Peat. While he has played some OT, he mostly played LG in the league, making the pro bowl 3 times there... he was a late addition and my guess it was because top guard backup Max Scharping wasnt really impressing. Some of the other young guards are interesting, they probably are PS material right now

4. Calvin Anderson or Dylan Cook.
Cook has the bigger upside and is better at LT, Anderson is more established.

Define handled correctly based on the injuries that occurred. I don't see where they had much other choice than to do what they did based on the personnel they had available at the time. Sure, in a perfect world I want him at LT from the start but when you only have 53 roster spots and OL is always in severe need around the league and overpriced at that they did what they had to do. Every first round tackle drafted in 2024 switched sides last year from their college side.

when your LT sucks, you trade up in the first and grab a LT, you start that rookie there. If the former LT cannot play RT, then why the hell did they trade up for LT with many RTs easily available in the original draft spot. That short legged LT should have been riding pine the past 2 years or should have been able to learn RT better than the rookie LT the Steelers traded up to get.

Tell that to every team that drafted a first round tackle and had them switch sides. I get what you are saying but life doesn’t always workout according to the plan. Once again injuries forced their hands on where to play people. We also got a third round pick out of doing it the way we did. I think people make WAY too big a deal out of this as if it was the way they planned on it working out.

The drunk part is help with the pissed off part. Or make it worse depending on your personality. I am typically a pretty happy drunk.
