Noah StrackbeinHOST
Troy Fatanu, Zach Frazier, you're not gonna bench either of those guys, because who are you putting out there? The guy that you just benched in Dylan Cook? No, that's not gonna happen.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Ryan McCollum? Maybe, but chances are that's not gonna happen.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
You're not gonna bench a Jaquan Brisker because you don't have any options behind him to replace him, and there are a couple of guys like that.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
But there are also a couple of guys like Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson who, yeah, Cole Holcomb is not the answer, but maybe Carson Brunner has shown enough to give him an opportunity.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
And like we continue to say, Spencer Anderson's a good rotational piece to have.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Ryan McCollum's a good rotational piece to have.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Makai Beckton is not.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Makai Beckton [laughs] is not a name-
Joe KuzmaHOST
They were working him in on the right side.
Joe KuzmaHOST
They had Spencer and Cook on the left side with the backups, with Ryan McCollum the backup center, at least in the media por- the open media portions of practice, with first-round pick Max Xiongtor looking like he could make his debut Sunday at right tackle.
Joe KuzmaHOST
And like I said, it can't get much worse, and you know, if Spencer's banged up or Spencer's just not playing up to snuff, I think they went with some continuity and the guys that knew each other, and Spencer-
Brian E. RoachHOST
Mm-hmm
IanHOST
But during the very limited portion, they said they had Brock Hoffman and Max, a hand chore working together on the right side.
IanHOST
And they had, um, you know, they had Anderson and cook, but it looked like there was a little bit of that Hoffman and Hannah chore working with Zach Frazier and the, uh, you know, cook Anderson working with Ryan McCollum.
IanHOST
So, uh, you know, does that mean there's going to be a switch this weekend? I don't know, but like, it really can't be worse than some of the things that Anderson and cook did this last week.
IanHOST
Like it was, it was bad on the right side.
Ricky TurnerHOST
He recorded a sack and four tackles against this team in 2024.
Ricky TurnerHOST
I think that was against – I think Mason McCormick was the right guard at that time, and they had Ryan McCollum on the inside, and they just could not block this guy.
Ricky TurnerHOST
Pittsburgh could not run the ball against this Giants defensive front because Dexter Lawrence was just a beast on the interior, and Spencer Anderson is a backup – a backup level player that's starting right now.
Ricky TurnerHOST
And that is no secret to anyone.
Jacob PunturiHOST
Well, uh, so here's the thing, yeah, and Mike McCarthy has, has instructed us this week, you know, and w- when you were there yesterday I think it was, when he gave this quote, maybe he talked about it more today, I can't remember, combinations again.
Jacob PunturiHOST
You know, working, checking out to see who was going with what and, and I saw a lot of Spencer Anderson working with Ryan McCollum.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jacob PunturiHOST
I saw a lot of Spencer Anderson working with Dylan Cook, and I saw a lot of Brock Hoffman working alongside Zach Frazier.
7 MINS LATER
Noah StrackbeinHOST
I think he's still, in their eyes, their best, their second best option.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
And they can get creative.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
I mean, you could bo- bump Ryan McCollum out to play guard if you need to.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
He played guard during training camp from time to time.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Did you see, uh, did you see Dylan Cook get the highest, the s- the highest grade, second-highest grade in Pittsburgh on offense in week one?
Jacob PunturiHOST
Who got the, the highest grade, Ryan McCollum?
Noah StrackbeinHOST
It might've been.
Jacob PunturiHOST
Yeah.
Jacob PunturiHOST
[laughs] He was not.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Shout out.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Was Ryan McCollum active? I think he was.
Jacob PunturiHOST
Had to have been if Jennings wasn't.
