Matt Canada’s offense of pre-snap motion, jet runs, and lots of window dressing isn’t just something to draw up on a whiteboard with X’s and O’s. We should talk about the personnel too along with the schematics. One guy benefitting from Canada’s influence on this offense is RB Anthony McFarland. It’s hardly a surprise. McFarland succeeded under Canada in 2018 at Maryland. They’re reunited, Canada hired last year and promoted to OC this season in replacing Randy Fichtner.
He’s brought that college flair to the Steelers’ offense. McFarland has benefitted more than maybe anyone else. He’s logging serious playing time, even with the team taking Najee Harris in the first round.
