With the subtraction of OC Matt Canada from the team’s offense on Tuesday, the scapegoat for head coach Mike Tomlin and QB Kenny Pickett has officially left the building.
Much has been made the last few months regarding what is the true reason for Pittsburgh’s struggles on offense. Some have pointed to Pittsburgh’s infamous former offensive coordinator and his simple, bland offensive system that failed to inspire many as the results the last three seasons have been less than mediocre. Others have gone to blame Pickett as he has seemingly regressed on the field in his second season, looking scattershot at times with the football as he;ll miss open receivers down the field or run straight into trouble as he attempts to leave the pocket.
