The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t completely tipping their hand of what their offensive scheme will look like under new OC Matt Canada. Especially considering Ben Roethlisberger has to yet to play this preseason, though that’ll change later tonight.
But something Canada did repeatedly last week against Thursday really caught my eye. It wasn’t ground-breaking or earth-shattering. But something overdue to see in Pittsburgh. Under Todd Haley and Randy Fichtner, too many routes were independent of each other. Asking each guy to win their route, which became a big issue against man coverage, especially in 2019 when the WR group was decimated by injury.
