We got a look at a lot of “new” Thursday night. The first game of the 2021 season. The first look at this year’s rookie class. And it was the first chance for Matt Canada to call an NFL game. His stamp on the Steelers’ offense was evident against the Cowboys.
Canada’s offense is designed to get its QB on the move one way and the defense moving the other. At its core, an offense that looks the same at the snap with multiple options the defense can’t respond and react to until it’s too late.
A great illustration of that came three times in the second half of the preseason opener.
