Former Steelers DL Chris Hoke Believes Matt Canada Isn’t The Issue Offensively: ‘Bullseye Is Not On Him’

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada finds himself under quite a bit of scrutiny thanks to the Steelers’ dismal offensive showings — again.

Those awful offensive showings from the Steelers in the first quarter of the season has led to calls for Canada’s job growing louder and louder from within the fan base, the local media and even in the national media.

Former Steelers defensive lineman Chris Hoke, who played for the team from 2001-11, doesn’t feel that the offensive issues lie with Canada.

Appearing on 93.7 The Fan’s Cook and Joe Show with Joe Starkey and Ron Cook, Hoke defended Canada, stating that it’s hard for him to criticize the coach when “guys are open” and that the bullseye is not on Canada, at least from his perspective.
