With the decision to move on from offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the Pittsburgh Steelers are putting the focus on second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett to get things turned around offensively.
Under Canada, Pittsburgh’s offense was consistently stuck in the mud, unable to generate much of anything consistently, leading to one of the league’s worst offenses in each of the three seasons Canada was at the helm of it.
Now though, the play-caller excuse has been removed from the equation. Though the scheme will remain much of the same in the final six weeks of the season, Pickett is going to need to show he is progressing, rather than regressing.
