Matt Canada is the Pittsburgh Steelers new OC. But don’t expect to see him standing on the sidelines next to Ben Roethlisberger this season. In a Thursday Q&A session with reporters, Roethlisberger said Canada will call plays from the booth, not on the field.
Roethlisberger made the comment in passing in talking about the “newness” of the Steelers’ offense being the reason why he’s playing this preseason.
“We’ve got a new system,” Roethlisberger said via the team website. “There’s a new coach-to-player communication in terms of a new guy. The offense is different. He’s up in the box compared to on the field.
