Putting Matt Canada’s “Do what Ben wants to do” comments in context

On Tuesday morning, Steelers new offensive coordinator Matt Canada spoke with the media in a zoom press conference. While Canada spoke about a number of things about the Steelers offense for 2021, one particular quote stands out more than others.

“We are going to do what Ben wants to do and how Ben wants to do it.”

When Steelers fans hear this, nightmares of the end of the 2020 season start to creep back into their minds. With former offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner having a reputation of being “Ben’s guy” and Roethlisberger actually being more of the offensive coordinator, there is a fear that Canada might just allow more of the same.
