The Pittsburgh Steelers need to run the ball better in 2021. Under new offensive coordinator Matt Canada, there will at least will be a greater focus on doing so. Speaking with reporters on Day One of training camp, Ben Roethlisberger said Canada’s offense is much more focused on running the ball.
“It’s not even close,” Roethlisberger said via the PPG’s Gerry Dulac. “If you notice, I’m looking at the wristband quite a bit. All the quarterbacks are. New isn’t always bad, it’s just new.”
According to Dulac’s report, Roethlisberger said the percentage of “run-game formations” is much higher under Canada than it was under OC Randy Fichtner.
