As a Steelers fan, this is a start. But the spotlight now falls on Kenny. The missed reads and throws were not Canada’s fault.

[@stoneylonesome5826]

I think this move now is in part about finding out if they move forward with Kenny or get his replacement.

Now, hopefully we can get a guy that could save his career

[@evandetwiler2810]

​@@stoneylonesome5826yeah I definitely think that's why they did it ten games in. now they can see what kenny can do and look at the draft if they have to

[@cheezits3632]

missed reads could totally be Canada's fault, a few folks have come out to say that his plays have zero detail in them to allow a player to quickly digest what they may need to do in varying situations. So if canada was poor at teaching how to read his offense thats a him problem. PS i am not a kenny fan either way lol

[@metalanarchy5186]

Hell this is a sad but at the very least now I would like a good bridge I would love to have a guy like Brissett or someone like that I just don't want another year where we are stuck with Pickett unless he sets the league on fire this year and shows he is actually a NFL cause he hasn't shown that let a lone a franchise QB that he should be cause he was drafted in the first round

I like the move. With that being said, Good luck to Matt Canada. He probably wasn't to upset. nobody wants to be fired. But I'm sure a bunch of garbage humans were sending death threats and hate mail to his home. And that's gotta be worse than being fired. So good luck to Matt Canada again. My biggest criticism of coach T has been he's to patient and loyal. Sometimes you have to rip that band-aid off. Let's go steelers

[@loriloritony511]

Apparently he was patient and loyal cause Matt somehow got Tomlin’s son into some college. That is what I have been hearing, so apparently Tomlin owed a debt to Canada. Pretty costly one at that.

If you actually listen to the press conference, Tomlin specifically said the rb coach was in charge of coordinating the game plan and meetings, but qb coach will be in charge of play calling

[@dabaers3194]

As a Steeler fan, its nice to see a move happen. I’d like to think the Bill’s played a role in this. A team that actually scored points at any given moment firing their OC. But, also as a Steeler fan, it is worrisome Tomlin didn’t pull the trigger. I’d like to think he played a role, but who knows. Lastly, maybe most importantly,we gotta put the record aside and let Kenny do his thing. Lets try many new plays each week. Lets see what Kenny can do because we gotta figure it out and see if he *can* be the guy this season, not waiting and seeing what he can do for a full year next year.

[@damontussing4333]

Brees was also worse than Pickett in his first full season. I will say that it's not the OLines fault, it's just a poor offensive scheme mixed with a young QB. He is progressing fairly well compared to Peyton Manning and Drew Brees so we'll see what kind of QB he becomes. Kenny has MUCH more improving to do, but he has less improving to do than Manning, Brees, etc did. It is WAY too early to pass judgement (no pun intended) on KP, period.

[@Jimbo_Jumbo]

Will firing him help Kenny hit wide open 5 yard slants? 🤣

[@mrnst7]

Maybe not, but having Dlineman 5 yards deep within a half second doesn’t help either. It is amazing what a little flow on offense and some confidence can do. Either way we will be able to have a different view of Kenny by the end of the season.

[@loriloritony511]

Trabisky is as bad and maybe worse than Pickett. They are both horrible in their own special way. Might as well put Mason in and so we can honestly clean house in the QB field for next year. But I don’t trust who Tomlin would bring in. And Khan apparently had a hand in picking Kenny too. So it may be that this organization had been way too spoiled with Ben at the helm that they have no idea how or who to look for when drafting quality QB’s. I would be happy to help them be their scout.

[@wraith1117]

WOW. You mean they just might get to play in the middle of the field? They have been forgetting that part of the field so much, I almost forgot it was there too.

[@Stef140]

I never played football so somebody gotta explain to me why are we so quick to blame coaches for the poor play on the field? Wouldn't a good QB see the play unfold, see that the first option is bad and throw to another guy? What if you call the best plays ever but the QB can't make a throw and the WRs keep dropping passes?

[@mr.pick2157]

The Steelers QB is in his second year. In order for him to begin to do those things on his own he needs to develop first. He can't develop if his coach doesn't give him the means to develop. Matt Canada's playbook was stale, predictable, and didn't play into his players strengths. The QB doesn't throw it to another guy because the plays are designed to only make one receiver really with throwing to. The opposing defense doesn't need to do much work to break down the offense, and because the QB is new he doesn't have that instinct or courage to pick a different play. Football is as much about strategy as it is who has the better players. And when your strategy is garbage, you don't have the opportunity to develop good players.

[@ceeinfiniti1389]

Matt Canada's scheming was pretty much out of the late 80s-early 90s. There was next to no designed attack in the middle of the field at all which is where modern offenses love to attack. Kenny Pickett's regression this year is a valid point though. Missed reads and throws are his fault, not Matt Canada's. Time to see if he really has what it takes.

[@Kevin-4]

I mean rookie CJ Stroud is seeing the 2nd and 3rd options and throwing dimes. 2nd year guy even with bad play calling should be able to hit those guys. Sure the play calling has been rough, but still gotta make a play or two a game. 😂

I read some comments that Ben had great numbers in this system. Let’s not compare Ben in his last season of greatness to the first 2 years of Picketts career.

[@DJHogue]

Ben didn't have great numbers in this system. I know you didn't say that, but Ben's numbers were terrible compared to his previous years' numbers. . . and he was the same Ben in his last year as he was his 2nd to last year. I will say that Ben is a bit similar to Pickett in the way that they are using him early, purely as a game manager. Obviously, Pickett has struggled much more than Roethlisberger comparing their early careers, but Pickett is playing better than Peyton Manning during his first full season. Manning went 3-13 his first full season with 23 TD's and 28 picks, Pickett is 6-4 with 6TD's and 4 picks.

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

​@@DJHogueThing is. Ben has said on record they played best when he'd change the plays at the line 😂 Reason Ben had so many game winning drives (besides the fact he was always clutch)

[@IBallhoops808]

@@DJHogue Ben in his last 2 seasons had I think 55 TDs. That was with Canada as OC. Now I won’t compare Ben to Pickett but even Ben struggled with this offense. Ben was just better at changing plays. I wont put everything in Pickett but he is responsible for offense. Also, coaching plays a big role in putting offense and players in a position to be effective and successful. I coach high school basketball(girls) and it’s my job to put my players in a position to be successful regardless of skill level. Canada is trash and so vanilla in his play calling. I’m not saying KP8 is playing well and it’s all coaching but it’s a combination of things. WRs don’t really get great separation. OLine is mediocre but can be better if blocking schemes improve. Rbs have shined but not all the time. Now playing calling in itself is atrocious. So offensively it’s bad all over the field. My opinion anyways.

[@bane1240]

A move such as this by this team was made to show the players, the staff and owner are serious about wanting to fix things and have heard what the players have said. Now its up to the players to deliver. Huge pressure on KP and the rest if the offense but maybe they will rally around this. This also allows the STEELERS admn 7 games to assess whether or not they had both an OC and a QB problem or just an OC problem. Onto Cincinnati…

Naw, Tomlin is currently top 5 head coaches in the NFL and that's being crappy to Tomlin. Tomlin's winning percentage since joining the league is only behind Reid and Belichick. When it comes to post season winning, Tomlin is only behind Reid, Belichick, Carroll, and McVay. Tomlin will remain the Steelers head coach until Tomlin wants to leave, period, you might as well get used to having a top 5 coach in the NFL as your HC.
