Steelers love Kenny Pickett, but will they open up the offense? Matt Canada says no

New York Times  

PITTSBURGH — Over the past four weeks of OTAs and minicamps, pretty much everybody on the offensive side of the ball spoke glowingly of Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett’s development after his first full offseason in the program. The plan was put together by the owner, head coach and general manager and handed to the maligned offensive coordinator with simple instructions: “Have at it.” The usually tight-lipped Canada, who is in the final year of his contract and likely has to exceed expectations to keep his job, made it clear that how the Steelers want to play this year — and possibly into the foreseeable future — isn’t his doing. GO DEEPER Kaboly: The Steelers nailed the draft, which means OC Matt Canada has no more excuses “There is an identity that is coming from the organizational plan, right?” Canada said. GO DEEPER To Andy Weidl and the Steelers, size matters: 'We want to be able to impose our will' “I think our identity was pretty clear the last nine games,” Canada said. I think our identity is well known, and we’ll stay where we’re at.” Canada did add: “When I say we are going to run the ball, it doesn’t mean we’re going to run it every play.” The Steelers rushed for more than 100 yards in nine of their final 10 games in 2022.
