How Matt Canada’s move to the sideline gave the Steelers a spark vs. the Titans

PITTSBURGH — It worked for Mike Tomlin about six years ago, so why not give it another try? Tomlin made the decision earlier in the week to bring maligned offensive coordinator Matt Canada from the booth to the field to join quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan, in hopes that five heads — Canada, Sullivan, Pickett and backups Trubisky and Mason Rudolph — would be better than one. “We communicate really well with the headset, no one else really gets the chance to do that,” Pickett said after the Steelers’ 20-16 victory, in which he threw the game-winning touchdown to cap a 92-yard drive with 4:02 to play. “So I think him being able to go over to each position group and kind of get on the same page with them and let them know what we’re thinking going into each drive, I think that definitely was a positive.” “We had more interactions, just coming to the bench, talking to us, keeping us up, trying to see what we see,” Calvin Austin III said. “It’s much easier to talk when you’re on the field and you can get more of a feel of your players and the flow of the game.” Kenny Pickett on Matt Canada on sidelines pic.twitter.com/HBKXPo3Z8G — Mark Kaboly November 3, 2023 “We are making moves with the intention of being better,” Tomlin added.
