Some of the play calls certainly were head scratching.
The man running it is a poor fit at this point of his career. They should have let him walk for his opportunity and the long term development of the team.
I disagree man! I'm not saying Ben is not on the decline but he is not the main reason this offense is playing poorly. The play calling is exactly the same as Fitchner. The O-line is THE WORST IN THE NFL and it's not even up for debate! They are a one dimensional offense....even with a great RB in Najee Harris.
I don’t believe this is Canada’s philosophy. I think the philosophy comes square from Tomlin, as it has not changed much really since Haley was here. This leads me to believe that this is Tomlin’s preferred offense and the OC’s are simply calling the plays.
Mikey and Colbert got what they want...Fickshit 2.0
Transcript from Canada's interview:
Q1: Could you ever be a HC in the NFL? No way (Mikey wipes brow and says whew)
Q2: How can we make the running game better per the old man upstairs? What?
Q3: Its 3rd & 1 on the 40, what play do you call? Deep ball to a covered WR (Mikey clinches fist...YES!)
Q4: Its 4th down, on the 15 (don't worry we'll get you there) need two TDs, what play do you call? Behind of line screen pass to a RB without blockers
Mikey yells out YOUR HIRED!!!!

The offense is clearly meant to throw quick plays and run. They can't run because they can't block and Ben holds the ball too long.
Ben has the fastest release in the NFL.
Plus WRs really struggle to get separation....doesn't work in a quick play offense, again coaching doesn't understand their personnel
and rudy or haskins would be better? Ben is still their best option
Too unopen WRs, so your point?

Ben is a bad fit for Canada's offense. It wasn't going to work from the start, which is one of the reasons why I didn't think Canada was anywhere near the best candidate for the job. It was another safe internal hire without truly examining better options.
Gigidi
Or, it was looking ahead to a future that doesn't include #7. I mean at this point in Ben's career, are you hiring a new OC to install an offense that is tailored to Ben's skills? Or, are you hiring an OC that will begin to install his offense during Ben's last year and will do a full install when Ben retires? Not to say that Canada shouldn't be doing a better job, but this is not the same type of offense he ran at Pitt, Maryland, etc.
Offense doing nothing. Running game is garbage. Solution? More WR screens.
I would certainly hope they are doing it for the future.
Need to hire Todd Haley away from his high school coaching gig.

how about we hire an OC that can call plays that his players can actually execute and not somebody who can only call what he likes and **** it if the players don't fit?
It's not as if the steelers have no talent to work with.
Another guy who needs to be on the hot seat is the WR coach because these guys are clueless.

It's the OL folks. Burn that in your brains. Doesn't matter whatever plays after that. Can't run. So teams will stack the line and stuff the short passing game,the run and rush the qb all the time. It's a defenses dream to go against a one dimensional offense with a poor OL.

I bet anything Ben was calling the plays there.
Najee cannot do ****. By the time he gets a handoff the guy is staring down multiple defenders. The line is a mess.
Gotta give Najee credit for making something happen when he can
You ever had something happen in your life that even though you knew it was coming, it still jarred you when it did?
This is like that. It was always going to end this way, we all knew it. It still hits you though. But it has to be. They have to get bad enough to shatter some illusions and get some higher draft picks which hopefully they can find that next guy.

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe this is the offense that Ben wants to run? After all, in the offseason, Canada said that we do what Ben wants to do. Two different OC's and the same offense. At this point, it's either Ben or Tomlin wanting to run this garbage offense. Randy Fichtner is probably seized up with cramps from his ridiculous peals of laughter.
