Why is Matt Canada employed?

We could bring Ben in as a new OC

Just have him show up on game days, draw a few plays in the dirt for old times sake and watch what happens

Can’t be worse than Canada

Still in favor of the **** flinging monkey too as an option B if Ben is happy in retirement

Maybe Ben can be a player/coach. 🙂

No sustained drives. No third down conversions. Barely any deep throws. The Steelers should've put up 30+ today with that many turnovers. We lack talent, but it isn't that bad. Just a pathetic effort by Canada.

Those are mostly untrue statements. I broke down the +5 turnover ratio and how it related to the offense in the "Mitch Trubisky" thread.

The Steelers scored 17 points off three turnovers (7 from the pick-six), and started the other two drives on their own 8- and 23-yard line. But the running game is indeed pathetic, and Canada still doesn't seem to know how to coordinate an NFL-caliber offense. I thought we'd see Trubisky moving out of the pocket by design a whole lot more.

Plus the other possessions; not much happened regardless of how the Steelers came to possess the ball, with that one TD drive being the clear highlight. The rest was pretty dismal. Mitch didn't turn the ball over, but also made few upside plays outside of the TD drive and the last OT drive......on the upside, Harvin enjoyed a good day, with only one less than stellar punt.
 
What do they do at half time. The offense had no gitty up and go, play calls seemed dink and dunk, nothing over the middle , no change up that we did see Cincy do. Field position was not great but still no change up running on first down two yards then fighting to get to the sticks. Maybe four play all day looked new the rest was last year different QB. I do say Ben was probably saying see Colbert see Tomlin, pointing at me as the scape goat, I was not the problem. Same as Ben the QB no one wants makes plays twice to get us in position in overtime and we win.
 
It was a very conservative game plan… exactly like we do against the ravens… maybe we are going to play in our fears vs them from now on too…

Although the fear is actual cut off eye lids, we have been playing with insufficient butter on the PoPcorn. Once the word gets around about player ingestion and that the pudding cannot be put back, we will have mid field spiral view of our where-abouts come game day.

Dotson just plain sucks at this. Boggles my mind every time they call it. Dotson << Faneca

The Seahawks opening drive on MNF with Geno Smith at QB looks light years more competent than anything Matt Canada has called since he was promoted to OC.

Geno has looked pretty good all night i was pretty surprised
 
One more point on how bad Canada sucks. There was a bye after the last preseason game so this guy had 2 weeks to plan and practice this gameplan. They probably wasted a day's practice on that stupid reverse flea flicker that turned into Mitch frantically heaving one up to Freiermuth who made a play. You know what would have been a better play? Just take the snap and throw to Pat on a post.

ALl this practice time on window dressing that no defense respects one bit. When you can't run then nobody cares about the fakes. When you rarely throw downfield, defenses can crowd the box.

The steelers had a new defense so it's understandable why the Bengals had problems. The bengals have the same defense and Canada still clueless.

And let's not forget that he runs a bootleg in the absolute stupidest situation, when Mitch goes bootleg into his own endzone and nearly gets sacked for a safety. Midfield. No bootlegs. Backed up with risk of a safety, you bet!

Seattle looked like a team that spent most of their practice time working on blocking people and not on BS high school tricks.

Seattle just played their Super Bowl. Pete would have sold his soul to the Devil to beat Wilson.

Mitch made an "upside play" of 31 yards to Freiermuth to set up the Steelers with a first-and-goal at the 3. Then they proceeded to run it up the middle twice for a total of one yard, before throwing it on 3rd down when the Bengals were expecting pass.

I just wanted to refute the "They just barely won with a +5 turnover ratio" argument that has become a theme in here, by showing what actually happened after each one.

Pickens was visibly getting pissed. I couldn't tell if it was because of constant PI's not being called or the fact he was getting open but Trubisky wasn't looking his way.

Probably both. Has to be frustrating knowing you’re getting open and can make difference and your qb has time to throw
 
What exactly changed from last year's play calling to this years........................... not a lot.

I've said O'Canada should have been fired mid season last year, and unless he can show something soon he should be canned mid season this year as well.

I know that would never happen but just curious as to what some here think in the comparison of O'Canada VS Sherman as OCs, best / worse ?

It is obvious that Canada has no creativity as an offensive coordinator. On the goal line straight into the middle of the pile everytime. No creativity at all and it is hard to watch. Burrow used his legs to gain some good yardage Trubisky seemed stuck in the backfield. No rollouts even an option possibly could have worked but he just seems to call the same type of plays over and over. Vanilla vanilla vanilla. As for the short quick passes I am not against those at all they are very effective and open up a deep pass but we didn't run any it seemed. As for Pickett vs Trubisky im on the Pickett train all the way. I think he sees the field better and throws a better more catchable ball than Trubisky. Still need an Offensive Line but that is a whole other topic!

I think Pickett needs to show us he can throw the ball down field with velocity. Until he proves this on an NFL level his check down passing will fit right in with Canada's offense.
