I’ve personally called for Matt Canada’s head, but now that he’s been fired, the timing feels strange. What is the upside?
I would’ve understood and was 100% behind firing Canada a month ago when Ask Madden would be less predictable, but I’m hesitant after he’s made adjustments and has called better games these past few weeks. Not great, but there was noticeable improvement. What hasn’t improved is Kenny Pickett, who has regressed tremendously. Some of that is probably injury, some might be caused by the scheme, but you have to acknowledge Kenny might not the guy.
Last weekend, the Steelers averaged 6.6 yards per carry and rushed for 170 yards. They scored 10 points and Kenny only managed ~70 through the air. Some of that’s the drops, but Kenny was also inaccurate and lacked awareness.
Unless the next man up is a QB whisperer who can fix Pickett, where do we go from here?
