Mike Tomlin recognizes that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense needs to improve after its struggles through the first two games of the season. However, he also said there will be no change to the OC.
Steelers fans have been calling for Matt Canada to be fired for awhile now. The Steelers are the only offense to not have a 400+ yard offensive game under Canada. The second lowest in the NFL has done it at least 3 times in that span.
During a press conference, Tomlin talked about the offense. “Offensively, we have to get our mojo back. … We lost that, to be blunt, in the last couple weeks,” Tomlin said. “We’re not going to have knee-jerk reactions and make wholesale changes.”
The offense has just scored two touchdowns through the season so far. The defense has two touchdowns of their own as well through this stretch. The offense just needs to be better in general, and that’s why so many fans are upset with Canada.
The Steelers are now 1-1 with the win after last night. If the offense continues to struggle, it will only get louder. Tomlin has proven he is a loyal guy, and I love that. However, in this situation, it might be time to begin to look elsewhere. This time with the Steelers has been Matt Canada’s first NFL job. While he hasn’t done a horrible job, there is definitely room for improvement.
The Steelers offense have recorded just 15 first downs over the first two games. This is the lowest mark in the NFL. They also rank 31st in total yardage and rushing, the second lowest in the NFL. Pickett has struggled, with a stat line of two touchdowns and three interceptions on a 60.5 completion percentage.
