The Pittsburgh Steelers have had the football for 57 offensive drives in 2022. 13 of those drives made it to the red zone. Of those 13, all six offensive touchdowns were scored. So in 57 opportunities to score this season, the Steelers have succeeded six times. Those numbers would be enough to get any offensive coordinator fired. Except for Matt Canada.
Canada has some sort of power over the Steelers and it seems no matter how bad the offense is, he finds a way to downplay things and make the situation seem less dire than it is. Like on Thursday when he said the team needs to do “a little bit better” when it comes to finishing drives.
A little bit? Just a little bit? This offense is 24-for-66 on third down. There hasn’t been a receiving touchdown yet by a wide receiver. This team averages 1.21 points per drive on the season. How about we shoot for more than just a little bit better?
I asked Matt Canada about the need to finish drives, and Pickett mentioning the tweaks that need to be made: "As always, I'm not going to get into all those things. We just have to be a little bit better. This is a bottom-line business and we didn't score when we got down there."
