Matt Canada needs to go

The Pittsburgh Steelers were on a four-game losing streak until the Steelers won against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Steelers offensive coordinator is at blame for this. Canada calls predictable plays that the other team’s defense reads and makes outmaneuvers.

For example, in the Bills game on October 9, Canada called a play where three wide receivers go to the sideline and the running back is set back to the right of the quarterback, the Bills defense read this play multiple times. The Steelers tried this play seven times, almost all of them on first down, which forced the Steelers to make tough plays and to punt it. Another example, would be when Canada calls a play when he sends the wide receivers on deep routes and he sends the running back on a check down route. This also forces the quarter back to throw a check down because the wide receivers are not open down field.

The Steelers need to revamp their coaching staff. They need to fire Canada. Some offensive coordinators that could replace Canada include Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Sullivan, and Brian Flores.
