Mitch Trubisky’s admission that players in the huddle are suggesting different plays and have to be reminded “to continue to buy into the plan” would appear to be an indication that frustration with Matt Canada’s offense doesn’t just exist with the fan base.
For the second game in a row, the Steelers offense has looked painfully familiar like the one that lulled everyone to sleep until the fourth quarter last season. The difference then is that Ben Roethlisberger would take over the offense and orchestrate seven game-winning drives in nine of the victories.
Otherwise, it’s the same. Short passes. Failing to attack downfield. Check-downs to Najee Harris, who was targeted twice as many times as rookie George Pickens in the 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.
