How could the Pittsburgh Steelers possibly make the Matt Canada situation any worse? Double down on his duties and add working more closely with quarterback Kenny Pickett on the daily. It makes sense, right? No, I didn’t think so.
Steelers Nation took to X to vent their frustrations.
Actual footage of Kenny Pickett upon hearing The Steelers are going to ask Matt Canada to work even closer with him. #HereWeGo
(how the hell can he work any closer with the QB than he already is as the OC is beyond me) pic.twitter.com/DSjOfszq9w

@steelers moving Matt Canada to work closely with Kenny Pickett is not going to make his dumbass call the right play….. WTF are y'all doing???? #FireMattCanada #HereWeGo

How is giving OC Matt Canada a bigger role going to help the Steelers Offense and QB Kenny Pickett? Canada is a disaster and will be no matter the role he is engaged in.

Steelers fans are going to blame Matt Canada for Kenny Pickett struggling even more now.

I don't play nor work for the team. I don't know what is going on in the Steelers front office.
That said, I'm expecting Kenny Pickett jet sweeps if he's working closer with Matt Canada. Maybe it'll go great. Maybe it'll be ass cheeks.

Matt Canada and Kenny Pickett are joint at the hip question is can Kenny Pickett execute a junior varsity offensive scheme
— Guru Burner (@Omar2Fo) September 24, 2023
Funny because the exact opposite is what needs to happen. They need to distance Matt Canada from Kenny Pickett as much as they can.

Maybe the Steelers announcement of Matt Canada working with Kenny Pickett on a daily basis is backwards.
Maybe Pickett will be helping Matt Canada with the gameplan and playcalling.

It’s inexcusable how poor the Steelers offense is and for Matt Canada to be even more directly involved with Kenny Pickett (was he not already?!) is appalling

I have a theory that whatever this Matt Canada “news” is was leaked to take the pressure off Kenny Pickett.
If it gets worse before it gets better, it’s all on Canada.
Scape goat. Protect your QB. #Steelers

If Matt Canada wasn't working directly with Kenny Pickett before today, I'm not exactly sure what he was doing, then. But if Kenny continues to struggle and the offense continues to look pathetic, he should be fired and Tomlin should be in hot water for allowing this to happen.
