An in-depth look at Matt Canada’s use of pre-snap shifts and motions

We’ve talked a lot about Matt Canada’s offense since he was hired by the Steelers over a year ago. We got to see some of his influence in 2020, although almost entirely limited to the early season run game.

With Randy Fichtner gone, and Matt Canada now the offensive coordinator, I want to start looking at some plays Canada ran in college. The goal is to look at the mentality and concepts he uses, and to get a better idea of what we can expect to see in the Steelers offense in 2021.

To start, I want to take a look at an example of Matt Canada using pre-snap motion, often moving multiple players to completely change the formation.
