It seems like the state of the Pittsburgh Steelers offense falls in line with the chicken and the egg analogy. The players aren’t executing on the field to the level that they need to be successful, but the scheme by OC Matt Canada isn’t exactly doing the players any favors by working to their individual and collective strengths.
The same analogy could be applied to QB Kenny Pickett and his rough start to the 2023 season, looking like he’s regressed from the player we saw at the end of 2022 and during the preseason. Plenty of blame falls on Pickett himself and his individual play on the field to start the year, but former Steelers S Ryan Clark mentioned on Get Up this morning that the Steelers must do a better job of supporting their rattled, beat-up quarterback and help him get out of this slump.
