Continuity Between Matt Canada And Kenny Pickett “Significant” Heading Into Year 2, Tomlin Says

Much to the dismay of many fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team decided to retain offensive coordinator Matt Canada for 2023. Though the offense showed promising signs in the second half of the 2022 season, particularly in the run game, the two years Canada has spent as offensive coordinator has left plenty to be desired given the team’s talent. According to the team’s owner Art Rooney back in late January, the team wanted to have a sense of continuity for 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett.

On Sunday, head coach Mike Tomlin backed this sentiment, as he told reporters, including Brooke Pryor of ESPN, that the continuity of Canada and Pickett could be “significant” in 2023.
