The pairing of 18-year quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and first-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada always looked like an odd pairing on paper.
There were certainly some bumps and bruises along the way with the pairing as the offense was very inconsistent and looked like it was misfiring far too often throughout the season. Behind the scenes though, backup quarterbacks Dwayne Haskins and Mason Rudolph, who both spoke to the media on Wednesday, credited Canada and Roethlisberger for working together and meshing the concepts that each liked and brought to the table, resulting in the offense that was on display throughout the 2021 season.
