How Canada will help Steelers’ north-south game

Matt Canada might be the new quarterbacks coach for the Steelers this season, but his biggest effect just might come on the team's running game.

Canada was hired to work with third-year quarterback Mason Rudolph and either Devlin Hodges or Paxton Lynch, depending on which one wins the No. 3 job behind Ben Roethlisberger. Randy Fichtner, who also served as the quarterbacks coach in 2018 and 2019, remains the offensive coordinator, overseeing the installation of the scheme and calling plays on game days. But he also gets input from his entire offensive staff when building that game plan and installing the scheme.
