Matt Canada is now out as the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator, and now the pressure is on QB Kenny Pickett to prove that he can be the Steelers franchise guy. Former NFL center and head coach Jeff Saturday, now an analyst for ESPN, said that the firing of Canada is going to make a difference if only because it now puts the onus on Pickett to understand that he’s playing for his job.
“It’s going to make a difference for Kenny Pickett because it’s going to put a spark in understanding, ‘hey, I’m playing for my job.’ You just saw one dude take the fall, he’s gone, and at this point, it’s all on you,” Saturday said.
