Point Park University Friday Insider: Don't be blaming Canada this time ... Suwinski's not leaving ... Karlsson's respect reciprocated

TAMPA, Fla. -- The only thing that's certain about the Steelers' offense entering their preseason opener here tonight against the Buccaneers is that it'll be Kenny Pickett's offense.

Yes, in that way, too.

Look, I've hardly been some staunch supporter of Matt Canada's work over his two years here. I've openly called for his firing more than once, and that's never done lightly. But everything I've heard through the summer and seen in the ongoing training camp strongly suggests that there'll be almost -- that's almost -- nowhere to run or hide for any of the players, chiefly Pickett himself, in things were to go awry:

• Pickett's acknowledged that he's been in the room with Canada, Glenn Thomas and Mike Sullivan as plays were being either designed or adjusted to his preferences.
