The intriguing addition of Matt Canada, and what it could mean for the Steelers’ offense

I’ve been writing recently on how the Steelers might improve their struggling run game (links to that series are here). For the final installment, I had planned to focus on how the return of Ben Roethlisberger could help. But then, on Wednesday, the team announced they had hired former college coordinator Matt Canada as their new quarterbacks coach. Given Canada’s background, the specifics of his offense and his association with several current Steelers’ players and coaches, this hire has me intrigued. So, rather than focus on the return of Big Ben, I’m going to look at how the addition of Canada might affect the offense in general.
