Six games into his NFL career Kenny Pickett has had to deal with quite a bit offensively for the Pittsburgh Steelers, some of which has largely been out of his control.
That continued Wednesday thanks to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac. In his weekly Steelers chat with fans, Dulac was asked if Pickett was allowed to audible at this point in his career. Remember, former starting quarterback Mitch Trubisky dealt with the same questions and was essentially not allowed to audible.
On film, Trubisky never really checked out of plays or changed routes or protections, which lined up with the belief that he wasn’t allowed to audible or check plays.
