Ben Roethlisberger Defends Steelers’ Matt Canada....

and Calls Out Fans For Unjustified Treatment Of His OC

“I thought Matt [Canada] did great,” Roethlisberger replied to T’eo. “People talk about him, get rid of him, this, that, and the other. 7-2 down the stretch, found a way. I know they are not putting up 40-50 points, but they also wanted Randy Fichtner run out of here after we were putting up 30-some points a game and throwing the ball too much. Now we are running the ball a lot and they want to throw the ball and put up points.”

Luckily his take will have little to nothing to do with the decision to keep or fire Canada.

 

The Steelers should keep Canada. Says he did a great job

You’re late bro
Lol

 

Story of my life

 

My bet is there is no decision to be made. The Steelers plan on keeping him.

 

Pouncey and Ben called out the fans during one of his podcasts a few weeks ago as well. They basically called the fans idiots for blaming coaches

 

Thanks for posting that. Canada is staying.

 

We just got a new desktop with a much bigger screen then our old one and when I clicked on link I was hit with a lot of black and gold

 

Ask roethlisberger and pouncey

 

someone should ask Ben if he would like to defend Todd Haley too

 

They know a bit about football

 

I agree with that. I expect him to be back. I don't think they want to throw another coordinator at Kenny. IF they do, it's going to be Sullivan IMO. So not really much change if that happened. One thing is for sure - that college nonsense play with Najee jumping the pile into the end zone needs to be thrown out.

 

I don’t think you need to think that hard about it. Despite the claims from the masses about play calling the vast majority of our issues have been execution. Early in the season the execution problems were multiple as the season progressed and our very young offense congealed those issues largely disappeared

 

That’s true. However, fans calling for a coach’s or coordinator’s head isn’t exactly new and usually unfounded.

 

Hey Ben

In Randy’s last season you/he never put up 30 points in a game

 

And neither of them were ever known for their mental capacity

So….

 

I’m sure it’s a combination of figuring out the strengths of your team and calling plays to best utilize those strengths, as well as execution of those plays. But also keep in mind, it wasn’t just fans dumping on Canada, there were also former players commenting on the lack of variety and imagination in his play calling.

 

Yet they still know a thing or two about football. I’ve got zero interest in their financial advice and certainly wouldn’t seek out ben when it comes to women, but football I’m listening

 

I really don’t understand why teams even have coaches. Players play and nothing else matters. These teams should save some coin.

 

I know, but if your players are struggling with addition you don’t throw trig at them

 

Only for the first 10 games! They were close at 30 points per game in the first 10 games....same for 2018.It was a collapse after that especially in 2020!
