Pittsburgh Steelers Promote Eddie Faulkner as Offensive Coordinator: How Can He Unlock Kenny Pickett and Jumpstart the Offense?
Key points:
- Steelers fire offensive coordinator Matt Canada and promote Eddie Faulkner to take over as offensive coordinator
- Kenny Pickett's struggles and the need to improve the Pittsburgh offense
- Three key changes new OC must make to unlock Kenny Pickett and jumpstart the Pittsburgh offense
Steelers fire offensive coordinator Matt Canada after struggles with their offense. The team’s offense failed to gain 400-plus yards in a game under Canada, and the lowest pass touchdown rate by quarterback Kenny Pickett is one of the many concerns. With new OC Eddie Faulkner and play-caller Mike Sullivan, the team should focus on utilizing running back Jaylen Warren, allowing Pickett to be more aggressive, and targeting receivers George Pickens and Diontae Johnson downfield to unlock their offense.
