It's no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers offense has been struggling with Matt Canada as offensive coordinator. Despite this, the team decided to retain him over the objections of fans and media for this season.
And one particular former member of the Steelers that decision did not sit well with is Merril Hoge, who blasted the offense as a whole.
“You got people jogging on your routes and they’re late, okay?” Hoge said. “So that has an effect on your quarterback. I’m telling you, I see nobody with a sense of urgency on the perimeter. When they go run routes, I’m like oh my gosh, this is terrible. This is not pro football. These are not pro players when they run routes like that.”
“You’ve got guys drifting into routes,” Hoge said. “I’ve never seen a drifter. Where a guy is going to hitch at 10 yards and he starts backpedaling at five and drifting to ten. I’m like, ‘what is that?'”
The Steelers are going to be attempting to start 2-1 later today when they take on the Las Vegas Raiders from Sin City. Can the offense put together a solid performance to slightly quell the criticisms, or will it be the same story when it's all said and done later today?
