Pickett has the power.

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to struggle offensively under maligned offensive coordinator Matt Canada, finding themselves at the bottom of the NFL in just about every category.
Second year quarterback was able to help them to a win in Week 2, but that hasn’t stopped the outcry against how the offense has operated as a whole.
But according to Canada, Pickett has the power to change plays and to “do things”.
“Kenny’s got quite a bit of freedom to do things and get us where he wants to go,” Canada said. “You know, Kenny’s been very involved in the offense and what we’re doing, but at no point has this fallen on Kenny. It falls on all of us and we, as a staff, we’ve gotta put him in a position to make plays. We’ve got to make him feel good about the plays and making plays. We have to get players around him that help him make plays.”
Canada also implied that fans could expect to see more play action schemes for Pickett.
”I don’t think it’s a crutch but I think play action is something, you know as you get the run game going more and more, it becomes effective,” Canada said. “That’s something that becomes more and more of a real situation. So, that was a play that we had a chance to get off and run. Kenny read it out perfectly to get it to get from Pat to GP, GP made the run, so there’s some things there. I don’t think our protection was bad on some of those play actions and we took some shots. I mentioned the corners are pretty good. We’ll do everything we can to move the football and get us an offense that’s balanced and doing the things we want to do. We’ve got to get there. We need to get to that point.”
