As one of the most maligned coaches in the National Football League today, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada has had to face the music from fans and pundits for quite some time now as the team continues to struggle to put points on the board.
However, he fired back at CBS for misconstruing his words.
"They're not quite built to come back from big leads - the way they start games is critical," the broadcast team claimed Canada said.
Canada would then respond by saying the following:
"The conversation was why we ran more runs and play action against the Raiders than the opening game (against 49ers)," Canada said. "Why was that, as you look at a stat sheet, why did it look that way?
You are not going to stick to your running plan and the plan of running play-action when you are down three scores. All we care about here is winning, the conversation was at this point, the plan wasn’t built to do that. We still believe we were going to win, but we kept throwing it, we had to.
"At no point was that conversation meant in that regard. I certainly believe he knew that, it was taken wrong if not. Of all the things we want to talk about, at no point do I doubt our players. Doubt where we are. Doubt we could come back, no doubts."
Canada and the Steelers will host the Baltimore Ravens at home tomorrow. Can Pittsburgh pick up a much needed win, or will the struggles continue?
