Normally, as a defence, one of the basic tenets is that you try and limit big gains to force the offense to be flawless across much more short plays. It's wild that an NFL OC decided to do that for the defense already.
Literally watched the Patriots do this dozens and dozens of times during the "Brady era" when they had a "good enough" defense that when paired with their offense automatically won at least 65-70% of their games...just by doing that.
@@joelhague5515 yeah, it’s so easy right? Just get the greatest QB of all time, pair him with one of the best defensive minds in football, just create a dynasty in 2 different decades, and do it all during the salary cap era. It’s so easy

What's so weird about them not using motion is that when he was a college OC, his offenses used a ton of pre-snap motion. A lot of this was to help James Connor and the run game, but it's weird how he's seemingly abandoned it in the NFL
Canada actually uses motion on earlier downs. The problem is all that goes away in key 3rd and mid/long passing downs where having your speedster move and which defensive players shadow him can give a tell on what the defense could be sitting on post snap.
*The pre-snap movements that Canada did in college even got McVay & Shannanhan attention. Problem is they took his stuff and trumped it to a whole other level I guess. Canada would use a “multiplayer Shift” followed by another player going into Jet or Orbit Motion all in one play. Idk if it’s a “Timing thing” like the NFL play clock, or maybe the terminology being too much for the QB or players to grasp and still have time for the QB to look at the Defense, and snap the ball. I have zero clue. Or maybe it’s Tomlin just taking it out of the offense b/c we did see the “Tackle Over” stuff with the TE and Tackle then go in Motion or Shift, early in the Canada reign. Not so much anymore. I just think this is the KEY to unlocking NFL Offenses and using multiple personnel to play the position-less football and take advantage of matchups*
As a Browns fan, I think Matt, Canada is doing an excellent job and is the best offense I've ever seen the Steelers put out. Hopefully, this leads to the Steelers extending Canada
I'm a Steelers fan and "The Steelers Offense Will Make You Hate Football." is putting it lightly. I'm hoping for the Kollmann Curse to outdo Canada's ineptitude. Also I 100% agree with you that it's impossible to gauge how good Pickett is until Canada is gone.
Agreed. I will say that we don't have a ton of encouraging signs from the guy, but I'm willing to defer judgement until there is competence around him.

Glad to know me screaming, “fire Matt Canada into the sun!” on game day is completely justified.

As being a diehard Steelers fan, I appreciate this video from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been praying for change for the last two years and have been too to many bad games over that span hoping and praying. I’ll be in attendance for the Thursday night game tomorrow so hopefully it’s a good one.
Canada and Joe Lombardi pass each other before the game one time to talk about the good old days of running the ball hard on early downs and how amazing hook/curl routes are especially if they don't go beyond the sticks. Canada says his favorite is doing a screen pass 7 yards behind the LoS on those third and medium passing downs and Lombardi got teary eyed hearing all that.
I feel very bad for Najee Harris, every run is incredibly predictable at both a personnel and lineup level Najee and Warren get absolutely smashed behind the line. When combined with below par Run Blocking line they both are getting such a bad wrap by both the fantasy community and the general football fanbase when in reality these people spewing hatred and venom comparing him to Trent Richardson just don’t have the knowledge about the offense. Shout out Najee while he does make some boneheaded plays where he thinks he’s Warren speed and can bounce outside he is actually a good runningback. The results and team around him just aren’t there.
Agreed everytime i see najee draw from shotgun I want to punch my tv. Jaylen has shown more explosiveness but overall Canada schemes are terribile for RBs

Five weeks after this video was posted and three NFL weeks after Canada's firing - Nothing this video addressed has been answered. I don't think I saw a SINGLE play action pass in our loss to the PATRIOTS, motion has still been minimal, and the predictability is still ridiculous. I genuinely think Matt Canada's spirit just transfered to the interim.
Apparently the Steelers are now moving on from Matt Canada, meaning he's getting fired. Can't help but notice the timing on this video from Brett two weeks ago...
Not only is Matt Canada's offense going to put up 400 yards of offense this Thursday because of this video, but the Kollmann curse is so powerful that the Steelers are going for 500
Nope Canada is so bad if we win it's TJ being the best defense of player alive..... and maybe special teams actually doing something our Offensive outside of one game can't score more than 10 points.
lmao my favorite thing about Canada is that Ed Orgeron was smart enough to chuch this guy out halfway through the year but Mike Tomlin, future hall of fame and Super Bowl champion head coach, is still banging his head against the wall.
As a Steelers fan the offense is maddening to watch. You can tell watching it that the opposing defense knows what is coming because they make no movements once the offense breaks the huddle. Any decent OC would see that and make changes. And honestly no one really says it, but Tomlin deserves a chunk of the blame that no one seems to give him. He's obviously a defensive coach, he still is in the mind set of a defense can win every game. You can't do that in this league anymore. And he doesn't have an offensive mindset to really see through changes on that side of the ball. Or even do anything on the sideline. If you see him he's the only coach without a tablet or call sheet in his hand. You can't coach like anymore.
You couldn’t wait to upload this until after Thursday? Thanks, Brett, for killing my hopes and dreams. The curse is gonna have Canada coaching a 65 point blowout against my Titans.
My favorite was in the game against us, they never called play action on first down, and the one time they did it, it was with 1:58 left in the game with the Jags up by 10 and the Steelers having no timeouts and the ball at their own 2-yard line
I believe that was also the same game where Canada somehow got gifted a 1st and 5. His play after that was to run the ball. The only other goofball OC who matched that tenacity to run on that situation Byron Leftwich when the Bucs were gifted a 1st and 2 (off a penalty). His similar response was also to run the ball.
for those who missed it, there was a “fire canada” chant at the pittsburgh penguins home opener. needless to say, yinzers are pissed and many a canadian hockey fan needed to be assured the crowd wasn’t talking about them
Could you eventually do a video on HOW coordinators and coaches who are clearly either out of their depth, past their time, or otherwise overtly incompetent manage to routinely be hired and kept? There's all sorts of Matt Canada's floating around that no one seems to understand how they stay employed in one of the most cutthroat jobs available.
Much of it is on the HC primarily who maintains their own staff. If not them it goes to the FO depending on the structure of how the staff is retained. HC Dennis Allen is a funny one because as a DC he's tremendous with what results he can get on defense. As a HC he's certainly not great and he's not doing himself favors keeping Pete Carmichael around to manage his offense.
They are 4-3 with one of the worst offenses of all time. Tomlin runs the defense and has never claimed to be an offensive genius. Canada is trash, but Tomlin for 3 years miraculously finding ways to keep the Steelers in the playoff picture despite historically bad offense should be commended
I was just at the Wigle distillery in the Strip District Sunday before that abysmal Jags game. I can vouch for both the quality and its ability to mask the Steelers' ineptitude!
I remember in the late 2000's and early 2010's, when my Ravens had Cam Cameron's dreaded "RRIP" offensive scheme (Run-Run-Incomplete-Punt). Man, it's a punishment to watch a consistently unimaginative and predictable offense week after week...
In nearly every play your showed there was a receiver on a route to the middle of the field. They are in the progressions. Nothing is stopping KP from throwing to the middle or down the numbers.
Correct you said he has progressions do you know his progressions? Most times you don’t get time to get to your 3rd 4th read. Ben also didn’t use middle of field with Canada. And can’t use arm strength bc throws to MOF are shorter then outside of numbers
The one thing I was surprised you didn’t touch on was when Canada first came into the Stillers employ, he ran a a college-style offense with frequent motion often times up to four receivers. I remember comments from announcers/pundits/TVanalysts that Stillers needed to slow down the offense pre-snap movements for old Ben and Ben wasn’t liking the plays (reasons). I thought some OG Cowher smash mouth football and Todd Haley ‘wizardry’ drove me crazy but this is FUBAR-cake right here boyo.
As an LSU fan, I have no idea why he ever got a job anywhere else. We had historically great offenses after he left, but were notoriously defense-heavy while he was there.
I think it’s funny how you point out how all the best offenses in the league all use motion at the snap, and how the Steelers don’t. I remember when Canada was promoted to OC, motion was his style, that he was going to bring motion into the offense. Most, if not all, of his motions are done presnap and they settle before snapping allowing the defenses to adjust and not have to adjust on the fly like you pointed out. Canadas offense IS ancient. I’m not sure this offense would even work at the high school level. Maybe peewee.
The mainstream media needs to see this video, since they quite obviously have not even watched the Steelers games this season, or are incapable of understanding what they are seeing. They keep on publishing articles that crap all over Steelers fans as if we are sheep herded by "high expectation frustration" and "crowd rage". No, media sleuths, try because Steeler Nation are the most savvy fanbase in all of sports, and we KNOW WHAT WE ARE WATCHING. Thank you for this video that sums it all up, even for the blind and hard of hearing, Sir!
I know Pickett has not looked great this year, but not for lack of trying. In the 4th, he’s just different and I have to believe it’s because he’s decided that the OC has called a bad game and just gets mad and balls out. I also believe the predictability of the offense has held Najee back from his full potential The last two years. I don’t think Najee is the next AP, but he’s damn sure better than what this offense has given him. Canada needs to go, and maybe even Tomlin at this point. That’s more of a stretch but he can’t see the forest through the trees it seems right now.
Thank you for this, one thing you should have mentioned is Tomlin's insane defense of Canada in addition to his philosophy that the defense needs to win the games. Worked in the 2000s but you need an above average offense in todays league to win now. TJ and Minkah are generational players that will ultimately be wasted until there is change.
Never seen a situation where a COORDINATOR is doing a fantastic job sabotaging a team, fans are literally singing for him to be fired during games, and the organization does nothing. What dirt does this guy have?!?
Been waiting on this episode since you mentioned it in the last video. As a film buff and football guy, it feels great to hear someone else confirm everything I’ve been seeing for years. It makes me sick that we have 3 All Pro’s on defense and we’ve had a junior high offense for the last 5 seasons. They need to play this on the Jumbotron at tonight’s game. Maybe Mike T will take notes 📝
I don't think you even mentioned how braindead the insistence that Canada and the o-line coach are in terms of schematics as well. The tired zone blocking scheme they employ doesn't play to any of the linemens strengths and is a big reason for the poor 1st and 2nd down runs as Warren and Harris have to make something out of nothing. Isaac Seumalo has somehow gone from one of the best offensive linemen in the league to one of the worst and Mason Cole has gone from a solid above average piece to one of the worst linemen in the league. It gives me a headache watching these guys not being played to their strengths which just makes Canada's incompetence shine a little bit more
Good job covering this. As a Steelers fan, it is spot on. This team has been stale and outdated for many years and nothing will change as long as they can keep hovering around .500. It is beyond pathetic and a waste of time.
@@mytwosense9135The backups play better against us than Lamar does honestly. I'm more worried goingninto Sunday against the Ravens if Lamar is hurt than if he is playing.
Steelers fan here. To all you fans of other teams, consider yourself lucky. Having to watch the Steelers offense is a lot like the Ludovico Technique from A Clockwork Orange. You feel sick, you're screaming for the torture to stop, but you just can't look away.
It’s refreshing to see someone not pile on Pickett. Sophomore slumps are normal esp for a QB that has to essentially kill himself just to win games. How normal is it to expect your second year QB to play perfect football while always facing 3rd and long? His coordinator and line have done nothing to help him adjust to game speed.
I put this on Mike T. He absolutely is telling his offensive staff that the teams priority is to create consistent positive yardage, control possession and limit turnovers (Rex Ryan ball) don’t let the QB mess it up. The problem is that this is 2023 not 2010.
Hey, I'm an Iowa Hawkeyes fan, so I understand your pain. I think our Offense is literally last in the BCS and our defense top five. Excruciating to watch!!
By far the best analysis of the Steelers I’ve seen out of all the channels I follow. Thank you sir! Great vid, well not great because it points out how bad the Steelers are but you get what I mean
Can you do a video on active playcalling for defense ? How DCs adapat (or not) during a match, good vs bad DCs, etc ? We talk a lot about utilizing personnel well on offense, what about using talents on defense ?
I'm a JV and low level varsity football official. In evenly matched games, I see the motion trick, midfield throws, and (at least efforts at) that first down explosiveness. In junior varsity in Iowa. Hell, if the steelers dropped a few more passes a game, they could almost be one of my local middle school teams.
Here after watching the game. After the first couple of drives I thought the Kollman Curse had struck again. Then Canada fell back into his old habits with static pre snap positions, throwing almost exclusively short to medium balls outside the numbers and running on 2nd/3rd and long.
Brett love your videos, been watching for a long time and I learned so much about football from you. I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on why the bills offense is so inconsistent? Sometimes they murder teams, sometimes they can barely scratch out a touchdown, I’m just curious what you may see in the film. Keep up the good work!
I love this channel and channels that teach me about sports in general. One of the great things about TH-cam is that it allows for sports content like this to exist. Keep up the good work!
I can't even watch anymore. I think the worst part is thinking about our players and how dispiriting it must be to be part of this weekly exercise in futility. Trying to remain invested in the team, doing your best, acting like (because you have to) what you do as a player matters....so soul-crushing.
I was watching the game against jacksonville with our neighbors this last week and we were cheering for CHECKDOWNS. Like, moving the ball forwards was our bar. It’s not high.

He's obviously a defensive coach, he still is in the mind set of a defense can win every game. You can't do that in this league anymore. And he doesn't have an offensive mindset to really see through changes on that side of the ball. Or even do anything on the sideline. If you see him he's the only coach without a tablet or call sheet in his hand. You can't coach like anymore.
You couldn’t wait to upload this until after Thursday? Thanks, Brett, for killing my hopes and dreams. The curse is gonna have Canada coaching a 65 point blowout against my Titans.
Leaving this comment for after Thursday night haha
ikr. matt canada is gonna choose thursday to start doing the complete opposite of whats on film 😂😂😂
The last time the Steelers played the Titans at home on a Thursday, they scored 52 points. Could it happen again?
My favorite was in the game against us, they never called play action on first down, and the one time they did it, it was with 1:58 left in the game with the Jags up by 10 and the Steelers having no timeouts and the ball at their own 2-yard line
I believe that was also the same game where Canada somehow got gifted a 1st and 5. His play after that was to run the ball. The only other goofball OC who matched that tenacity to run on that situation Byron Leftwich when the Bucs were gifted a 1st and 2 (off a penalty). His similar response was also to run the ball.
for those who missed it, there was a “fire canada” chant at the pittsburgh penguins home opener. needless to say, yinzers are pissed and many a canadian hockey fan needed to be assured the crowd wasn’t talking about them
I'd love to see a breakdown of the Falcons, specifically how little it feels like Arthur Smith uses his top 10 picks
I am a falcons fan and I don't understand why they can't run the ball this year even though they have the same oline as last year pretty much.
@@zoe2020-is7sc oh same here, it's so frustrating
It seems like the Steelers are trying to manufacture passing yards with cheap one read throws. Canada has the philosophy of a High School OC.
Could you eventually do a video on HOW coordinators and coaches who are clearly either out of their depth, past their time, or otherwise overtly incompetent manage to routinely be hired and kept? There's all sorts of Matt Canada's floating around that no one seems to understand how they stay employed in one of the most cutthroat jobs available.
There isn’t a lot of Matt Canadas out there he is as bad as it gets
Canada himself is solely employed because "muh Stiller way" and no coordinator will ever be "fired." Contracts just "aren't renewed"
@@HOWTOLIFEEE "Sad Bill O'Brien noises"
Much of it is on the HC primarily who maintains their own staff. If not them it goes to the FO depending on the structure of how the staff is retained. HC Dennis Allen is a funny one because as a DC he's tremendous with what results he can get on defense. As a HC he's certainly not great and he's not doing himself favors keeping Pete Carmichael around to manage his offense.
@@HOWTOLIFEEE Let me introduce to you Luke Getsy
Bro, I'm enraged at what Rooney and Tomlin have let this team become
They are 4-3 with one of the worst offenses of all time. Tomlin runs the defense and has never claimed to be an offensive genius. Canada is trash, but Tomlin for 3 years miraculously finding ways to keep the Steelers in the playoff picture despite historically bad offense should be commended
@@protectdavidchasetaylor2144he’s the HEAD coach it’s HIS staff
@@protectdavidchasetaylor2144Mediocrity should not be commended.
I am with you bro. I dont want to watch anymore. I've been a steelers fan since79. Tomlin needs to go since he can't make competent decisions.
Tomlin is the main issue.
Most of us do not applaud Tomlin’s mediocrity (at best).
I was just at the Wigle distillery in the Strip District Sunday before that abysmal Jags game. I can vouch for both the quality and its ability to mask the Steelers' ineptitude!
Watching Kenny picket just say f- it he’s down there somewhere is amazing
I remember in the late 2000's and early 2010's, when my Ravens had Cam Cameron's dreaded "RRIP" offensive scheme (Run-Run-Incomplete-Punt). Man, it's a punishment to watch a consistently unimaginative and predictable offense week after week...
Good times. The ol razzle dazzle was a deep shot to Mason or Clayton.
RRIP 😂
They are trying to get the offense off the field like they hate that unit.
They are trying to get the offense off the field like they hate that unit.
Why does only Canada get the heat and Tomlin not a single %? He is the HC and responsible for the whole team...
Because he’s a black man.
In nearly every play your showed there was a receiver on a route to the middle of the field. They are in the progressions. Nothing is stopping KP from throwing to the middle or down the numbers.
Correct you said he has progressions do you know his progressions? Most times you don’t get time to get to your 3rd 4th read. Ben also didn’t use middle of field with Canada. And can’t use arm strength bc throws to MOF are shorter then outside of numbers
i've been watching dolphins games whenever the steelers aren't playing just to relieve myself and see a functional offense for once
I watch pre-2019 Steeler highlights.
Been following your channel for a few years now and I think this might be your best video yet. Really great video essay, looking forward to more
Thank you!!!
Can you talk about the Saints' offense next? Why is it so anemic at times, and as soon as we hit the 2 minute drill we go to a super explosive offense
The steelers in two minute drills also do really well. I haven't watched saints so wonder if it's some similar issues
Pete Carmichael
Derek Carr. That's his MO
Same as Oklahoma.
The league is rigged.
As a Steelers fan in the UK watching this will be such a therapeutic experience
Pickens line at 0.5 yards and he ends up with 2 catches for -1 yard 🙃
Im both a Steelers and Iowa Hawkeye fan. The last couple seasons have really tested my love for football haha
You truly love that black and yellow huh? 😂
The one thing I was surprised you didn’t touch on was when Canada first came into the Stillers employ, he ran a a college-style offense with frequent motion often times up to four receivers. I remember comments from announcers/pundits/TVanalysts that Stillers needed to slow down the offense pre-snap movements for old Ben and Ben wasn’t liking the plays (reasons).
I thought some OG Cowher smash mouth football and Todd Haley ‘wizardry’ drove me crazy but this is FUBAR-cake right here boyo.
Great job! Best video review of Canada’s woeful ineptitude in contrast to other successful 21st century offenses I have seen to date.
FIRE 🔥 CANADA 🇨🇦
Anybody want to talk about how everyone lost on Pickens last night having less than 0.5 receiving yards?
As an LSU fan, I have no idea why he ever got a job anywhere else. We had historically great offenses after he left, but were notoriously defense-heavy while he was there.
I think it’s funny how you point out how all the best offenses in the league all use motion at the snap, and how the Steelers don’t. I remember when Canada was promoted to OC, motion was his style, that he was going to bring motion into the offense. Most, if not all, of his motions are done presnap and they settle before snapping allowing the defenses to adjust and not have to adjust on the fly like you pointed out. Canadas offense IS ancient. I’m not sure this offense would even work at the high school level. Maybe peewee.
The mainstream media needs to see this video, since they quite obviously have not even watched the Steelers games this season, or are incapable of understanding what they are seeing.
They keep on publishing articles that crap all over Steelers fans as if we are sheep herded by "high expectation frustration" and "crowd rage".
No, media sleuths, try because Steeler Nation are the most savvy fanbase in all of sports, and we KNOW WHAT WE ARE WATCHING.
Thank you for this video that sums it all up, even for the blind and hard of hearing, Sir!
lmao PICKENS ENDED WITH -1 YARDS
Amazing job Brett, you hit it right on the money! Very well explained.
4th point, no accountability for the HC and the front office.
Looks like a “Hope Offense” to me.
The Steelers could have easily beat the jags it should have been 9-9 at half
@@HOWTOLIFEEE refs affected the game but the Steelers were cooked without Pickett
I'm ready to be hurt on TNF after watching this. TITAN UP!
He got 2 catches for -1 yards... thanks man
Thank you Brett ! Being waiting for this one . Finally someone who can be objective without cherry picking
I might be able to watch the Steelers this week
Also thanks for reminding me that we're only 2 and a half years into this 20+ year ride
10:08 George Pickens 2 rec/-1 yard with 10 minutes to go! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I know Pickett has not looked great this year, but not for lack of trying. In the 4th, he’s just different and I have to believe it’s because he’s decided that the OC has called a bad game and just gets mad and balls out. I also believe the predictability of the offense has held Najee back from his full potential The last two years. I don’t think Najee is the next AP, but he’s damn sure better than what this offense has given him. Canada needs to go, and maybe even Tomlin at this point. That’s more of a stretch but he can’t see the forest through the trees it seems right now.
Maybe TOMLIN? MAYBE?!
DEFINITELY. Look at the numbers he's trash
Phenomenal video and thank you for highlighting this Brett. You should forward it to every ESPN Analyst
Pretty ironic that the Pickens 0.5 yard bet didn’t hit 😂
Pickens at 0.5 yards aged like milk
Thank you for this, one thing you should have mentioned is Tomlin's insane defense of Canada in addition to his philosophy that the defense needs to win the games. Worked in the 2000s but you need an above average offense in todays league to win now. TJ and Minkah are generational players that will ultimately be wasted until there is change.
Pickens really scored -1 yards...
Never seen a situation where a COORDINATOR is doing a fantastic job sabotaging a team, fans are literally singing for him to be fired during games, and the organization does nothing.
What dirt does this guy have?!?
George pickens over 0.5 yards lol
Been waiting on this episode since you mentioned it in the last video. As a film buff and football guy, it feels great to hear someone else confirm everything I’ve been seeing for years. It makes me sick that we have 3 All Pro’s on defense and we’ve had a junior high offense for the last 5 seasons. They need to play this on the Jumbotron at tonight’s game. Maybe Mike T will take notes 📝
Tomlin is only there for one reason. And he can't be fired because of his protected class privilege
I miss the days of the Killer B's.
I don't think you even mentioned how braindead the insistence that Canada and the o-line coach are in terms of schematics as well. The tired zone blocking scheme they employ doesn't play to any of the linemens strengths and is a big reason for the poor 1st and 2nd down runs as Warren and Harris have to make something out of nothing. Isaac Seumalo has somehow gone from one of the best offensive linemen in the league to one of the worst and Mason Cole has gone from a solid above average piece to one of the worst linemen in the league. It gives me a headache watching these guys not being played to their strengths which just makes Canada's incompetence shine a little bit more
Here after george went for 2 passes for -1 yards. As a pitt fan that hurt lmao
Kenny Pickett MVP 2nd half of the season now, thanks Brett
Good job covering this. As a Steelers fan, it is spot on. This team has been stale and outdated for many years and nothing will change as long as they can keep hovering around .500. It is beyond pathetic and a waste of time.
Lmao Pickens didn’t even hit the 0.5 prop😂
Brett's videos are so good I gained semi-clairvoyance when they are nearly published, been checking for the past 12 hours lol.
Can't believe the Ravens are 1-4 against this offense 😡
I can, we know who the league wants to win these games and why
@@sainttrunks1982nah the Steelers just know what the ravens do lol
You mean 1-6 lol y’all suck bad

@@mytwosense9135The backups play better against us than Lamar does honestly. I'm more worried goingninto Sunday against the Ravens if Lamar is hurt than if he is playing.
Steelers fan here. To all you fans of other teams, consider yourself lucky. Having to watch the Steelers offense is a lot like the Ludovico Technique from A Clockwork Orange. You feel sick, you're screaming for the torture to stop, but you just can't look away.
LMAO the george pickens half a yard missed
It’s refreshing to see someone not pile on Pickett. Sophomore slumps are normal esp for a QB that has to essentially kill himself just to win games.
How normal is it to expect your second year QB to play perfect football while always facing 3rd and long? His coordinator and line have done nothing to help him adjust to game speed.
I put this on Mike T. He absolutely is telling his offensive staff that the teams priority is to create consistent positive yardage, control possession and limit turnovers (Rex Ryan ball) don’t let the QB mess it up.
The problem is that this is 2023 not 2010.
Hey, I'm an Iowa Hawkeyes fan, so I understand your pain. I think our Offense is literally last in the BCS and our defense top five. Excruciating to watch!!
For a future video, what about like a rookie check-in taking a look at a couple who have surprised this year.
By far the best analysis of the Steelers I’ve seen out of all the channels I follow. Thank you sir! Great vid, well not great because it points out how bad the Steelers are but you get what I mean
Come on Brett, as much you talk about Malört, you are going end up loving it!
Can you do a video on active playcalling for defense ? How DCs adapat (or not) during a match, good vs bad DCs, etc ? We talk a lot about utilizing personnel well on offense, what about using talents on defense ?
If the defense is just a reverse-engineered Fangio system then it will be bad.
Exhibit A: Packers
Exhibit B: Chargers
Exhibit C: 2022 Vikings
I'm a JV and low level varsity football official. In evenly matched games, I see the motion trick, midfield throws, and (at least efforts at) that first down explosiveness. In junior varsity in Iowa. Hell, if the steelers dropped a few more passes a game, they could almost be one of my local middle school teams.
Here after watching the game. After the first couple of drives I thought the Kollman Curse had struck again. Then Canada fell back into his old habits with static pre snap positions, throwing almost exclusively short to medium balls outside the numbers and running on 2nd/3rd and long.
Brett love your videos, been watching for a long time and I learned so much about football from you. I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on why the bills offense is so inconsistent? Sometimes they murder teams, sometimes they can barely scratch out a touchdown, I’m just curious what you may see in the film. Keep up the good work!
I love this channel and channels that teach me about sports in general. One of the great things about TH-cam is that it allows for sports content like this to exist.
Keep up the good work!
I can't even watch anymore. I think the worst part is thinking about our players and how dispiriting it must be to be part of this weekly exercise in futility. Trying to remain invested in the team, doing your best, acting like (because you have to) what you do as a player matters....so soul-crushing.
As a Browns fan who did not understand the Steeler hype coming into this season, thank you
George Pickens missed his 0.5 receiving yards pick. Went 2/5 for -1 yards
I was watching the game against jacksonville with our neighbors this last week and we were cheering for CHECKDOWNS. Like, moving the ball forwards was our bar. It’s not high.
