Ben Roethlisberger calls out Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada once again
Ben Roethlisberger hasn’t been shy about his feelings for Steelers' OC Matt Canada this season. He's back at it again.
On this week's episode of "Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger," kicker Chris Boswell’s comments in Week 6 came into discussion. "It ain’t 'cause of you. I can guarantee you that much," Boswell said heading to the locker room following the Steelers win over the Buccaneers.
"You know [Boswell] didn’t say that to him," Roethlisberger said referring to QB Mitchell Trubisky. "You know who he was talking to."
Former Steeler Maurkice Pouncey asked: "Who? Matt?"
"I don’t’ know," a chuckling Roethlisberger added. "I can’t confirm or deny anything."
To add fuel to the fire, a video also surfaced this week of a Colts player on defense yelling, "It's the same plays," during last Monday night's matchup.
The Steelers offense has yet to find its footing, ranking as the fifth worst team in total yards per game (313.2) and points per game (17.6), per ESPN.com.
With just six weeks remaining in the regular season and the playoffs seeming almost out of reach, it doesn’t look like the 4-7 Steelers will consider parting ways with Canada until the offseason.
Pittsburgh has had a tendency to not “fire” coaches, but instead let their contracts expire. It seems to be heading that way once again.
