Steelers rookie QB Kenny Pickett calls for change following loss vs. Eagles

By Aaron Becker | Last updated 10/31/22

Steelers rookie QB Kenny Pickett invoked Albert Einstein following yet another frustrating loss.

"It's insane to keep doing the same things over and over again and expect something different," Pickett told reporters following Sunday's 35-13 debacle against the Eagles. "We've been having these problems all year, so that has to get changed. It has to get fixed."

Einstein, the renowned genius, is believed to have said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

The Steelers could use a few geniuses to fix what ails the offense.

Pittsburgh, the worst scoring offense in the NFL (15 ppg), struggled again to score Sunday. They won't score in Week 9 either. The Steelers are off. Meanwhile, they have many questions, namely:

Will the Steelers fire offensive coordinator Matt Canada? His offense hasn't topped 20 points since an opening win against the Bengals.

Will they trade WR Chase Claypool before Tuesday's trade deadline? He has been part of trade speculation, although the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport appeared to shut that down Sunday.

Big-name WRs generating trade interest:
-- #Texans WR Brandin Cooks has been the target of multiple calls.
-- #Steelers WR Chase Claypool has been in focus, but is not expected to be deal, barring a shift.
-- Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy has been the center of calls, as DEN sputtered.
