Pittsburgh Steelers' Preseason Showed How Matt Canada Plans to Attack the Middle of the Field Again

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of 93.7 The Fan and KDKA-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers hadn't been a team that specialized in attacking the middle of the field in their passing game with Ben Roethlisberger over the past few years. But with Matt Canada, that appears to be changing with Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett at quarterback. How Canada plans to scheme open tight ends like Pat Freiermuth and Zach Gentry, Chase Claypool in the slot, and Najee Harris, all play into what may save the Steelers' offense this season. Also, was the trade for Malik Reed enough to address the second unit of the defense? Players like Robert Spillane, Isaiahh Loudermilk, Chris Wormley and Mark Robinson make it a tough question.
