In a recent statement, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett expressed his understanding of the team's message behind the firing of offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Pickett recognizes that the recent change signifies the offense's underperformance and the need for significant improvements moving forward.

While Pickett does not anticipate wholesale changes within the coaching staff, with running backs coach Eddie Faulkner taking on the role of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan calling the plays, he understands that there must be a substantial change in production. The firing of Canada made it clear that the unit has fallen short of meeting expectations throughout the season.

Speaking with Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Pickett emphasized the challenge for everyone involved, stating, "It's a challenge to everybody. I feel like you have to take it personally. It's a guy you've worked with since I got drafted here, you want to play great, you don't want to see anyone get let go like that. So, absolutely we have to answer the bell, find out what we need to do to play better and then just go take care of business."

Pickett's performance, in particular, has drawn disappointment over the first 10 games of the season. Therefore, he accurately interprets the message from the team, which indicates that both he and the offense as a whole need to step up their game. Whether or not they can deliver on this expectation will determine the extent of future changes within the Steelers' offensive unit.

As the Steelers strive for a successful turnaround, all eyes will be on Pickett and the Pittsburgh offense to see if they can elevate their play and meet the demands placed upon them. The coming weeks will undoubtedly be critical for evaluating the team's strength and identifying if further alterations are necessary to ignite the offense in Pittsburgh.
