00:00 If you could score an opening drive touchdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers offense, you
00:03 don't change that.
00:04 Whatever you did, it worked.
00:05 You continue to do it moving forward.
00:08 I felt like everybody afterwards was a fan of it.
00:11 Deontay Johnson said that it was nice to kind of have Canada down there to just talk through
00:17 things.
00:18 Jalen Warren said the same thing.
00:19 I think what the best thing was is that you watched it from the box.
00:22 Canada would sit down with Kenny after every single drive.
00:25 They'd go through a lot of stuff.
00:26 They'd go through the past drive and then what they expect on the upcoming drive.
00:30 And then he'd make his rounds.
00:32 He'd go over and talk to the wide receiver core.
00:34 And then he'd talk to the offensive lineman.
00:35 And then he'd go back to Kenny.
00:36 And I'm like, that's huge.
00:39 It's not just your quarterback who has struggled this season.
00:41 It's all facets of your offense.
00:43 And to have that time to sit there and say, OK, look it.
00:46 Hey, this is what we got to improve on.
00:48 This is what we're doing.
00:49 Even if it's just encouragement.
00:50 Even if you just go over there and you're like, hey, guys, look it.
00:52 Things are going to be fine.
00:53 That was a bad drive.
00:54 We'll get them on the next time.
00:56 It's like you're part of it.
00:58 I felt like Canada prior to this week being up in the box, it was almost as if it was
01:02 like a disconnect.
01:03 It was just like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
01:06 Matt Canada is all the way up there.
01:07 Nobody really cares about him.
01:09 If he's down there, I felt like he was part of the mix.
01:12 He was part of the team.
01:14 Also thought it was very interesting just watching everybody just analyze Canada all
01:18 night long.
01:19 At one point I saw a tweet that said that he's like 10 yards behind the play while calling
01:24 the play.
01:25 I thought that was hilarious just because like we now like he is.
01:29 It didn't matter what was happening on the field.
01:31 Canada was doing his thing on the sideline.
01:32 Nobody's just like, all right, what's different?
01:35 Let's talk about it.
01:36 I think it was huge for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
01:38 I don't expect it to change.
