Kenny Pickett Shines Under New Offensive Coordinator: Ike Taylor Weighs In

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a significant change by parting ways with offensive coordinator Matt Canada, and the results were immediately visible. In their first game after the move, the Steelers managed to amass over 400 yards of total offense for the first time since 2020, marking a notable improvement in their offensive performance.

Former Steelers cornerback and Super Bowl champion, Ike Taylor, offered his perspective on how the changes involving Kenny Pickett, Mike Sullivan, and Eddie Faulkner have positively impacted the team's recent success.

Mike Sullivan's presence as the quarterbacks coach, along with his prior experience working with Eli Manning during their tenure with the New York Giants, has proven to be invaluable. His insights and guidance add a layer of expertise to the quarterback position, which is crucial for the development of young signal-callers like Kenny Pickett.

One key aspect that Taylor highlighted was the improved communication between coaches Sullivan and Faulkner. Their collaboration, with Sullivan's input as the quarterbacks coach and Faulkner's involvement as the offensive coordinator, has contributed to a more cohesive offensive strategy. This enhanced coordination enables Pickett to operate with greater poise and confidence in the pocket.
