Steelers QB Mitch Trubisky says he doesn’t have freedom to call audibles

Should Mitch Trubisky have full control over the offense?

The problems with the Pittsburgh Steelers offense are obvious, and the blame can be spread around. The latest revelation, courtesy of quarterback Mitch Trubisky, does nothing to clarify things.

According to Trubisky, he isn’t allowed to call audibles in all situations. What freedom he does have in that area is something the team is still trying to decipher.

“We’re still figuring out when it’s a good time for me to audible,” Trubisky said.

Trubisky is a six-year NFL veteran and has been named to the Pro Bowl. What exactly is the delay in giving the man full audible privileges? If the coaches don’t trust a guy with this much experience to change plays on the fly, what hope does rookie Kenny Pickett have?

If the team doesn’t have confidence in Trubisky, maybe it is time to either let him play his game or bench him in favor of Pickett.

Let us know in the comments what you think about this and who you think is to blame for the team’s offensive struggles.
