First, it was Matt Canada. He was the problem. So what do the Pittsburgh Steelers do? They relieve him of his duties. Now we fast forward to now and the team still stinks. So if it wasn’t Canada, it must be head coach Mike Tomlin, right? Now he has to go.
But how about putting some onus on these players? Guys who are compensated handsomely to play football are going out and not playing winning football. Playing without heart, playing without discipline and playing without any desire to win games.
The prime example on Sunday was unfortunately once again wide receiver George Pickens. These two plays by Pickens perfectly sum up the big problem on this team that no head coach or offensive coordinator can fix.

#Steelers WR George Pickens shows ZERO effort in trying to block a #Colts defender with his teammate running full speed at them

Pickens is out here making business decisions in a must-win game to the detriment of his team. But let’s not just pin this on Pickens because there is a video. He might be the worst culprit on the team but this roster is littered with me-first guys who don’t put forth consistent effort and play with any modicum of discipline.
