"I think it's reasonable to expect that to be significant," Tomlin said of the offensive continuity. And that development will dictate how much they'll open the playbook for Pickett in 2023. Though Tomlin didn't elaborate on the decision to retain offensive coordinator Matt Canada, who is under contract through the 2023 season, he did say that continuity in scheme should aid Pickett's development. Pickett threw only one interception to five touchdowns in that stretch and orchestrated four fourth-quarter game winning drives. Though he got off to a rocky start with two passing touchdowns to eight interceptions at the bye, Pickett and the Steelers bounced back to go 7-2 after the bye. Pickett took over the starting job early in the 2022 season when he came off the bench to start the second half of the Week 4 game against the New York Jets. There was some anticipation things because of the close proximity that we've all talked about quite a bit, but the reality of having worked with him for 12 months, it's just more evidence of what we should be excited about - his willingness to work, his professional approach, his maturity in processing. "I think I'm probably more excited about that because I've just been around him intimately now for 12 months. "I'm excited about Kenny individually in terms of the growth that he's capable of making and, and what he's willing to do to realize that," Tomlin said at the league's annual owners meetings in Phoenix.
