This is what happens when there is an OC change.

Remeber Ken Zampeze?  His offense didn't score a TD for two games.  He got fired and Bill Lazor immediately called a 3 TD 24 point game (overtime loss).  There is nothing charted on a new OC, so every defensive call is an uneducated guess.

You could chart the entire season for Pittsburg's offense through last week, and it would not have helped you today at all.  The high probability of the play call for a particular alignment and personnel package is no longer valid as it was for what Matt Canada would call, not what the new guy would lean towards.  The Steelers offense will continue like this for a few more weeks while the tendencies are starting to get charted, then defensive coordinators will start getting a better feel what to anticipate.
