Why isn’t Kyle Pitts more involved in the Falcons' offense? DirtyBirds | RiseUpATL
, that freakishly athletic tight end the Falcons drafted No. 4 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, has 10 targets and had only three against the Rams on Sunday.
That’s all well and good, but Smith might have forgotten one important detail: the Falcons aren’t winning. They’re off to their second straight 0-2 start in the two years of the Smith era. Maybe getting Pitts more looks would help bring the team more success and wins. When passing windows are that small for a quarterback who might not have the confidence to fit the ball in them, it’s easy to understand part of why Pitts is seeing so few targets. The Rams and Saints—the two teams the Falcons have faced this season—both have solid passing defenses as well, so if they’re looking to shut down Pitts, they’ll be able to if he continues to struggle to win matchups.
Another factor that may see Pitts getting more looks in the Falcons’ offense is the breakout performance from rookie receiveron Sunday. London caught eight of his 12 targets for 86 yards along with a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Maybe that was part of the Pitts effect, where teams tried to take away the tight end as an option and left London open instead. If that’s the case, London will start to draw defenders his way as the Falcons’ seemingly clear-cut No.
