dirtybirds233 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 As per usual, this person likely knows nothing of the Falcons. AS loves him some two TE sets. This also allows Pitts to split out wide more often. Smith is a compliment piece to Pitts, not a replacement. PokerSteve, Voice of Reason, Lionzblade and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampyMux12 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Yeah, it's funny how little the average "expert" seems to know about us. Gotta say though... Would be fun to see Pitts in Cincy with Burrow, Chase and Higgins 🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFanSince1969 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 That's dumb. I wouldnt even be all that upset if we got Darnell Washington to go with both of them. Then you could put jonnu at te, Washington can be in line and split Pitts out wide. There's a million different combinations of routes you could run from that.

gazoo Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 You can tell by watching the imbedded video labeled “Here’s 350+ yards & TDs in overthrows” That Pitts took a big step back in 2022 and was clearly over-drafted. Mariota could have taken us to the Super Bowl if his players had stepped up a little bit more. Purple/ I can’t wait to see Pitts in his 3rd season with a real QB throwing him the ball. The games I attended in person, Pitts was running open downfield all game. Mariota either never saw him, or when he did he couldn’t get him the ball. It was awful listening to Mariota fans blaming Pitts for a bad year. FalconKing918, papachaz, Lionzblade and 7 others 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killing Floor Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I said and I mean it still. This made sense in 2022. We were essentially wasting a year of our unicorn’s rookie deal in 2022 and would have made sense to trade for edge or DB “then”. It doesn’t make sense now. I don’t believe AT ALL that Art Smith understands 2TE offense and his record of using KP as a VERY MEH blocker and not prioritizing him as a catch target despite knowing beyond any doubt that EVERY time Pitts touches the ball it’s a 1st down clearly illustrates A Smith’s lack of confidence in that type of scheme. But I also believe Art Smith is smart and capable enough of learning about the football and I do expect to see J Smith and K Pitts dominating the offense in 2023. Art Smith knows this is the path to keeping his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmo_dlo Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Honestly I don’t think this is as absurd as you guys think, especially if they really like Anderson and think he’s the solution to our pass rush. I don’t like the idea but IMO it’s not as far fetched as you make it sound. Freddies 3rd Cuz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maaaaaybe if we had some viable pass catchers to replace him and you could get really good value (multiple 1sts - which you're not getting). But trading Pitts leaves Drake, Jonnu and that's pretty much it. Kaptain Krazy and Killing Floor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it’s Justin Fields fanboys or people that simply don’t get football. The only time people call him “just a TE” is when they have a narrative to push.

Kaptain Krazy Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Unless a bottom-5 team trading for him, it would take multiple 1st rounders to make it a reasonable trade - he's only two years removed from being the 4th selection. Arizona swaps the 3rd pick for Pitts. Falcons draft Will Anderson at #3 and Quentin Johnson at #8. PokerSteve and Tim Mazetti 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
